        Yeah but at least work on an enclosed system is always zero. Idk why but I always chuckle about that.

        Sure, you can prove it in like 4 to 8 lines of multivariate calculus, but its always gonna be 0.

      It sounds fake because it sounds like they only used software hacks. But they also added a microcontroller board in it with wireless networking

    Its been quite a while since I’ve taken a proctored exam, but then all the proctors would clear all the memory on your calc before they’d let you use it for test. Is that not the case anymore?

      Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.

      The article said it can be download “on demand” so that might make the clearing pointless.

      The launcher program can be downloaded on-demand, avoiding detection if a teacher inspects or clears the calculator’s memory

      If I understood it correctly, the Wi-Fi module appears as a standard calculator-to-calculator interface, so built-in commands can install the cheat apps at any time.

    What would happen if now plug in another calculator? AFAIK that only a P2P connection and never meant for >2 parties.
