A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

updates for safari are generally tied to the operating system

Sure - but Apple also ships bugfix and web standards compatibility updates for old versions of Safari. You don't have to be running the latest version to be fully supported. You only need the latest version for user interface features (tab grouping, etc).

It's generally only a problem with really old hardware.
