EOL for FLASH – End of Line, o fim da linha.

Previsto para acontecer em 12 de janeiro de 2021 marcou o fim da linha para o programa FLASH.

Novas e melhores tecnologias sempre chegam, o problema aqui é como resgatar o que foi feito usando uma tecnologia agora obsoleta.

Na história das mídias digitais isto é recorrente. Alguém ainda têm um Videocassete VHS ? Mesmo as mídias profissionais como as Betacam, Video8, alguém ? Cds e DVDs quase extintos…

O perigo é ver a memória ser apagada para sempre.

No caso desta pesquisa inúmeros filmes editados no Korsakow em suas versões iniciais eram somente exportados em FLASH. As análises feitas e sugeridas não poderão ser vistas pelos meus orientadores, público acadêmico e geral. Alguns jamais serão vistos de novo. Muitos que fazem parte desta pesquisa se enquadram nesta triste categoria.Além de que isso abre um novo problema de pesquisa dentro da pesquisa, que pelo menos devo relatar no processo.

O Korsakow já atualizou no seu banco de filmes quais estão em Flash, vou tratar disso no próximo post.

Não há substituto e a ADOBE desaconselha fortemente o uso de programas de terceiros.

Segue o que informa a ADOBE na sua página oficial.

Since Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems.  


Some users may continue to see reminders from Adobe to uninstall Flash Player from their system.  See below for more details on how to uninstall Flash Player.

UPDATED: January 13, 2021

Adobe stopped supporting Flash Player beginning December 31, 2020 (“EOL Date”), as previously announced in July 2017.

Open standards such as HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly have continually matured over the years and serve as viable alternatives for Flash content. Also, major browser vendors are integrating these open standards into their browsers and deprecating most other plug-ins (like Flash Player).  See Flash Player EOL announcements from AppleFacebookGoogleMicrosoft and Mozilla.

By providing more than three years’ advance notice, Adobe believes that there has been sufficient time for developers, designers, businesses, and other parties to migrate Flash content to new standards.  The EOL timing was in coordination with some of the major browser vendors.

After the EOL Date, Adobe will not issue Flash Player updates or security patches. Adobe strongly recommends immediately uninstalling Flash Player. To help secure your system, Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021. Major browser vendors have disabled and will continue to disable Flash Player from running.

Flash Player may remain on your system unless you uninstall it.  Uninstalling Flash Player will help secure your system since Adobe will not  issue Flash Player updates or security patches after the EOL Date.  Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021 and the major browser vendors have disabled and will continue to disable Flash Player from running after the EOL Date.

Click “Uninstall” when prompted by Adobe, or follow these manual uninstall instructions for Windows and Mac users.

Since Adobe is no longer supporting Flash Player after the EOL Date, Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021 to help secure your system.  Flash Player may remain on your system unless you uninstall it.

Browsers and operating systems that support Flash Player continue to decrease so Adobe strongly recommends immediately uninstalling Flash Player.

Apple Safari version 14, released for macOS in September 2020, no longer loads Flash Player or runs Flash content. Please visit Apple’s Safari support for more information.
