    Did windows? Does any other electronic device?

    This is how electronics work, as newer programs and updates use more resources, older devices can’t keep up. So what, just not bring in new features so older devices can continue to work? Hold everything else up?

    Why is Amazon being held to arbitrary and different standards? It’s common knowledge that’s how stuff operates since the 90s….
