Well the texas instruments ti-84 calculator is my favorite toy. I use it for anything I can from getting a girl to put her phone number in my calculator to programming.

Is there a way to somehow add an external circuit that can make the ti-84 send text messages. I bet there would have to be a sexy external antenna and some pretty advance electronics but has it ever been done?

Another possibility is using the ti-84 to send emails. Is there some sort of external circuit that would be able to send emails by using the ti-84 as the interface?
Appreciate replies

Why don't you just buy an old android phone instead of re-purposing a calculator to do things it wasn't meant to?
Was not a very thoughtful question. I am sorry for dishonoring you.
 
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...
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
