What should be done when a question is similar to an old question, but the answer to the new question depends on technology that did not exist, or was not usably mature, at the time of the old question?

  1. Should a new answer be added to an old question even if the new answer was not available at the time of the old question?
  2. Should the new question be marked as a duplicate, even if it has a new answer?

I would allow a new question depending on new technology.
Just make sure to stress the different technology available now, and link to that old question with an explicit remark that those were not available then.
Don't leave away that link, or someone will close as a duplicate for sure.

Some time later, it might be possible and opportune to modify the questions and answers so they are duplicates and ask for merging, explicitly listing why the new answers are important
