I've got a couple of these little guys running at home, I think they're great for the money.
Got one running RaspyFi, An awesome Music streaming/radio appliance distro and another running my home phone system (AKA an Asterisk Box) - Check these out if you have a spare few hours to get something awesome running.
No hard numbers, other than "However, Cisco TRAC/SIO research also shows that 76 percent of enterprises using Cisco solutions are also using the Java 6 Runtime Environment, in addition to Java 7" and goes off on a big long rant on why people who still have the Java 6 JRE installed are babykilling spawns of satan.
Also at it's peak last year Java Malware made up 14% of all malware on the entire internets.
Why would someone still be using Java 6 Runtime Environment? Their network administrators shouldnt be allowed near computers
Because you have crappy old applications/hardware that break unless you use an older version of Java... e.g. for me, SDM software for Cisco [ironic this is a Cisco article] ASA Firewalls (my case can be solved with an update, but that's not the point... sometimes it's impossible to upgrade).
For me best practice is to not install Java unless you need it... If you "do" need to run an old version then only run it on locked environment. I think more browsers should take the stance that Apple took, if Java isn't used within "X" days, the browser plugin is disabled.
Java can be very powerful, I cut my teeth on it... but its also a pain in the ass. I agree with OP for the most Part
I know. The video is not on my channel and our lecturer made the creator take it down and I am pretty sure I wont be allowed to upload the other videos I took.
So if you missed watching the video: Tough.
Wait, what?? Why post it if no one can watch it, illogical!
