@NIGHTEN @oblomov That old tech no longer plays well with old tech is becoming more common nowadays.

@alex_p_roe @NIGHTEN I've seen this happen with some very old flatbed scanners, but in this case it looks like forced obsolescence. I have troubles believing that they couldn't support the older tablets on the new OS.

@oblomov @NIGHTEN Am in two minds about this. Keeping drivers up to date does cost money and the use of older hardware does fall off over time so I don’t think it’s fair to expect a 15 year old device to work with a new OS - there are also security implications and we are all more security conscious now than 20 years ago.

@alex_p_roe @NIGHTEN unless there are specific reasons to drop support for the older harder (e.g.: completely different driver model on the new operating system) there is really no reason to drop support for it.
