For my assignment i chose to do the  wonders of ti.  (more like blunders)

Post anything about ti or ti calculators that really pisses you off.
Please keep it with in these for calculators;
* ti-83+ series
*ti-nspire

or anything about costumer cares.  I know alot of us have complaining to do.

Edit:

* Ti-Nspire: os 2.1
           prevents from downgrading.
           Unlockable with n-leash

* Ti-Nspire: no native asm support

No native asm support! that's a big one.

good luck on digesting your sustenance.
I will bend the truth here and there. (os 2.53MP broke many programs made by ti for ti.)

What were the prices for ti-84 10 yrs ago?

price went up for old tech.

TI-84+ made after 2007 broke compatibility with several applications and programs, due to an hardware change (missing extra RAM pages)

when was 83's made?

TI issuing DMCA take-down requests in response to the hacking of the signing keys.

explain plz?  dmca?

Stands for Digital Millennium Copyright Act. They used it to prevent the keys from being posted on websites.

how would that go against the copyright?

1. The Ti-Nspire, Texas Instruments current “in style” calculator has just recently updated the operating system to OS v2.1.  At the same time, preventing the installation of “any and all” previous operating systems.  About 2 weeks later, outraged N-spire users finished a program  that exploits a problem with TI-Nspire Clickpads. The problem lies in the order of activation in the restarting the OS.  Running the program on the computer and following a few simple instructions, allows you to install whatever operating system you want.  What took years to make by TI, only took two weeks to undo.

2. Texas Instruments has always been proud of their calculators for providing the best educational software they could.  When the Ti-Nspire came out, TI focused on the making and sharing of documents that students could make and share.  So why have they left out something they have had in previous calculators that opened up 3rd party educational program?  Texas Instruments decided not to put any native asm (assembly) support, even though most commands are used in the operating system.  After some time however, brilliant programmers developed a program named N-Leash. N-Leash opens all native asm commands for programs to use.

opps thank you very much on that.

I can't remember where on here i saw this but,    Maybe ti calculators are still over priced because theres only one or two people left that remember how to make such a crappy display.

3.  After many years Texas Instruments proudly release operating system 2.53 Math-Print.  The new os provided very few new features, and for the most part did nothing but make everything look “pretty”.  It wasn’t a very brilliant update.  Instead of actually fixing problems, they caused more.   They apparently didn’t check their coding very well, as if you used certain functions together, the calculator would crash, and you would lose most of your valuable information on it.  Not to fear TI, people are used to cleaning up after you.  A person that goes by the name of BrandonW took the time, and within a couple of weeks created a patch that would fix all the errors that accompanied the update.  Texas Instruments still haven’t fixed it for themselves yet.
