Only 4.9 percent of today's websites utilize Flash code, a number that has plummeted from a 28.5 percent market share recorded at the start of 2011.

The number, courtesy of web technology survey site W3Techs, confirms Flash's decline, and a reason why Adobe has decided to retire the technology at the end of 2020.

[...] On the client side, browser makers are expected to remove Flash support from their products altogether by the end of 2020 —Flash's end-of-life date.

2020 can't come soon enough.

    Back in 1990 someone swiped all the memory from all the macs in my building.

    The security guards were convinced the culprit was an Apple employee but their company instructed them to search only us contractors when we left the building

    Considering how difficult it was to service those early Macs, removing the ram from all from a bunch of them without getting caught I'm sure was no easy task.

    Probably was an Apple employee now that I think about it.
