Adobe is killing Flash?

[Chew Toy McCoy]

Just got a pop-up on my Mac saying it won't be supported at the end of the year and asked if I wanted to uninstall it.

Yes, I have received a similar message at least twice.

I didn't even know it was still alive, it's a dated resource hog whose time has passed. Newer technologies are far better.

Right. It really isn't necessary any more and was indeed causing problems for those who were still using it. I never installed it in the 2018 MBP but the other day when I turned on my 2017 12" MacBook, the message came up, explaining that it was being EOL'd and inquiring if I wanted to remove it from my system. I did indeed, and now it's out of the MacBook, too. I would've removed it a long time ago if I'd remembered it was still in there. No harm done, though.....

They announced its demise over a year ago. Maybe two years. It has been replaced with html5 mostly. Very few sites still use Flash.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Well what choice do they have, all the major browsers are banning Flash by the end of the year.

Yes, let this abomination die.

I hate Adobe. THe whole company. Their softwares run like malware. Like WTF do I need an Adobe reader app that runs continuously and has been historically running slower than Doom on max res.

Yeah, it's definitely resource hog ware. But pretty much live in Lightroom and don't think I could live without it even though it also sucks down a lot of resources.

You guys are crazy. How is a brick made of straw and clay going to kill Flash? No one can kill Flash. Duh! Crazy internet people.

My approach has been not to be involved with any activity that requires their fucking software. These assholes think that the primary purpose of a computer is to be the slave of their shitty code. Fuck them. (Yeah, my hatred goes deep).

I've refused to watch/read/follow any of these after I turned 20.

Touché, sir. Touché...

Five years from now, there will still be pop ups that say “Your Flash is out of date! Click here to update it!” and there will still be people clicking on it as it installs malware on your computer.

Saw it yesterday on hubby's MBA. I forgot that some still use it. Told him to nix it immediately. I'm keeping my new M1 MBA free of garbage from Day 1.

So did you guys get the exact same machine? Was wondering if they're different if you've compared the two.

Yep, same exact machines. He got mine with Educational discount. Then decided hours later to trade-in in his 2018 machine. Took a few extra days to arrive (although both arrived much earlier than originally estimated). Unfortunately for him, his machine completely futzed up the migration. We had to take in to the Genius Bar today. A total PITA: more than two hours, three employees to finally get the machine working. Now home and he's still fine-tuning the machine to his liking. I thought I would have trouble with an ancient, barely working machine. It was a piece of cake. The only thing left for me to do is install my music library. Waiting till Saturday or Sunday. Still kinda wishing I had opted for the MBP. Probably best that I didn't get something that I'd never put through its potential.

Y’all know the more you talk about it, the more I want it. Dang.
