Students are finding new ways to make life easier on themselves without getting caught, and the latest comes in the form of a seemingly normal Casio fx-991MS calculator. At first glance, this would not make anyone look twice, but upon closer inspection, you’ll realize that the small solar cells have been replaced with a 128×32 OLED and an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. The result? An internet-connected cheating device.
There’s also a stealthy user interface that can be controlled with magnets rather than physical buttons. What can this calculator do now? How about fetch pre-uploaded data from the mobile development platform Firebase, whether it formulas for a science test or just about anything that you would need to memorize. Yes, you can use magnets hidden in a pen cap to control the interface rather than having to push any buttons.
