Every time Apple forces me to update (lemmy.ml)

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

I've had pretty good results using Connect My Tablet (app store link) to keep my Intuos 3 working on my M3 MBP.

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.

Yeah I’m currently on sequoia. Setting it up was pretty obnoxious from what I remember. I had to do it 3 times before my computer recognized it, but if you follow directions better than me (and if your specific tablet is supported), you should be good! If you have a friend on a newer version of Mac OS, see if you can test on their computer before upgrading your own since it might be very difficult to downgrade.
