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.

    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.

    • This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.  
    • Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
    • Big fan of EAC Here's a good non-default naming scheme I found on the web (can't take credit) File Name Scheme - %albumartist%\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Various Artists Naming Scheme - Various Artists\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Also, I need test but there is a new flac.exe binary & dll you can drop in the folder to upgrade flac support. I did this pre EAC 1.8. EAC 1.8 did upgrade it to 1.4.3. Flac 1.5.0 came out this year. https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/ I don't know how much of a difference / impact will make.
    • Hello, Probably the simplest way of doing this would be to add a video card to your computer.   Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
