Even HPE's out-of-band management, iLO, didn't support TLS 1.2 and HTML5 until hardware version 4, and the latter was only added with a somewhat-recent firmware update. Anything older, and you'll still need .NET, ActiveX, or Java support for the full experience.

Heck, even SonicOS 5 won't load the IPv4/IPv6 selection screen on anything but Internet Explorer. Even their recent firmware updates for URGENT11 didn't address this.

It seemed to me they could have at least allowed you to optionally install 32-bit compatibility if you needed it, similar to the way they built "OS 9 classic mode" into the first OS X releases?

Yeah, they could have released it as an optional component, but they're Apple and they can do whatever they want. The pundits seem to think that Apple killed i386 libraries in order to prepare for yet another architecture change in macOS, this time from Intel 64-bit processors to Apple/ARM 64-bit processors. By jettisoning all Intel 32-bit support now, they just cut their work in half.

Well, OSX has removed all 32-bit support in Catalina, including being able to run 32-bit applications!

There is no good reason to have these automated simple SSL certs when we could just self-sign everything!

We have that already. It's called DANE. However, adoption has been poor, partially because it (rightfully) relies on DNSSEC, which has also seen little adoption.

The Microsoft Store version of To-Do integrates with Office 365's Planner, which my company uses. Other than that, I don't use To-Do at all. While it's great I can put it on my MacBook, it's useless until To-Do 1.1 is released with Planner integration.

Add a few things like long filename support, Powershell commands and so on.

I like your thinking, with PowerShell, but there's a ton of .NET underneath each cmdlet that would make porting all but impossible. Sure, you could edit COMMAND.COM and alias gci and ls to dir, but that's about it, barring one heck of a DOS extender.

Comment Re:Nothing Bizare about IPv6 (Score 1) 163

When Comcast Business first started handing out IPv6, I noticed that IPv4 pings were noticeably slower than IPv4 things. I had heard somewhere that Comcast had switched their entire network over to IPv6-native with IPv4 running through an automatic 4in6 tunnel, "IPv4-as-a-service." They've fixed the IPv4 slowdowns since then, so now both are nearly equal.
