    Press both simultaneously, while twisting the joystick in a “C” motion, to launch a fireball.

        There sure is a lot of overlap with people criticizing the technical interface of a calculator and nerds, wonder why that is? Oh well glad I’m not one of those nerds, now back to the clear button being so obtuse.

    I am using and loving Solve by Pomegranate Apps. Multiple workspaces and advanced functions available a swipe away. It doesn’t seem to be available anymore, and it looked like the company was hitting hard times when they dumped things like Trump quotes and other shit apps into the store. So, apprehensive to recommend because of weirdness but best calculator ever.

    Edit: down arrows barely meant anything on Reddit and they mean literally nothing here. Fuck you and your annoying orange. Peace out, hugs and kisses.

      Mate, you can just put your finger over the solar panel until it slowly gets strangled

      I discovered that hitting something like C, CE and 0 simultaneously for some reason worked as an instant power off for my school calculator. Do calculators have such hidden off-buttons? Because I have discovered other calculators with other combinations.

    CE is Clear Entry. If you want to hit 2 x 4, but accidentally press 2 x 44, you can press the CE button before pressing = to clear the 44 but not the “2 x” part.

    C will clear all of it so you can start over at the beginning.

    Pressing CE twice may or may not clear entries in reverse order, depending on you calculator model.

      Problem is on some calculators C is clear all and CE is clear entry, on some C is clear entry and AC is clear all, and some have a C/AC or CE/C button where it’s press once to clear entry and press twice to clear all.

      So it’s safest to mash unless you really know your calculator, because the industry can’t get its shit together, and that’s the sole reason it died (I’m assuming.)

        Thanks I was looking at the answer and thinking it didn’t fit my memory. i’m sure most of mine were ACs. TBF with things like VPAM coming in the late 90s, you did have backspace and all sorts of stuff like that.

        I still remember doing linear regression in a stats exam on i think a casio fx-115W something like that . Excellent calculator - but just no, it was time for some things to be on a real computer.

      You mean CE doesnt stand for “clear everything”? And here I thought more letters meant more clearing.

      And it all depends on the calculator. The one right next to me only has a CE button and it acts as a C button. So not even the people making them know what they do sometimes.

      Shit. I thought it was clear and clear everything. I guess this is why I also push both buttons rapidly and make sure to just retype everything

    I just noticed I don’t have a hardware calculator…

    And the software one I remember about is translated.

    I do it a bunch of times for the same reason I also CTRL+C a bunch of times when I need to copy on windows.
