I never turn off my machine, because every reboot forces an update and my peripherals are ancient.

      I don’t think that was a thing when I bought my Wacom, and this 12x8 tablet was the best you could get at the time for drawing and working with the Adobe suite in OSX, which was why I needed it.

      I wish I could go back in time to when I could afford such things, but now I have to work with what I have. It’s still a very good tablet, it’s just getting outmoded for no good reason.

      e: and I don’t mean something like an iPad, I mean a drawing tablet. This:

    Isn’t a drawing tablet just a fancy touchpad that works with a pen? What excuse do they have not to work with tablets past a certain age when they all use the same USB signalling standard mice and laptop touchpads have used since USB came out? (We all know the real reason, but I’m curious about what they pretend is the reason?)

      Apple don’t feel the need to give excuses in situations like this. They know you’re an edge case and your complaints will be so much piss in the ocean. Meanwhile else gets to talk about how great the new unreadable ui is. That skeleton at the bottom of the swimming pool meme could work here.

      Basically yeah. It’s a bit more complicated because of touch sensitivity, but I think I’ll need to learn driver programming soon, because I can’t afford a new model (e: and there’s nothing wrong with this one). Then I’ll be able to say for sure.

      e: Intuos 4. And to be fair, it would have died under windows like 10 years ago, apparently.

          Ooh thanks!

          e: have you updated past Ventura? I haven’t yet because I keep seeing posts where this tablet breaks at Ventura and later. If your 3 works in a more recent OSX, I’ll be able to breathe again, since my subscription services (Adobe, Sibelius) are complaining that I haven’t upgraded.
