Sadly, an individual on an older device who is browsing with JS disabled for accessibility reasons (else most of the web freezes up the device and takes down the web browser) is not able to access this basic information.
Have you ever checked out uMatrix? It's a chrome plugin that lets you control which javascript can run on a page (and allow some by default across the web based on where it's loaded from).
That's a nice idea, but it's not a solution. The real solution is to make content accessible, rather than depending on JavaScript. Apple has terrible form in this regard.
I'm off to see if I can get Greasemonkey to swap out the icons for icons like these on the AWS status page.
