Here's a little update about me personally and the folding team. 

Reading comprehension should be automatic reason to (dis)qualify. Also I'm surprised this is not to 10 pages yet.

Maybe we can arrange a consolation prize for being the first (afaik) to complain about it on the forums.

"When RIG REBOOT 2022?"

ARM Chromebooks have lacking if not nonexistent support for Linux, both chrx and Crouton.

(this applies to not only GalliumOS)
 
As far as I know, your only option is Crouton and even that seems unlikely.

Summary
For the past 10 years, TI has included an LED on their rechargeable calculators, similar to smartphones from yesteryear, which indicates when the calculator is charging or done charging without needing to turn it on. It's quite useful for teachers who have dozens of classroom calculators all charging in a dock. It allows them to quickly identify which calculator is done charging without turning on every single one until a charged on is found. It's also quite useful for troubleshooters, like me. For example, if the LED immediately turns green when the calculator is plugged in, that indicates there's something wrong with the battery and it needs to be replaced.


 
 
Unfortunately, it's speculated that in the name of saving a few cents per unit and maximizing profit on the TI-84 Plus CE Python, Texas Instruments has released a new hardware revision (revision T) which does not include this useful LED.

 
My thoughts
This isn't nearly as bad as when TI senselessly removed Assembly programming back in May of 2020. However, it's still a shame this $150 calculator doesn't even have a convenient LED anymore.
 
As someone who has to diagnose and repair calculator software and hardware issues several times a week, this will make my job more difficult. If someone's calculator doesn't turn on, I'll have no idea if it's a simple battery issue or something more serious. I'll be forced to recommend a battery replacement even though I could be wasting someone's time and money. Sadly, TI doesn't really care about my opinions, but they do care about teacher's opinions. I'm curious to see if teachers will push back against this change and if they do, will TI reverse it?
EDIT: TI has confirmed that they will not be removing the charging LED on School Property (classroom sets) calculators. So teachers can still tell which calculators are charged in charging stations. This means it's highly unlikely non-school property calculators will ever get the LED back.
 
Here's a fun tidbit: If you want to know what hardware revision a calculator is, just look for the date code on the back. In engraved text, you'll see something like L-0519M. The last letter (M) is the hardware revision. Calculators with hardware revisions earlier than T will have a charging LED. hardware revision T and later will not have one.

I've been getting a lot more since starting as a consultant. Jesus, people are IT illiterate 😞

It's insane to me that this thing is still going 😄

Eh, sat down and think about stuffs
 
I literally went from cheerful to depressed in like months, but I just have to convince myself I'm not miserable and I'm doing great, because I've been doing the opposite for a while and it's really bad
 
Might have slight depression(?) But at least I'm aware of it, so I can take actions to better myself
 
Y'all take care of y'all mental health
And physical health too

Only problem I see with this statement is that most people do not see or use the First Amendment properly. Its not a protection of private companies not being able to ban who they want when they want for any reason they want... Twitter, Facebook, you name it, they are well within there rights to ban whoever they want, how they want, when they want and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. 
 
The First Amendment is designed to protect YOU from any sort of harassment, backlash or other forms of punishment from the Government for speaking out against them. 
 
This is a thing that a ton of people don't get or don't understand correctly.

(I cant find the ful res version @Eschew made😭 )

My wife has been struggling with anxiety, depression, and bipolar for many years. She has managed with some semblance of normalcy, but it's always had her close to a tipping point. Back in December, a coworker she was very close with shot herself in the head on a team meeting because her mother's boyfriend was raping her and she was pregnant. My wife has slowly spiraled down into a point where she cannot leave the house or go to work because being around people gives her severe PTSD. It has gotten to the point where certain thoughts have raced through her mind and she has come to accept she needs the help. So tomorrow I am flying with her down to Florida for an inpatient treatment facility where she will put a lot of work on her trauma/PTSD, and also gain a lot of tools to help manage the rest of her anxiety and other things I haven't mentioned for her sake. I don't say this because I want to involve anyone in the deepest depths of our emotional struggles or get pity from anyone. I say this because as the husband going through all this with her, I feel completely inadequate. I could never in a million years even begin to contemplate some of the certain kinds of thoughts she has had. My mind simply isn't capable of them. All to say that as much good intention as I have and can give, I have to give her up for a while because I simply cannot help her. Even if I had the tools necessary, I'm her husband, not her father or doctor. I don't hold the same authority to her that she needs guiding her through this.

So if you are experiencing anything, I mean ANYTHING (and I'm sure we all are in some way), please seek help. If you don't have the self respect or self love to want to take care of yourself and get better for yourself, do it for your loved ones. I can't imagine what she is going through, but she can't imagine the absolute HELL I'm in right now concerned literally for her life, scared to go to work and leave her alone, worried I may have to explain to my 5 wonderful sobbing children why they will never be able to hug their mother again. You are worth living, you are worth loving and enjoying life, but if you can't believe that, at least believe that others love you and are breaking apart watching you hurt. We as a society need to break down the stigma that only crazy people talk to therapists. Maybe you're like me and have no severe anxiety, but you're struggling with various things happening around you that affect you emotionally. Talk to a therapist and get an outside perspective. If nothing else find a safe space and a safe person you can vent to. Maybe you're part of a good church and you can talk to the pastor one Sunday after service. Maybe you've got that one friend that will be straight with you, never judge you and only support. Whatever it looks like for you, I want everyone to know how quickly a glass can tip over and spill when it's been filling for years. It only takes that one final drop to spill everything and once it's gone, it could be gone forever. That's something no one should have to go through, and it cycles. The coworker's trauma became my wife's trauma, and my wife's trauma is leaving what I imagine will be a permanent scar of worrying every time she feels a bit down one day. And I'm 100% sure my kids will carry a lot of this stress with them their whole lives, wondering if that time they misbehaved got mommy mad enough that she wanted to die. I feel I'm rambling but my mind is a bit scrambled right now. To sum it all, I'm going thru it hard and I want anyone who will see this to prevent yourself from going thru the same. I want to remind everyone that there is no shame getting help, and especially after a global pandemic has caused mental issues to soar with anxiety, quarantine, loss, and many other things. You may feel like your 1 problem bugging you is just a pesky little bug, but you might be in a swarm and not realize it because you've ignored every other bug that's joined you over the years. Start looking at your bugs, talking with someone, anyone. Start swatting those flies one by one so you never get to the point where you can't see through them to get up, walk, be present with your family, or just enjoy life.

Hm.
Might want to see your family doctor, if you're showing symptoms of hypernatremia.

This thread is now Movie Recommendations On The Forum. Recommend me a good movie that's on Netflix or Prime that I haven't seen before. Also behave for 2 hours so I can enjoy it.

It's pretty common, people use wrong terms all the time. My sister calls the USB cable she use for charging her phone "the charger" ... when she asked me for a charger, I gave her exactly that ; a wallplug with a USB port, she legit thought I was trolling her.
 
TV shows and movies don't help either ...
 
"we got his hard rive"
*pulls PSU out of bag*
 
NCIS "counter-hacking" ;
... because apparently 4 hands on a keyboard is better ?
 
NCIS (again) ... apparently viruses can use power cords to hack other computers ...
 

Still locked aye?

My children: Dad! theres a spider in the kitchen!!! [loud shrill screaming ensues]
My Wife: <insert my name> come here, I am not going near that thing.

I would unlock it, but unlocking a thread requires more effort than unlocking this gun safe.
