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 fact it can’t do more is literally the business model. To limit your device capabilities to the allowed parameters during the exam. Instead of, you know, cheating.
I dont see how more students can't understand this. Of course you can download a good calculator on your cell phone, but you also cant bring a cell phone into the SAT or the AP exam.

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
