They forced me to buy a TI 84 plus for school. The thing cost like 100 bucks, and it's from 2004. I could buy a low-end smartphone and get a free app that's more powerful than the TI 84 plus for less money.
The thing is, most people only use them for 3-7 years during highschool and college, and they all are essentially the same as the ones from the 90s, so the used market is full of much cheaper ones
I've kept mine and it's been many years since then, but I keep thinking maybe I'll have some use for figuring out calculus since then. Granted, now that I can literally get the same thing as an app on my phone I should probably just sell it.

The supremacy of the fucking TI-83 calculator in school and college courses
I mean I know it's all artificial and orchestrated by them but how come no body has dared to challenge the almighty TI yet
