Adobe will send a reminder to uninstall Flash by end of 2020

Adobe really wants to remind you not to use Flash anymore. If you haven't uninstalled the plugin yet, the company will send a prompt reminding you to uninstall it "later this year." And in 2021, it will block Flash content from running on its player completely.

Flash has been known to be riddled with security issues, and leaving it unchecked means attackers can exploit vulnerabilities. And now, Adobe wants to remind you that it's time to let it go in the past.

Google Search helps refugees answer queries

In honour of World Refugee Day, Google partnered with UNCHR to provide "authoritative" answers to refugees' questions. These include queries on how to qualify for cash assistance and what happens during refugee status interviews. The aim is to make it easier for refugees to start their new lives as soon as possible.

The answers will initially be available in Arabic, English, Farsi, and Turkish to assist those in Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey. The three countries have the highest volume of refugees per capita.
