Java 6 Update 41 and Java 7 Update 15 available


Recommended Posts

I hate Java updates, constantly popups with this.

Need it to run one single program that needs Java, but this is ridiculous, just get an easier way to update, at least with no NEXT and NEXT and Clicks, just make it automatic and background if its really needed.

It's funny that 6.41 even exists. They've said on the download site for several months that version 6.38 was the final one they would release in the 6.xx line.
I am sure they did not state that. Java 6's Public End-Of-Life date was set to be 2012.11 but on August they changed it to 2013.02. So it is five days until they move Java 6 to the Java Archive.

That's all correct. So is the fact that during 2013.02, when 6.38 was still current, their website said, "This is the last public release of Java 6." I know because my workplace was just about to push an update of 6.38 to about 4000 machines, when 6.41 suddenly became available. The SCCM admin and I got a WTFchuckle out of it.

    • UK enforces strict new online age checks today by Paul Hill As of today, July 25, 2025, new Ofcom regulations mandate that “highly effective” age checks are in place for online services. These new rules apply to any websites or platforms that host pornography, self-harm, suicide, or eating disorder content. Major platforms like Pornhub, Bluesky, Discord, Grindr, Reddit, and X have committed to implementing age-gating. These age checks are part of the broader Online Safety Act, which is designed to make the internet safer, particularly for kids. These measures move away from just confirming you’re 18 by clicking a button to having to actually verify your age with ID or a face scan, but this move is not without its critics. Starting today, Ofcom will actively check compliance with the new rules and start launching investigations into non-compliant services, starting next week. The current enforcement program that’s focused on studio porn services is extending to all platforms allowing user-shared pornographic material, not just those websites dedicated to that. Ofcom is also launching another enforcement program that will target websites specifically dedicated to harmful content like self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme violence/gore. Ofcom has strong enforcement powers under the Online Safety Act, it can dish out fines of up to 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue or £18 million. For the worst offenders, Ofcom can even get websites blocked in the UK. Ofcom is already investigating 11 companies that it doesn’t think are following the rules. Aside from age checks, Ofcom’s Codes also require websites to protect children from dangerous stunts, misogynistic, violent, hateful, or abusive material, and online bullying. Algorithms of social media will need to be configured to block harmful content in children’s feeds, for example. Ofcom will be launching an extensive monitoring program requiring risk assessments by August 7 and practical action disclosures by September 30. While some have criticized the Online Safety Act, research cited by Ofcom shows that 71% of UK parents think the changes will positively impact children’s online safety, with 77% being optimistic about the age checks specifically. With that said, a significant minority of parents (41%) are skeptical about whether tech firms will follow the rules. Source: Ofcom | Image via Depositphotos.com
