      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.

          It’s not a WiFi model, a custom module was hidden inside the calculator to provide the WiFi connection.

            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.

          “C’s get degrees, and here’s the tease: no one’s asking for transcripts, just expertise.”

                My senior dev was asked for his transcript and he’s been in the field for 25+years. He told them to get in touch with his college that doesn’t exist anymore. Suspect it’s a standard set of forms they need to fill.
