I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "typical calculator." If you mean it isn't a simple arithmetic calculator, you're right. But this is the same kind of calculator I used all throughout high school. The only unique thing about it is that you can use a rudimentary form of basic programming on it, using a programming language that is specific to the calculator. Having written basic programs for it, I find it extremely amazing a PS3 was jailbroken with it.\

Its not written in basic. Its a flash app.

Its written in assembly language.

Its a regular ti-84+ calculator. No modifications.

(Pretty damn sure its impossible to interface with usb from basic.)

Its funny because you can jailbreak a PS3 with just about anything now.

You're not reading my post correctly. "Basic" is a description of the type of programs (as you can't get too complicated with them), not the language (although a variation of BASIC is utilized on TI-84 Pluses, and I suppose the use of "basic" in my last sentence could have a dual meaning in that regard). It's surprising regardless of whether or not it was written in BASIC or Assembly.

So, a USB drive, a phone, and a calculator. Yup, definitely has been jailbroken with anything now! :rofl:

The only devices I've seen are a USB drive, a phone, and a calculator. Am I missing something?

The calculator is the only unique device to me, because it generally doesn't hold the same kind of data you'll see found on a computer/phone, as it's almost never compatible (and, thus, never able to be uploaded). Is that not unique?

No, not really.

There's progress being made on the DS3, PSP, Gp2x Wiz and even the TomTom One.

Dingoo has already been completed.

Basically anything with a USB port & flashable USB memory is capable (within reason).

I'm failing to see why its important that its a calculator... It's a pretty damn advanced calculator to be fair but all its doing is injecting a package

Exactly, as Munky says, anything that can output via USB is most likely going to be capable of this if they can flash the hack to the product.

So much for the magical USB device that enables you to play backups on PS3, oh wait............

Just because its not here doesnt mean its not real, you dont have to be an arse about it.

Excuse me but what crawled up your ass over my frustration at the Spanish (?) website that reported this news? blink.gif Chill pill dude.

Its gone all quiet on the hack front as i thought it would do once new firmwares start to come out, unless they find an exploit in the dissasembled firmware they have then this hack is dead in the water.

Apparently the exploit was introduced in FW 2.01, and runs right up to 3.41.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod. Acer 4K Webcam for PC/Mac with All-Metal Unibody Sculpted - $59.99 | 14% off Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      By PWazzle · Posted

      Stop reporting AR glasses as an X inch screen, Y distance away. That is a horseshit meaningless spec. Report on the actual FOV angle. That's all that matters. And for the record, this FOV is ~49degrees. So we're talking about HoloLens level FOV... i.e. it's like looking through a piece of paper at arm's length.

      I bought a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro for $250 brand new during Black Friday, to give some comparison. Things are getting absolutely ridiculous.
