Flash is dead: Adobe announces end-of-life plans, will stop distribution in 2020
dachar said:This is good news but getting already constructed websites to be updated may prove hard. I have had to write to my son's school many times when they have set web based homework using sites that require Flash. As an Apple only family my son has been unable to do the homework due to our lack of Flash on our iMacs. l believe this is discriminatory and may result in no marks. The school has always been good about the issue but the homework still continues sometimes to be Flash based. I expect most of the teachers have no idea about the problems with Flash and many owners of older websites have not got resources to update their web pages.
There's no reason to use one and only one browser. Keep your Safari Flash-free, while have Chrome as your Flash-fallback, when needed. At least that's how I've done it for the past few years. The day is coming when built-in Flash support is gone from Chrome, too. Has that day already come? I have the latest Chrome and Flash continues to work correctly.

Apple's iOS 10.3 update can reclaim as much as 7.8GB of available storage
emoeller said:I'm hoping that the across the board (MacOS hasn't yet rolled this out yet) APFS rollout will result in Apple finally putting in place a file handling system across Apple's entire line of products.
That was a major design goal of APFS — one modern file system for all Apple devices, from the watch to massive servers.
