Texas Instruments removed support for C-based and Assembly based programms.
The latest firmware for both the TI-84 Plus CE and the TI-83 Premium CE, its French sibling removed the ability to run program written in ASM or C on any CE operating on the newest TI OS 5.5.1 or higher.
A video surfaced online where a teacher and his student showed the exact steps to bypass a Test Mode restriction in OS 5.2.2, an obsolete, 3 year old OS.
Texas Instruments decided they'd need to take some drastic measures to uphold their Exam Mode security reputation.
“After careful consideration,” the company states, “we made the decision to remove [the programming] functionality in our latest operating system update to prioritize learning and minimize security risks.”
This caused an uproar in the coding scene. They now try to give Texas Instruments enough negative backlash to consider negotiating better terms with the community.
“As a hobbyist this is extremely disappointing to hear and will only discourage learning. I for one would not have even gotten into C or gotten excited about it if it weren’t for programming on the CE.”
