#2somehow doesn't work on my Ubuntu Firefox 131.0.3 but works on my Arch 132.0.

#3IANAL, but the logo they're using looks infringingly similar to HP's.

#5Seems great. How does this compare to Free42? https://thomasokken.com/free42/

Well, it's based on the hp48 instead of the hp42, for one. Though that button layout is not that close to the 48, either.

#7Could this run on a TI or a NumWorks calculator?

#8Seems like a really nice effort.
Nice they crammed it into the DM42 machines.
But for me, the learning curve is steeper than the utility. I have no real need for an actual calculator, I rely on my phone. On there I have iHP48, and I've already gone through much of that learning curve to make it useful (back in the day with an original one).
If you already have the DM42, I guess its a mostly compatible upgrade from that, to make stepping into it easier.

Same. Love calculators and used to flirt with the idea of buying an old HP graphing but the app scratches that itch. Once you learn RPN it just feels so natural.
