Adobe Flash and The Demise of a Chinese Railroad - Rewind

Published: Nov. 27, 2023, 9 a.m.

Originally released May 31, 2021. When Adobe announced it would be discontinuing Flash in 2017, developers started replacing it with newer, more robust software. But one railroad system in Dalian, China didn\u2019t get the memo. When it was finally globally disabled in January of 2021, the entire railroad was disabled. In this episode, I get nostalgic about the good ole\u2019 days of flash animation, then tell the story about how it affected the railroad. Then we chat with Erik Tait, from Ships of the Northern Fleet and Penn & Teller Fool Us for the Quick Quiz!\n\n\n\n\nReview this podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-internet-says-it-s-true/id1530853589\n\nBonus episodes and content available at\xa0http://Patreon.com/MichaelKent\n\nFor special discounts and links to our sponsors, visit\xa0http://theinternetsaysitstrue.com/deals
