What's the best replacement for this piece of shit?
bc
Why you wanna replace senpai?

http://winaero.com/blog/get-calculator-from-windows-8-and-windows-7-in-windows-10/
use the internet or switch the calculator mode from standard
>>53716455
Node.js repl
>>53716455
Why replace it? It works as the old one did, surprisingly.
Octave, SciPy, whatever.
>>53716519
It takes like 3 seconds to start up even on an ssd

>>53716455
Wox.
Why is Windows font rendering so terrible?
>>53716538
Not only that, it's an "app" that needs to be updated through the "Windows Store".
Seriously MS? Updating the fucking calculator?
>>53716538
Weird, it opens instantly for me.
octave-cli
>>53716538
Oh god, those three seconds could have gotten you to orgasm twice! Suck it up, not everything's perfect because you wasted $3000 on a gayming build.
>>53716538
No it doesn't, it opens up instantly.
>>53716596
jesus christ what a loser
>>53716594
Either use real matlab so you have functions or use R
>>53716559
love this site, but they should add a better way for the input, its sometimes annoying
>>53716570
Wox is love
>>53716690
Is it 2005 again?
>>53716695
There really isnt a more efficient launcher than Alfred-style
>>53716538
Lol it instantly on my dv8p
>>53716714
There is a way for efficient and modern format for sharing animations on 4chan however.
*opens
>>53716729
CBA making a webm, i just got the default gif from the repo.
>>53716455
get a real calculator senpai
especially this one
RPN is great
You can't even copy the output.
>>53716538
something is fucked on your side because it opens in less than a second for me
>>53716794
?
>>53716980
I'm talking about the pre Windows 10 calculator, plus that shit has to implement custom touchscreen like right click menu.
>>53716538
Surprise surprise, OPs issue is some major underlying one but he wants to replace a perfectly working program because it's a symptom of it.
>>53716794
Ctrl+C at any time copies what's currently displayed you retard.
>>53716455
not a windows user myself but:

>>53716679
is it just me or does wolfram alpha always take fucking ages to load?
>>53716538
You need another video card makesure you can sli/crossfire it
>>53716455
<-
>>53716690
Thanks for that i'll definitely try it
>>53716695
>Is it 2005 again?
I've never used wox but i use synapse on xubuntu and krunner on plasma 5 and they're very nice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZhHv8zlSwg
The virgilio theme for synapse is my favorite.
>>53717135
This. Speedcrunch is good. The only downside is that you can't input complex numbers.
>>53716455
Mathematica, MATLAB, or Python with numpy/scipy.
I'm using OS X, so for simple calculations I always use Spotlight (which is a fucking great feature, as simple as it may be, even though it has a bug with long inputs since 10.11. Thanks Apple)
>>53716575
>>53716596
>>53716614
>>53716724
>>53716796
if it takes more time than the actual animation (w/o animations it should open instantly) it's just wasting your time
>>53716455
I hated the windows 10 calc too.
I found this: www.winaero.com
>>53716455
xcalc is the only answer
>>53717291
>The only downside is that you can't input complex numbers.
It think it has that but i've never used it:
https://bitbucket.org/heldercorreia/speedcrunch/pull-requests/18/complex-units-more-v-2/diff
As a replacement for the windows calculator even without that it's pretty good i think.
>>53716455
WabbitEMU to emulate a Ti-84 or whatever other TI you need
Wolfram Alpha for anything else
>>53717358
The amount of time it takes the W7 one to fade in takes the same amount of W10 one to finish the animation, so it's literally the same thing.
>>53717534
You have a splashscreen after that animation on Windows 10 which takes like a second whether you disable animations or not.
Get a casio emulator or an actual casio. Done.
This.
>>53716455
wolfram alpha
wxMaxima on android
or just like any scientific calculator
I really wonder, is there any kind of usable command line calculator that lets me predefine variables? The thing is, I often have to use physical constants in short calculations like c, hbar and whatever.
>>53717938
Speedcrunch has a constant library, and apparently >>53717472 it even associates units to them.
>>53716469
Qalculate
>Windows 10
>Win+R, "calc", enter
>Doesn't work
FUCKING MICROSOFT
>>53717938
I don't know what you're doing but I put all my common calculations in Excel
>>53718107
It has a loading screen?
>>53718645
Basically the only app on my computer that has a loading screen, it triggers the fuck out of my autism
>>53718201
Which works great, if you already have Excel open.
>>53716455
You know it has another mode. Change the mode to programmer or something.
>>53718697
How is opening Excel different than opening l33tcalc.exe?
>>53716455
replace it by installing another operating system
>>53716466
first post best post
>>53718742
It's a much bigger program. Calculators are expected to be lightweight.
an actual ti-89 on your desk
>>53718201
You guys crack me up sometimes.
>>53719075
I see your point but I disagree. if you're looking for integration of custom variables and multi-part equations you're going to be pretty limited, maybe one exists, I am not aware of it. Unless you emulate a TI-89 or use Excel which would be the most straightforward, but admittedly not lightweight. In my opinion, backing up and .xlsx file where you imput a few parameters and can output virtually unlimited number of output values including intermediate calculations visually will be more simple than importing/exporting a configuration file for your calculator program where you have to input single line formulae and then take the output from one calculation and use it as input on the next one. If you do find what you're looking for, make sure you share it though.
>>53716455
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB
>>53718107
This split second bothers you? lmao what
>>53719102
>ti-89
>not the superior voyage 200
>>53719344
It bothers me because it's only there to load the disgusting flat interface, it bothers me because it's not needed and yet they put it in there anyways
>>53717254
Did they remove this in Win10? It was pretty good.
Ti 89
TI-89 emulator
>>53719496
Yes it's gone.
>>53719496
>>53719566
Yes, mostly. Win10 Enterprise LTSB has it, though.
>Autists complaining that a calculator shows a picture of a calculator for less than half a second
You spergs will complain about anything
>>53719639
>I can't name a single reason why they had to change it so I'll just call them an autist
>>53719664
They changed it to keep it consistent with the rest of the os you dumbshit
>>53719580
>>53719566
Why? It was a popular, simple program that really had no glaring faults and did well what the user expected it to do. There was no reason to remove it.
>>53719695
Microsoft needs to push their "universal Windows apps" agenda, that's why.
>>53719695
They want to replace everything with UWP versions
In a year or so, they'll finish migrating all of the settings from the control panel over to the settings app and get rid of the control panel
>>53719639
While I can get over that personally, I hate it with all my heart because it pops up every once in a while asking you to review it in the Windows store. The operating system built in fucking calculator nags you to review it. It's a joke.
>>53719693
oh rly
>>53719767
Okay yes that is bullshit. They need to change that
But I think it only happens once. I've only ever had it happen once
>>53719786
They better not touch my precious Windows Media Player.
PowerToy Calculator is the best simple calculator and has all the stuff you wish the default crap would have.
>>53717206
Consider what it's doing and why it would take fucking ages to load. WA is overkill for basic number crunching.
>>53719786
>Let me hand pick the few apps that haven't been replaced yet
Retard
>>53719955
I didn't hand pick shit, i fucking uninstalled literally all of that fucking garbage. I posted the most important and critical apps that nobody would ever uninstall.
>>53716455
>>53720002
>Paint
>WMP
>Fucking notepad
>Critical
All of those have better alternatives

Compared to the literal bloatware that you posted
>>53720071

>WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH BLOATWARE
Fuck off
>>53720105
Those "apps" are literal cancer.

>>53720126
Apps = Applications = Programs
They are all the same shit with different UI, get with the times.
>>53720148
>STOP TRIGGERING ME
Eat my asshole
>>53720155
"get with the times" = submit to Microsoft's wet dream of controlling what you can and cannot install on your computer by making a walled garden with the "Windows Store"? No thanks.
>>53716455
There is a "cracked" version of the old one that you can install in Windows 10
>>53720204
Why would you need to crack it? Can you not just copy over the exe?
>>53716614
For a calc app, and compared to the old program, it's slow as fuck opening.
Probably since it needs to contact some MS server like all the Window Store apps.
>>53720155
Looks like someone doesn't read the ToS for "Apps"
>>53720245
I don't know but this
>>53716478
>http://winaero.com/blog/get-calculator-from-windows-8-and-windows-7-in-windows-10/
is it.
It opens as fast as it should and doesn't spy on you like other Windows Store "Apps"
>>53720155
You're not going to trick me in to calling something that I cannot install or uninstall at will, a program. It's an "App", it's the bastardization of an application. For these "Apps" you need a powershell to uninstall and a full system restore to install.
>>53720316
But you can install them from store whenever you want.
>>53718670
>it triggers the fuck out of my autism
Hahaha, typical /g/
Gentoo
>>53720338
Store App*
>>53720338
Who controls the Store?
>>53720316
No you don't
Programs like ccleaner can uninstall system apps and you can reinstall them from the store
>>53717747
Try 2^1024 faggot.
>>53719949
Just keep mathematica running in the background.
>>53716455
a real calculator
>>53716455
Why would you even need to?
The only thing this calculator doesn't do that the original did, was make it possible to edit calculations in your history (because it is sometimes faster and easier to type in a parsed statement than to finagle with the buttons)
>>53719411
>literally the worst smartphone that's ever been made

Why do you need to explicitly use a function just to concatenate strings?

>>53721655
where r the buttons :(
>>53716455
Dumb wincucks lol
>>53719466
Maybe blink every time you open calculator?
>>53716679
it takes most latex math mode input
>>53721925
>That unnecessary space for a terminal
Get a TI-84 faggot
Calctape is pretty cool, check it out.
>>53716455
Pic related.
>>53716759
this desu senpai
a real calculator is infinitely more comfy and useful than anything on your pc
