Wait. What? They got the system back up with a PIRATED version of Flash. I'm shocked.

This happened in our company, we still had a few apps written in Flex years ago that were still being used.

I bet they were already using a pirated version of Flash but then they had to switch to a hacked version of Flash to get it running again.

As if they were using a licensed version.

Even MORE shocking is that the system was running on a legitimately licensed, legal copy of Flash in the first place!

China Railroad Stops When Adobe Finally Turns off Flash

Reported by "Apple Daily" - maybe it cut off their shipments of iPhones from their child labor factory.

I don’t know anything about what Adobe did for my computer but after several notifications, I uninstalled mine and haven’t noticed any difference......

This is hilarious. Adobe stopped supporting Flash because so few developers would use it any more. I got messages every other day, starting two months ago, that it would be discontinued. Surely the Chinese were already using a pirated version or they would have also received the messages.

Authorities fixed the issue by installing a pirated version of Flash at 4:30 a.m. the following day.

Everything is pirated in China. Even the Wuhan Flu was stolen from bats.

While it’s cute to see it happen in China, it’s scary to think that entire train systems can be shutdown by basically a ‘software glitch’.

Back in the early days of the Internet, I was a Flash master, creating dazzling, leading edge, world class websites utilizing (then Macromedia) Flash. One of the last websites I built with Flash earned the 2007 W3 Silver Award for Website Creative Excellence.

I haven’t had Flash installed on my browsers in years.

It’s dead, Jim.

They had the AOL support number on their backup tape, but nobody could find the 8-track player.

The Opera browser uses Flash and it corrupted my Aptik transport software when I tried to install Linux Mint Cinnamon on a new system. I had to completely remove Opera for Aptik to work again. Adobe has caused numerous problems. The system would hang waiting for a response from Adobe. Flash, good residences that it is gone.
