- lomnakkus 10y agoThose are extremely marginal as they're POS systems (+"Thin PC", I guess. I have no idea what that actually is.) EDIT: I mean, I understand if you want to be able to keep using a JS/CSS framework, but it's not really reasonable to ask for upstreams to keep supporting such marginal systems.

- lomnakkus 10y agoI'm not sure what you mean, I think we were discussing upstreams (such as Bootstrap or whatever) supporting old browsers? The old browsers are presumably (according to that page) still getting security updates by Microsoft, so I'm not what you're arguing. (Either way, if the browsers are not getting security updates, that's on Microsoft, not on upstreams.) Can you explain what you mean? EDIT: Hopefully to clarify what I'm puzzled about: How is having to use an old Bootstrap a security issue?
