Title: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: critor on January 03, 2012, 01:32:12 pm
Remember the TI-84 Pocket.fr (http://ourl.ca/9380) which was a smaller version of the basic TI-84 Plus with french keys?
It was also including a 1.03 Boot Code with a 2048-bits RSA validation which needed an additional 6-7 minutes to install an OS and did refuse any 2.53MP or older OS, until Brandon made it possible to modify/reflash the Boot Code.


TI-Asia is launching today the TI-84 Plus Pocket SE, yes a smaller version of the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition this time!

Which means it has 1.5MB archive memory (2MB Flash ROM) instead of 480KB (1MB Flash ROM) on the TI-84 Pocket.fr model.

(http://i43.servimg.com/u/f43/13/23/13/53/ti84pl10.jpg)


As the keys are in english this time, it might be released in other countries.

great, but to be honest, i don't really see the pocket in it? or is that me being tired?
but it looks good, very good.. does it have the same hardware as the normal SE? i mean like processor and stuff

Pocket refers to the size. It is a mini version of the original :)

i know xeda, but i what i was saying is that it doesn't look that much smaller than a normal 84+ SE
i know that there well be no pocket delivered with it if that's what you thought i was saying xp

Please, this is an international Omnimaga news.
Post off-topic things in another topic.

Let's go back on topic.

Back in 2011 when the 84 Pocket.Fr was announced, Critor put it side by side with a TI-80 and a 84+ and it was the same size as a 80, so this is where the pocket comes from.

I don't like the new design as much as the non-SE pocket, though :(, for some reasons. I think it's a bit too bland. (not enough colors) :/ I guess it's cool that it's smaller, though. I found the original 84+ to be a bit bulky/
Me piéger. Tu n'as pas des partiels à réviser levakounet ? Tu passes ton temps à venir pourrir mon site.
Je vous cite dans des news. Chez vous, vous préférez vous faire trouer que d'évoquer TI-BANK. TI-Planet et ses modos canalisent la haine.
First of all Mic:

1) This is an english forum. Speak english, not French, or at least post a translation of your posts.

2) Secondly you initially didn't cite TI-Planet in your news, until they complained. I remember a few months ago reading complains about that.

3) In half of the TI-BANK news, you used to constantly attack TI-Planet or its staff. Today you don't do it as much, but you still do: http://www.ti-bank.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=1413 and I quote:

Quote
Il y en a, en ce moment, qui testent (mal d'ailleurs) des périphériques pour TI-Nspire et bien, en entendant que TI-BANK le fasse correctement, voici un petit test complètement fun !
English translation:

"There are people, at the moment, who test (and are doing it wrong) TI-Nspire perhipherals, so, until TI-BANK does it right, here is a small and fun test!"

Basically it is saying that TI-Planet team sucks at testing new calculator perhipherals. It cannot mean anything else, because TI-Planet team are the only people besides yourself that actually do such tests in the TI community.

I never see anything in TI-Planet news that is bashing TI-BANK.

3) Critor, being close to TI and checking TI website everyday for news, most likely found about the calculator around the same time you did, if not before. Could be pure coincidence, so don't jump on false accusations towards him or TI-Planet. Same goes for your accusations about TI-Planet starting hate. Heck, maybe Critor knew about the Pocket SE for months but was not allowed to reveal it until today, after all. And there's nothing wrong with working for TI if it means that Lua language can be improved and that TI can be convinced harder to not block Ndless in future OSes.

Off-topic: Also I totally forgot AaroneusTheGreat was an ARS member O.O

Post by: AaroneusTheGreat on January 03, 2012, 03:08:56 pm
On topic please everyone! I understand the dilemma here, but it's over and done with now. Continuing to discuss it will only cause continued problems. Moving forward, we'll all try to do our part to not have problems like this, agreed?

In reference to the new calculator, is there an encryption at all on the OS like the encryption that was mentioned in the original post? If so do we know what it is?

Does anyone have the actual dimensions (in centimeters and inches please for those of us who use either or) of the model so we have reference to what the size difference with the new unit is?

Aaroneusthegreat note that the Omnimaga rules always disallowed censoring anyone, though. Also it might be best that you leave it to other moderators, since you haven't been around for a while and don't know what happened.

I had to rate down your post for disallowing us to defend ourselves against Mic attacks. Sorry.

And yeah I meant working with TI in terms of knowing some stuff in advance.
Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: AaroneusTheGreat on January 03, 2012, 03:16:47 pm
Oooh! We've got ourselves a man on the inside! How exciting! I wasn't aware of this. Too bad confidentiality agreements prevent him from releasing stuff to us sometimes. I bet his programs are amazing! I haven't really looked at any stuff he's written that I know of.

By the way, am I right in thinking that because this is an 84+ SE that it will support assembly natively? Do we know that kind of thing yet?

@DJ_O I wasn't planning on doing any censoring. More like locking from topics or banning if necessary, and I would have consulted a more senior admin before doing anything. Thanks for looking out though.

Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: Adriweb on January 03, 2012, 03:18:57 pm
Yep, having an NDA doesn't mean "working".

And as said before, if we were on TI's side and hypocritical as Mic constantly says in order to decrease our reputation, we wouldn't publish anything about Ndless or "hacks" for example.

To make it clear : We post on everything we can know and discover by ourselves as if we didn't have any NDA information.
So when we make news etc., we post the exact things the way anybody else could have done since we're only taking into account public information or self-discovered knowledge (or sometimes, things that TI allowed us to, which were private before).
Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 03, 2012, 03:19:47 pm
Actually I don,t think critor does programs for TI. It's more that they got to know some stuff in advance. For example about future Lua stuff, the Nspire stuff, and they even got to visit TI headquarter in Dallas, Texas once. They are under a non-disclosure agreement so they are not allowed to reveal anything, but that helps bridging the gap between the TI community and Texas Instruments in some ways.

The only thing I don't like about being on TI side is that TI-Planet has fewer pro-Casio Prizm-related news, but that's not too bad I guess, since there are already established Casio sites like Planète-Casio out there. :P
Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE

Most of the posts with fights and other unrelated information have been moved elsewhere.  Please keep on topic, and if there's a problem, discuss it privately and not in public on this news post.

I truly hope that this calculator comes to the US and Canada

Hmm Hot Dog did you leave them public, though? Else the problem is that members won't even see what Mic has done. You should post a link to them in case somebody is banned and people want to know why that they know.

Also I was writing a translation of the fight and was planning to post it in response to the appropriate discussion. Now this has gone to waste. :/
EDIT THanks for the link.

EDIT: The 83 Plus is no longer listed on the Asia website! O.O

Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 03, 2012, 10:04:56 pm
I wonder too, although I have some doubts. Considering TI is american and they didn't release the Pocket in USA yet, this most likely mean they have no intention to.
Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: TIfanx1999 on January 03, 2012, 10:08:44 pm
I agree. They probably don't think the demand exists for them here. I still have my fingers crossed though. =)
Title: Re: TI-84 Plus Pocket SE
Post by: Camdenmil on January 03, 2012, 10:09:21 pm
It'd be nice if this comes to the US although if I dedicate a whole pocket to a calculator I can fit my 84+SE in my pocket ;D

Maybe in this one TI added boot code 1.04 with 4096 bit encryption and and 8 hour validation time. I wonder if it's like the 84+ and 84+SE as far as being completely identical (even down to the circuit board) to the 84+Pocket except for the flash chip.

So next time we discover something, we'll have to include an even bigger watermark...

It's sad and doesn't help the TI community.
I hadn't been including any watermark in all my discoveries for more than 3 years, as I was simply fully trusting the community.

France doesn't get to have this calculator :P
Asia countries do however, for this model.

Anyway, the keyboard isn't localized with Chinese characters for example, so we might think of a Europe arrival at one point ... ?




Also, Mic from TI-Bank copied (stole...) the pic and indeed "photoshopped" our watermark out and put his logo instead. It almost doesn't surprise us.
It's even more ridiculous when we can easily see his fake is badly done :

(http://i.imgur.com/byOx1.jpg)

Also, this gets confirmed by the amount of red color in the TI-Bank logo area :

I am confused: Do you mean this new SE model is slower than the original SE's? ???

Also I thought Mic was banned and that the discussion about the whole TI-BANK vs TI-Planet thing was relocated there? http://ourl.ca/14721

Anyway post translation:

So we can't steal from each others? It's one-way only? You steal from me and that's all? I must have misunderstood...
You steal an image that is TI property just because you are in Nazi war against me. You are so ridiculous. So much fun to see you blow up for a poor mini calculator.
Anyone can ask TI for the pic and they get a copy.
So in summary, your life pretty much involves starting a war in the calculator world due to lack of an actual real life.

But you are right, what you just showed is as evident as the theft of my own news by TI-Planet (Plagerism-Planet actually). It's greatly more convincing than your stupidities from yesterday to make people believe you had exclusivity of the news.

Anyway vu que Mic est encore là, peux-tu aller ailleurs pour discuter de ça? Omnimaga n'est PAS TI-Planet ni TI-BANK. Ce topic n'as pas besoin d'être pollué pour ça.

I really wonder if it's really coming out in Asia only or not, considering the news on the other site and Espace-TI. If that's the case then I don't really understand why TI would decide to release an updated 84+SE design only in Asia and not even in the very country they're based in (USA), not to mention the regular 84 Pocket came out in France. I hope this doesn't mean they plan to discontinue the 84+SE model in other areas in the future or something like that...

The problem though is that if he's very experienced in programming and knows a lot about our discoveries, he might end up being forced to tell everything to them and not to us and then to help blocking Ndless or some other exploits we use. This is why while some people decided to sign the NDA, that there are others who will refuse to ever sign anything like that, regardless with who.

There was a TI employee (http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showuser=32683) who signed up at UnitedTI, but he apparently left after an issue with his account not being able to post :/ I've tried to PM him, but I don't think he's logged on since then.

I think the majority of people on omni don't know enough on ndless's inner workings to reveal such things anyways, since extended is fairly tight-lipped on exploit methods.

My uncle worked at TI before, but not in the education area. He did presentations on their microcontrollers and ARM processors in foreign countries.

These would be available in stores in China, correct?  Because my neighbor is in china right now... Maybe I can ask her to look out for it....

edit: i'd assume it'd be in chinese right?

All photos of the 84+ Pocket SE show that they have English keys, and handling Chinese + other asian languages in software takes a fair amount of memory, so I think that it's unlikely to have a UI in Chinese / other asian languages :)

maybe such an application like the 84+ had, which translated the ui into the language you wanted..

It's probably be a localization app if there is one, and not much further than that :P

I wouldn't mind having one of these, if it weren't for the lack of a slide case and the extra ram.

They might actually get slide case if people complain enough about them lacking them. TI did do this before.

Oh yeah. This thing NEEDS a slidecase.

To the point of changing the actual design, though?  Afaict the french version still doesn't have one.
Come to think of it they might not have to change the design, they could just have it not fit properly like on the 30xii, where you have to almost snap the thing off :P
Maybe they'll do a "screen cling" like they tried with the cx?

edit: missed the second part of the post...when did they do it before? 0.o

It started with the French version of the Nspire CX: http://ourl.ca/10036

Seems to me I can make my own clip-case with my vaccuum-forming table without too much effort. I'd be willing to sell them if there's tons of demand, but I'd need a Pocket SE

Thanks Z, I knew it was a fairly recent model, but I couldn't remember which one. :)

I could definitely see myself buying a Pocket SE. It'd be good to have another SE on hand if mine happens to break (I'm looking at you, 83+SE). Plus, having one more appropriately sized for my preferred method of carrying makes it even better.
