Somewhat reminiscent of the old slogan people used for wu-ftpd: Providing root since 1988 Quote
digip Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I keep a text file, of all downloads for the main(non Active-x) and ppapi versions. It's getting quite long, but allows me to update before the app asks me to since I check manually for new versions as they come out, and it doesn't bundle with any of the add-ons they use. I admit, I use flash, but I watch Hulu and YouTube a lot, but I also turn things off when not needed. I have an archive of flash 9-present, but only have a list of links from aorund 11 through present. If you work at a company that requires you to use flash or If anyone just wants a copy, post here, I will post the info. Once started, all you have to do is go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, verify your version against the current, and then replace the version number corresponding to the one you need per npapi and ppapi downloads if you need to update. Sometimes you get lucky and can find the early updates before the version on the site has changed before they publish, which usually coincide with windows patch Tuesdays now. Quote
cooper Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Where did that plugin go where you would need to click on the element before the plugin starts to play? Quote
deadlyhabit Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Jesus Flash is such a steaming pile of shit. Quote
Rkiver Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 If you can live without it (which I think most of us probably can) get rid of Flash. When Shannon suggested it a while back on an episode someone who was CLEARLY a flash developer got all sore and stupid about it. Was hysterical watching him try to defend it. Quote
deadlyhabit Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Honestly I don't see the necessity of it with HTML5 Quote
Rkiver Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Honestly I don't see the necessity of it with HTML5 Some sites still refuse to move over sadly. Quote
digip Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 People have to remember that flash is still more than just video, and some companies uses it on the lan, although it's mostly a multimedia media audience using the end result, companies still make ads and interactive products using flash. Games for one are a huge market too, which I think people often forget about. Quote
