    Calculator Fun
AI Thread Summary
TI calculators, including models like the TI-82, 83, 86, and 89, offer capabilities beyond basic mathematics. Users can engage in robotics, data collection, and game development using TI-Basic or assembly languages, depending on the model. Resources like ticalc.org provide tutorials, games, and programming support for enthusiasts. While some users enjoy creating applications in TI-Basic, others find the language cumbersome and prefer using C for programming. The potential for building robots with these calculators is highlighted as an exciting opportunity for users to explore.

If you own any type of TI calculator (82, 83, 83+, 86, 89, 92, etc.), you may not know that it can do a lot more than math! You can build a robot (http://smallrobot.com), collect data like distance, velocity and acceleration (http://www.eaiusa.com/mo__texas__instruments__calculators__CBL-CBR.htm ) or make cool games in TI-Basic or assembly (Motorola 68K or Z80--depending on your device.)

I started on http://ticalc.org, so if you find this message interesting, you may want to check it out. They have games, programming and hardware tutorials, and news.

So, any other calcaholics out there?

I used to have some fun making games and other apps in ti-basic. It was fun but the language was absolutily horrible. I'll stick to C, thank you very much. Although, i didn't know i could make it into a robot. I'm going to have to check that out.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
I came across a video regarding the use of AI/ML to work through complex datasets to determine complicated protein structures. It is a promising and beneficial use of AI/ML.
