And yes, TI calculators have indeed been improving, apparently.

The TI-84 Plus is a graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments which was released in early 2004. There is no original TI-84, only the TI-84 Plus, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition models, and the TI-84 Plus CE. The TI-84 Plus is an enhanced version of the TI-83 Plus. The key-by-key correspondence is relatively the same, but the TI-84 features improved hardware. The archive (ROM) is about 3 times as large, and the CPU is about 2.5 times as fast (over the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus)[citation needed]. A USB port and built-in clock functionality were also added. The USB port on the TI-84 Plus series is USB On-The-Go compliant, similar to the next generation TI-Nspire calculator, which supports connecting to USB based data collection devices and probes, and supports device to device transfers over USB rather than over the serial link port.

    American kids and their damn fancy calculators. I got through a technician degree in Electronics and a Grad degree in Robotics with a Casio FX82. It can display two lines with simple letters and numbers, no graphs. It also stores up to 6 numbers in memory.

        It didn’t… You just have to be able to think and not suck at math

        This is a stupid take. Try that on Windows 7’s 3-number calculator (basically replicated in Windows 10’s standard mode calculator) and see what happens: 8+9 will get calculated to 17 the moment you hit the + after 9, and 17 gets stored in the first memory.

          It’s… not a take… it’s a dumb joke… was trying to make the equation dumb enough that it was obvious, but apparently it was not clear enough. Holy what are these responses
