I know there's a lot of people who loved their AirPort Extremes but there is one reason that this made my day: with the discontinuation of Apple routers that used NAT-PNP (0.01% market share), it means UPNP port mapping (99.9% market share) is now universal. That means for any app that needs to accept inbound connections, the arcana of port mapping just got smaller by an order of magnitude.

- StudentStuff 9y agoWho cares about them, they're such a small userbase (that has been shrinking for years) as to not be worth paying attention to.
- zaarn 9y agoInternet Explorer 6 has over 30 times more marketshare (0.31% vs 0.01%. So unless you support IE6 users on your website too I don't think there is a particular reason to support an even smaller, less significant userbase. (If your SSL/TLS settings on your website are even remotely modern and you use SNI, which everyone in the internet does, IE6 won't even bother opening the webpage at all)
