The Retirement Thread

It’s must be frustrating when you can’t remember what happened when a whole week has elapsed since the previous episode..

Get back in you're box.

Bright and sunny but a bitterly cold northerly wind.
Soup on for lunch and still trying to sort out the guddle in the car from my trip off island.
Too cold even for gardening as my arthritic hand has flared up and weeding in the cold would not do it any good. Chop some kindling instead as that can be done in sunshine but sheltered from the wind.
My fingers would get numb out on the trike but a rise in temp is forecast in a couple of days so the trike will have to wait.
Probably a mistake but just updated the Macbook to the latest Big Sur. They do not like the version of Flash Player so have shoved it off somewhere. Not sure if I actually need it but it may affect playback of my front camera on the trike. I could go out and get the card from the cam but that will have to wait.

Nice walk done. Short rain shower to start and a chilly easterly. Just the teeniest dusting of snow on the hills that you can just about see. Lol. Bluebells are slowly appearing now too. View attachment 586207

Seems I don't need it. Why do they make everything complicated for simpletons like me?

Think as Classic says, flash is disappearing anyway.

Just beans on toast for lunch for me.

That wind is still really cold so not sure I’ll be doing much this afternoon.

Flash was a way of making it possible for simple web browsers to be able to do impressive things that they were never designed to do. Very clever technology which enabled creative people to make some amazing products like complex online games, and amazingly annoying things like animated cartoon-style adverts.

Unfortunately, hackers soon discovered that the software was so complex that it was riddled with security flaws which they could exploit to do all sorts of dodgy things to your computer. Adobe would fix 20 bugs but hackers would then find another 25, including bugs in the bug-fixes! It was never going to be sorted out properly, so it had to go.

No matter though... Technology has moved on and there are safer, more efficient ways for browsers to do these things now. So... R.I.P. Flash!
