Ultimately, it does not matter. This legal notice is just theater, as anyone from CA or CO can still download, build and use the program. Linux distributions will just do the same.
- goda90 8mo agoYou might say the bills themselves are theater. Respond to theater with theater.
- c3d 8mo agoExactly
- parasense 8mo agoCertainly. However, The developer seems to want to avoid the $2,500 per violation by any child who accesses the calculator, and might see a dick pic... because that calculator firmware does indeed allow for image viewing, and application development. It's more powerful than your PC back in the late 1990s.
- chungy 8mo ago> It's more powerful than your PC back in the late 1990s. Sounds like a fun thought, but almost certainly untrue: https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm42 https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm42 All new PCs sold in the late 1990s handedly beat these specifications. On CPU, storage, RAM, and display. The DM42 firmly remains an embedded system that's just enough for the calculator software and not much more. If you want to take it back to the early 1980s, you start reaching the claim being true.
- benj111 8mo agoTrue. I can see 58008 on mine....
- rockskon 8mo agoOr, heaven forbid, 8008135. Can't allow that!
- theodric 8mo agoI had a program on my overclocked TI-83 in 1998 that displayed a single pseudo-greyscale dithered photograph of a topless Pamela Anderson, which has left me hopelessly psychologically scarred. Ban this filth
- outerpasta 8mo agoIs this sarcasm? I hope so.
- hagbard_c 8mo agoWell, no, that's not how laws like this work. Of course people in these states can just install the software and it is very likely nothing more will come from that unless some politico in one of these states decides she has a beef against the company, group or person which distributes the software. When that happens she'll have this law at hand to whack them with because the knowingly violated state law so they need to be dealt with, won't anyone think of the children?.
- pixl97 8mo agoI'd also put notice in the usage that the offices of the representatives of the politicians that voted for this law they are not allowed to use the software as a historical wall of shame.
