      Your wish is my command xD

      Yeah you nerd, you just sit back on your chair you didn’t leave for the past weeks and look at your weird nerdy calculators. Now you just need to go on your weird little website no one uses, what’s it called again? Lemmy? More like shitty, and talk to everyone about how your old calculators are way better than our iPhones, because our phones have processors in them and therefore can be manipulated by bitflips while your 300 pound calculator can’t be because its mechanical. Well, at least you have something that’s as heavy as you are, you fat nerd

    This seems to be a calculator for businesses.

    • Centre left: Rounding switch - Always round up / rounding off if the last digit is 0-4, rounding up if the digit is 5-9 / always round down (truncate)
    • Centre right: Decimal switch - switch between monetary values (A), fixed decimal point (number of digits to the right of the decimal that are shown) (02346), floating point mode (all digits) (F)
    • Right: Sigma switch - adds the results of the = or % key to the accumulator (useful when summing up ledgers)
    • Left: Not sure, perhaps turning print mode on/off?

      Was about to reply with guesses for centre two switches that match your reply. But you’ve got the manual so I’ll just say: great answer! :)
