TI Assembly removal.

I know this is kind of old, but eh, whatever.
In may 2020, Texas Instruments announced the removal of Assembly language programming from the popular (and new) eZ80 series of calculators. This came after the release of a video on youtube demonstrating how to bypass the test mode on a TI-84 Plus CE running OS 5.2. This is absolute BS for a number of reasons. The community has actively worked to prevent cheating, and every major site has regulations in place to prevent such programs from being posted. Second, the "exploit" had nothing to do with assembly. Third, the other languages are a joke. As Patrick Davidson pointed out during the ill fated (and IMHO stupid) BASMIC campaign in the late 90's, TI-BASIC is around 2100 times slower than assembly. The Python on the 83pce is also a joke. You get less than 16KB of heap space. A C program for the TI-89 (introduced in the 90's) gets 16kb stack.
