In case I'd depend on something I only can control via Flash I would go for an isolated VM with Windows or alike, install everything, never touch it again and not connecting to the internet ever again (or only with a different flash-less browser).
Ha. Not a chance. :-(
The TomTom car navigator, for instance, uses Flash to do the map update. It also requires some Windows service. Of course, you need Internet and a login to the account to download the updates, and this all run with Flash...
Every time I want to update the thing, I have to boot Windows, update Windows, FF, Flash, antivirus, etc, then the TomTom. I hate the procedure, takes hours.
That is one thing why I dumped TomTom. The other thing is that they sold user data (transmitted from and by the navi to TomTom) to the police of the Netherlands, who built speed check points at some new locations because of that. And TomTom claimed that they did not know what the police wanted the data for... So I do not trust this company, where the management has no clue that data can be so harmful ;)
Ah, of course the tomtom runs Linux inside...
They don not want to tell the user every now and then to reboot the device, I guess. -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
