Adobe has released the last Flash update ever
I understand why people here are so pissed about Flash, but if I be completely honest with you, IMO this tech was part of the stuff that made the &quot;old&quot; web so vibrant.<p>I remember about 15 years ago, there was a Flash animations channel on a Chinese website PCOnline.com.cn (Pacific Computer Network), many &quot;Flashkers&quot; published their art works and games there, Little Cherry Cartoon, ShiHuang Animations and that green bean frog to name a few. It was the number 1 place I went to every time when I back from school (that every half month).<p>For Americans, if you visit NASA.gov in around 2005 (I maybe misremembered the exact time), their intro page was a Flash animation featuring rocket launch and other stuff. And that animation was really cool and moving.<p>All of that is no more in today&#x27;s web. Today&#x27;s web only gives you few pictures or maybe a video in the background, and a big highlighted &quot;Sign Up&quot;||&quot;Get Started&quot; button. They are less and less &quot;Look me, I&#x27;m so cool&quot;, and the resonance is mostly gone.<p>It&#x27;s sad that Adobe was unable to address the security and stability issue in the Flash Player. Bye Flash, it was really fun.
