    Idk, if there is one thing it does consistently well its standardized tests.

    Not that it can be used in any non mathematical class and if teachers do actually pay attention.

          Ah yup should’ve read the article lol. That’s a whole lot of work and effort into cheating, which probably won’t work? Needs a whole thing to it sounds like plug into the link port? Which would stick out… so like… idk MAYBE they are stupid and don’t notice but like… I wouldn’t bet my life on that.

            Because the phrase “Cheaters never prosper” isn’t actually true. There are many executives, politicians and rich people that very very likely “cheated” at some point along the way to get where they are, multiple times probably.

            Hell, I wouldn’t even be surprised if such phrases were spread by the rich/ruling class/whatever as just another thing to keep people divided lol

            There’s a video in the article showing the whole process. The new module was completely hidden inside the calculators case and soldered to the internal connections.

            Until you actually open it up, it doesn’t look abnormal at all.

              Ah, interesting. That’s quite a bit of work more than expected then lol. Link things at the top assumed it’d plug into that. Seems like a whole lot of work where if you’re into fixing shit and soldering and all that you probably don’t hate math much and thus… learning algebra 2 for a damn SAT wouldn’t be that hard?

              I suppose maybe the GRE or whatever? Idk what all that entails and if they allow these.
