TI Calculator DRM Defeated

josath writes "Texas Instruments' flagship calculator, the Nspire, was hacked to allow user-written programs earlier this year. Earlier this month, TI released an update to the OS that runs on the calculator, providing no new features, but only blocking the previous hack. Now, just a few weeks later, Nleash has been released, which defeats this protection. The battle rages on as users fight for the right to run their own software on their own hardware."

The be all and end all reason that TI want's to prevent people from installing software on these calc's is the modern education system.

The solution is actually quite simple. Issue a standard calculator (most likely a fairly basic model) with the test paper.
