I find it funny how we keep find exploits in TIs software to allow ndless somehow 
It's simple: TI keeps writing buggy software...

I know, just the formatting is missing. All I know about this are the IRC logs and that it was only barely translated at the time I wrote the IRC message

Hmm, geek or another staff/admin, you might want to insert the front page news inside QUOTE tags because apparently it was copied verbatim from the original english post on TI-Planet, which they see as plagerism: http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=15498#p172161 
It was a translation of the original news article from ti-planet. It wasn't translated when geekboy posted the news.
I'm pretty sure it was (otherwise it couldn't have been the same words/sentences), however the actual link to the specific english version wasn't written at the top of the post at that time. But the english version was still accessible if you enabled the global english flag on ti-planet (top right of the site). The post now shows the fr+en links.
I had it enabled and only the first two sentences were translated, nothing else. But anyway, copy/paste verbatim (without quoting, that is), is, indeed, not acceptable.
(Or a newly written article could be posted, with no need for quoting etc., just the source - which was apparently what Juju was supposed/about to do, but Geekboy posted the topic before he could) Exactly, like in the IRC logs. (Looks like I forgot to paste the link into my previous post: http://chat.eeems.ca:9003/?server=irc.omnimaga.org%206667&channel=omnimaga&date=Sun%20Nov%2002%202014#1414963253288) The posts after critor's are even worse, just bitching about omnimaga. Critor could just have posted here or mailed that he doesn't like the way this had been cross-posted
Well, admins/staff from both sites know about the situation anyway, without the need for critor to post here (which he won't, like others, for other reasons some time ago - but you don't seem to know the whole story, so yeah, that could appear as bashing with no reasons, while in fact, there are. But that's not the topic here  )
I know something about it and I could also notice some of the disrespect, but this now is just exaggerating beyond human levels :-/ Edit : oh well, Lionel replied also (to you) here : https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=172189#p172189 in which he says the same as me here, pretty much
Really? He posted a reply to my post on another thread on another forum? That's just childish. (Edit 2 : Also, English is not a problem on TI-Planet if you/anyone want(s) to post stuff there - contrary to posting french or another language here on Omni, which is understandable) I know, but at least 80% of the posts I want to read are french, even those from parisse who wanted to get some help with the toolchain. Especially French is hard to translate if it contains mistakes like missing "`"s.

It was a translation of the original news article from ti-planet. It wasn't translated when geekboy posted the news.Granted, instead of "site: [...]" he should have written "source: [...]", but that's it (and also corrected some small grammatical mistakes).
Oh I didn't know it was translated from the French news (although I wonder who wrote the first translation? Unless Geek used Google Translate). Everything went on so fast that when I saw the news was nearly identical to TI-Planet's, I thought it was really copied from TI-Planet's English translation. I think that if a news editor translates a news from another site, he should perhaps post it like I suggested, though (or if he's worried about the news being too long, then put a link saying it was translated from original post on TI-Planet). After all, a translated news still holds the original content.
In the IRC logs it looks like that The_King translated it.

I can only hope that this relationship doesn't get worse, as I like both sites. I'm mainly here, though, as I don't speak any French and it's not really a solution to use a translator.

As for DNS stuff I often used freedns.afraid.org in the past and it did the job well, but I don't know if it supports dynamic IPs. They do and it works great! The setup is a bit weird as it's not natively supported outside *-WRT but so far I had 0% downtime. In the meantime I set up bind on my VPS and use a dynamic subdomain to access my home.

Wow, now that's great news! I am surprised it didn't take longer to be honest, seeing as downgrade protections get stronger and stronger. It's just 4 bytes in the NAND. To disable the protection just overwrite it with 0x00000000, it's that simple! The nice thing is that the OS is so dumb that it doesn't even check the OS version that should be installed against its own, so you can install 3.6 directly from within 3.9. I'll have to check this out. What impresses me even more is that this appears to work on hardware J and higher too (although of course OS 3.1 will not run on those so they'll have to use 3.6) Well, it's meant for HW >J as other HW versions can already be downgraded with nLaunch, else it would be a little superflous...

Hi, is there a way to hide ndless folder from the documents? I have to delete everything on my calculator during exams, but I don't want my games gone. Is there a way to redirect the my documents/documents thing? thanks. I have nhide, but it does not hide the ndless folder. I don't encourage cheating at all (and the teachers trust me) so I always tell them to use the maintenance menu to do a complete format before a test or lend out their own calc if formatting is somehow not possible. This will get rid of ndless with 100% certainty.

Well, I made this post very active with only one off-topic sentence...
So let's get rid of any misunderstanding and stop talking about it.
I just wanted to specify that :
1) If I want my students to know something about their calculators I get them first to TI-Planet,
2) If they want a little more, I talk about Omnimaga too... but a bunch of my students are afraid about writing... even in french, not considering english writing as a possibility. Their abilities are maths, physics and a bit on computer science... that's it. They are afraid of writing? I can't think of a single reason why. Everybody can be anonymous here, it's just the Internet. To get back on topic, I'm pretty impressed by this new release.
I just wanted to know if it is planned to :
1) use UTF8 encoding ? Yes, if you can suggest an input method. Latin-1 or ISO-8859-15 would be easier though and it contains most of the needed characters. 2) let users choose the place for MicroPython run ?
Yes, third item of the Todo-list. Not a very high priority, though.

But anyway, we're going off-topic... The topic can still be changed  In the meantime I could implement some UI stuff and saving. I also removed the "Save&Run" menu in favor of a simple "Run" item. Only difference is, that it doesn't save. Editing a file:  Selecting a location to save to:  File is attached. Shold run on all calc models, but not very usable on clickpad without cursor movement.Please report if you find it useful! If anyone wants to help: http://github.com/Vogtinator/pyWriteTodo-list: -Syntax highligting -Horizontal scrolling (partially implemented) -Settings dialog (font and location of micropython)

On my Nspire CX CAS it take about 5 seconds for python to start, it didn't happen before... Yeah, I know that happens sometimes. I'm not sure why and where this happens, but it's not really a big issue. Aah good. I see that that's only a script editor though (which is already awesome). I reckon that a compiler wouldn't be too hard, either.
If everything goes on-calc, I could see this become a kind of Axe. Compiling isn't possible, but that shouldn't be an issue as micropython translates fast enough. (We'd still need some way to create graphics, though ) ConvertImg?Do you have more files than before? I noticed that when I have a lot of files on my calculator, the documents menu takes much longer to open and starting stuff takes longer too. It's not even fragmentation, it's just that the NAND is really f*cking slow and the filesystem as well. I would understand if it was writing being slow, as it has to be reliable, even if you pull the battery or reset during saving. awesome.
Then. the most important question for game programmers:
Does It Have All Keys Repeat?
if so, I might make some programs using this (and learn python) Apart from a gets like "input()" function there isn't any input handling right now. I'm not sure how to do that, probably "isKeyPressed".

This is really promising. I am curious how fast this will run compared to Lua and C? There are some graphs on ti-planet, although it changed a bit. There are three modes in micropython: -Bytecode-Interpreter: A bit slower than Lua -Native (generates ARM code): A lot faster than lua (dependant on code) -Viper (generates optimized ARM code): Almost like native, although variables must have types assigned to them It would definitively be a great alternative for those who prefer Python and I know that at one point or another, Omnimaga always had its share of Python users.
Glad this is still being updated, by the way. I wish you good luck on this.
Yeah, with a lot of other stuff to do work will be slow, but present

Ah, I see. and are you going to make the on button be ctrl-c? Other wise an infinite loop requires a reset, correct? Exactly. Shouldn't be hard to do, it has a dedicated IRQ (power management).

I didn't tell them about Omnimaga yet (you know, english speaking, french maths students... does not match).
I think TI-Planet is a french calculator community
Yes, Bisam is quite active on tiplanet. He was referring to the fact that Voginator's project is on Omnimaga, but not tiplanet.
No, he's referring to the fact that he didn't tell his students about omnimaga, as they're french and omnimaga isn't. (Although the reasoning isn't quite clear to me). Edit: Edited wrong post *facepalm*

Yes, there isn't anything else in nsp yet (except for nsp.readRTC(), but that's not really useful and not documented anywhere).
