@domi@donotsta.re @wolf480pl@mstdn.io I usually don't like the "if it's not FOSS it's trash" argument, but I think it's fair to argue that TLS updates breaking compat with older devices is mostly a problem of said older devices being proprietary-only, with no (good) way to update the software beyond what the manufacturer supports. There is no technical reason why 3DS couldn't support newer TLS versions, it's just because the vendor abandoned the otherwise very usable device and left no way to update it. Plenty of otherwise ancient machines, some older than 3DS, can and do surf the web without TLS problems, because they could just be updated to support the updates in security, which to me shows that it's more of a problem in the vendor of the device, rather than the TLS protocol.
