In a recent firmware update to the TI-84 Plus CE, TI-83 Plus CE-T, and the TI-83 Premium CE calculators, Texas Instruments removed Assembly and C programming for there calculators. This was because of some exam mode disabler program someone made, however you could just patch the bug.

Now you are probably wondering what this is. Basically some people (myself included) use these calculator models to run apps and programs. Apps and programs run off of a thing called a programing language or as you may know it to be called as "code". There were 4 different programing languages for these models (Assembly, C, Python, and TI-Basic). But as of recently Texas Instruments removed Assembly and C. Which me and other hobbyist programmers are furious over. That is what this petition is trying to get back. 

You may think "Well, Why not just use TI-Basic or Python, of which these calculators support?". TI-Basic is slow and any rendering is put into this tiny little window where you can barely see what is going on. Python doesn't have the window problem but makes up for it with being extraordinarily slower than basic.

I understand that this was removed because of a cheating application someone made, but you should just patch it. If you can't patch it then find something else. Here are a few Ideas: Developer or non-education versions of the future OS updates. Revise the models or hard-mod current ones to avoid this problem, send educators a notice, and replace/fix calculators. You could also just have a license agreement for each new OS saying you will not create applications that will be used for cheating, and certainly no distributing that software.
