Maybe if ti makes an account and we find it, we can stop their ip address from coming to this site.
I don't think we can do that.  Actually I think if someone from TI came to this site and became a member, I'd be honored for them to care about this place. :D

I hear where you're coming from, it's just that I don't think that's the right thing to do.  TI may be trying to prevent us from doing things, but if they see us (the community) as a threat, we should pat ourselves on the back, for a small group of men has attracted the attention of a large company.  That is something to be proud of.  :)

Can admins view what users are reading? I would say an account is suspicious if it was logged in often, reading member-only posts mostly, and making very few posts of their own.

It's also hard to tell if they are just a lurker or not.

lol, well I don't doubt they read our front page and stuff, but I don't think we really have to worry about a spy yet, unless we start making all the jailbreaking software for the nspire instead of other sites.

I think that TI's sole purpose of releasing the OS was to block Ndless, and they just put some random features in to make the new OS look great. So, from now on, you probably shouldn't get anything TI releases, because they might mean to backfire at the community.

It's funny, there was once a time when there were some people that worked at TI and actually spoke with people in the community. Some community members even got hired on at TI and were able to do work there. Sadly, those days are gone, and I doubt they will return.

Okay, sorry for the double post, but it's important.
Code: [Select]
I actually got a valid response that in no way tries to dodge the subject at all.
This is the actual quoted response.  (With line breaks added)

In regards to your inquiry about Ndless and Nleash, I understand you want to know why the downgrade protection was
implemented on the calculator.

The information I received someone uses a third party application to install unauthorized operating systems, as well as
programs or applications from unauthorized sources, there is a possibility that the calculator could be permanently ruined.
This is true for many programmable calculators, not just the TI-Nspire. So the inability to downgrade was put there to
protect your calculator from becoming damaged and unusable since it is possible to put your calculator in a state that
becomes unusable using these third party apps.
So not a bad response.
