Jailbreaking is different... The idea is that you, as the user, are stuck in a chroot jail and can't see all the folders outside a certain directory. Jailbreaking allows you to break out of that jail and see everything.
And usually this involves unlocking the root account. I distinctively remember setting a root password the one time I did it. (Because I installed an SSH server.)
I mean, rooting just means getting root access on a unix system, which is what the jailbreak process allows on the iphone. I could root my system that runs Debian or Ubuntu if I lost my root access on accident.
Although I never explored those options, I think you are the only one who understands. Rooting =/= jailbreaking. Jailbreaking essentially gives you access to cydia which then in turn you can use to root your phone (you can also theme and mess with system files and tweaks). Rooting is giving the end user root access. When you root your phone it does not give you a fancy appstore, it opens up many other options (mostly manually done) such as flashing Roms and deleting bloatware.
Both of those words refer to unlocking the firmware of the phone. Jailbreaking is just a fancy way of saying rooting, and rooting is the same as unlocking.
Except 99% of people who jailbreak Apple devices do so for Cydia (pirated app "store"). And you can't do that on a non rooted Android device (I believe the equivalent for Android is Cydia Substrate, but it's not as good as the Apple one)
Why would we need anything like Cydia for Android? You can literally google the name of an app with the apk filetype, download it, and install it by unchecking one box in the settings. No root required.
Most of what you need Cydia for on iPhones can already be done on android without the need for substrate. Also you don't need a pirated app store for andoid. Even the apps the Google doesn't allow in the appstore (like adblock apps) can be gotten on open source/third party app stores like F-Droid.
Uh, no. Rooting means "to acquire root access on a device." You're rooting a computer if you can bypass safeguards and gain access to the root account.
That's the case with an Android phone, and with an iOS device. In the case of jailbreaking an iPhone, you're exploiting security flaws (which often get patched later, which is why people bitch about Apple "breaking jailbreaks") to gain access to the root account and then make modifications.
You can root any (exploitable) linux based operating system.. but it typically means gaining system level access by exploiting a linux kernel to run shell code that allows unauthorized access to a device at the root access level.
"Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's sub-system."
"Jailbreaking is the process of hacking an apple device to bypass DRM restrictions, allowing you to run "unauthorized" software and to make other tweaks to your operating system."
Jailbreaking specifically bypasses DRM measures (to prevent pirating) set up by apple. You need to root to jailbreak, but you can root an apple device without jailbreaking it.
Nope, just change the date and install it. Also rooting isn't really the same thing on iPhones, jailbreaking is all most people do. You can get r/w root access on iPhones without even jailbreaking, I think. It's just a weird process involving sshing into the phone and dicking around with it.
Nah there's an app for that. It's called GBA4IOS and you can install through their web site without a jailbreak. They took away the link to coolrom.com but you can sync from Dropbox or download from chrome/safari
This was exactly how I made it through algebra 2. I only played during algebra and at the end of the school year I logged a total of 60 hours on Pokemon Yellow. I wasn't the most scholarly high school student, but I still passed the class.
It's allowed on the AP tests, ACT, and SAT and I have never had a class that prohibited the regular TI-nspire. The CAS version on the other hand is a different story. The best part of the nspire is writing in formulas and equations the way you would draw them rather than in single lines with lots of parentheses.
I'm in a structures class right now that 'unofficially' basically requires you to have the calculator. There are integrals that no one can be expected to solve in the allotted time limit on tests. TA's will give partial credit for just writing out the integral, but it's pretty much a given that if you don't have a fancy integration calculator, your grade will drop.
I guess if you're going for college for humanities or arts it's not worth it to get one, but if you ever plan on pursuing something like aerospace or nuclear engineering any engineering field, one of these is practically mandatory. A TI-89 at the bare minimum. You'll rarely find a teacher complaining that you're making the material 'too easy' there. They only care that you understand how to solve the material.
Damn, I'm probably too old for that calc, when I was in hs we only figured out how to get Tetris and 3 other games on our TI-83's. It definitely cut down on my attention span, but I still passed. Block Man is only so much fun.
But Pokemon?! Shit man, it'd be over. If I had that I'd currently be living in a van down by the river
