Re: Goodbye to Flash!

Hi guys,

Just read an article on TechCrunch about Adobe Flash. Apparently they will attempt to 'say goodbye to Flash' - it will be phased out by the year 2020. The decision was also made partly due to the fact that it was never supported on mobile.

What do you think??

However, "it’s worth remembering that it played a pivotal role in bringing video and gaming to the web, for example." I remember those early web games using flash.

You can read the whole thing here.

Even more reason for o2 to redesign their business portal then.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Not on a 56k modem connecting at 34k it didn't. Somehow bypassed me those flash games/videos then again I was using these weird Unix machines (ok Sun Solaris ones) where you discover the web standards was defined by lazy web developers as being Internet Explorer specific. Sadly there is a rather large banking organisation that insists on using IE for its (business) internet banking (Edge -> IE mode!). But I digress. Flash becomes another tombstone on the internet.

I use it on my laptop and apparently it will still be supported for various devices. I had an update only yesterday and it works well.....However, if its being phased out I will replace it ....so can anyone suggest anything better for my HP laptop?

no need to replace the new browsers support the things going to replace it like html5 no user action should be needed ! It is the developers that need to change how they encode the old flash content to the newer standards .
