OT: Critical security update for Adobe Flash

[Fairlight]

And making matters sillier is Avast, who are launching Avast Premium, which
will automatically do your software security upgrades for you.  Uhm...pass!

They need to make users smarter, not cater to the idiots.  That's like
designing a car which somehow fills itself because the driver is too dumb
to be able to remove the gas cap.  I don't expect everyone to be able to do
the equivalent of changing a set of plugs, but there are reasonable
expectations for user competence, IMNSHO.
