Also, something I often see non-technical people fall victim to is that if your clock is off, the entirety of the secure web is inaccessible to you. Why should a blog (as opposed to say online banking) break for this reason?
IE 10 in Windows Server 2008 doesn't support TLS 1.1+ by default.
But the old phone is significantly better at making actual phone calls than the new one.
So? If they still power on and are capable of talking HTTP over a network, and you don't require the transfer of data that needs to be secured, why shouldn't you "let" them online?
Beats me.
I actually have an example myself - an iPad 3. Apple didn't allow anyone else than themselves to provide a web browser engine, and at some point they deliberately stopped updates. This site used to work, until some months ago. I currently use it for e-books, if that wasn't the case I think it by now it would essentially be software bricked.
I acknowledge that owning older Apple hardware is dumb. I didn't pay for it, though.
