There is no "console device".

There are potentially _many_ console devices.

And you don't even know which ones they are.

The old setup is BROKEN. The new setup is less so. It really is that

That's not to say that the new setup cannot be improved upon, though. I'm
just telling you that the old one was not fixable, not the way it thought
it could do things.
