Adobe flash was shut down for security concerns, but why didn’t they just patch the security flaws?
In: Technology
Imagine you have a doggy door in your front door. You can lock your door, but things could still get in, you can’t really “patch” a doggy door while having it still remain functional as a doggy door. So eventually people just stopped putting doggy doors in because in the end it’s better to have to manually let your dog out than it is to have to deal with critters always coming in without your consent.
To patch flash to make it “secure” would make it unusable for people. So they just got rid of it for better solutions.
