• Ti84 Plus CE glitch

  My go-to recommendation for an RPN calculator is Free42 (https://thomasokken.com/free42/). It's available for Android, IOS, Mac, Windows, Linux. So you can use the same calculator everywhere. It emulates the real HP-42S calculator very closely, so if you happen to own a real HP-42S, you can switch back and forth without friction. If you don't want to pay the extortion prices for a used HP-42S on eBay, you can pick... Source: 5 months ago

• Casio fx-CG50 calculator comes with Python built-in

  HP15C is amazing but so is the HP42 and HP35S, with the 42 in particular considered by some people to be the best scientific calculator ever made. I have an HP35S which is great. I also have a swiss micros DM42[1] which is an absolutely fantastic calculator based on the Free42[2] opensource emulator. It's much more powerful than the HP42 while remaining 100% compatible.

Market is $150-200. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: All desktop calculators are wrong, so I had to build my own

  Have you seen Free42, "...a re-implementation of the HP-42S Scientific Programmable Calculator and HP-82240 Printer?" [0] It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. (At one point there was even a version available on Windows Phone 8.) Perhaps it checks your boxes of good RPN calculator, available on all platforms. I don't know how much an HP-42S feels like a 41C. In any event, thank you for ralc.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
