#ADOBE FLASH FOR ANDROID 4.42 UPDATE#
I noticed yesterday that all machines running Windows Defender got a program update via Defender List update. Even though I have “never check for updates,” set in win7 machines, msoft still does update stuff anyway. But, it is still working perfectly, so why be forced to spend tens of thousands on replacing it if we allow msoft to block “old” Active-X.įortunately I can block that one system on the main network receiving updates from the msoft servers via the main dd-wrt router. The cameras use a proprietary streaming format and the company no longer exists. At my Brother in law’s business, he only has one last system running IE/Active-X, but it is going to be a significant cost outlay. By all means stop supporting something but how can they know just what is being used with IE and Active-X. It pisses me off that msoft has to actively block choices. Well, unless you just want the cameras guarding your premises as a visual deterrent. Anything older than a few years will still be using Active-X and IE. At a guess, I’d say there are upwards of 10-million commercial and home installations of security cameras depending on IE/Active-X. But when? A century, ten centuries? Not in my lifetime i’m afraid, but it will go on that vector, I’m sure, it’s in the very nature of life.Ĭlearly msoft and quite a few commenters here have not thought this through. It’s not liberty the problem, it’s what is done of it by a few, or many, most? My conviction at this time is that humanity is not yet sufficiently evolved to manage liberty in a civilized way but that this is not a reason to defeat liberty but only one to do the best we can and consider that with time ethics will gain on lack of ethics, that consequently societies will become more permissive and that liberty, because we will not have closed it in the hard times, will arise greater than ever.

When we see what is done with liberty in the Western world we may be tempted to call for tighter laws. Liberty, freedom is not anarchy, they require obligations and being aware and respectful of those obligations is the price of our liberty. MC-riders as “organ donors” is a tough wording but unfortunately (or fortunately) true.

Interestingly enough, non-admin users who use Internet Explorer 11 won't see "see any out-of-date Flash ActiveX control blocks" according to Microsoft.
