WTF Java? That's not how radio buttons work.
-
So I wanted to tell Java NOT to put Yahoo's shit on my computer, but I tapped the radio button twice by mistake... how the FUCK do you get this wrong? It has to be intentional...
Problem Step 1: User left click on "Do not update browser settings. (radio button)" in "Java Setup"
Problem Step 2: User left click on "Do not update browser settings. (radio button)" in "Java Setup"
Don't blame me for the JPEG compression. I used Windows Problem Steps Recorder because it captures the mouse pointer, and there's no way to tell it not to shit all over the screenshots.

You can download a version of the Java installer from Oracle without that bollocks too.
-
That was the installer that the Java "new version available" system tray notification launched.
-
I haven't used the standard Java installer in a long time, since I got sick of it being broken if you used UAC
-
Broken?
If you allow it to elevate when it asks, it works just fine.
If you're a regular user, you can't elevate it so you can't keep it updated. That kinda sucks, but what do you really expect.

Was it?

I think you have to install the sans-advertising crap version initially for it to not suggest it later. Or maybe the sans-advertising version doesn't have auto update. Can't remember as I disable the auto update anyway.

So it comes up every day asking for elevation. You enter a password, then it starts trying to check and fails. Then you wonder how this shity software has made it onto however many billions of computers around the world and cry a little inside

Regardless, the point is they took a basic UI element and they made it work in a broken way.

That does sound like Oracle.

That's why Oracle has its own category on this forum.

Gee what a shock, it's broken in such a way that it makes the search toolbar option the most likely to occur. I am shocked and amazed and surprised by this my heart just stopped omg it is so shocking my heart could not take it

On Java!?
Is that like a new version of Russian Roulette?
-
The behavior is that radio button is insane, that is absolutely not how they're supposed to work!
BTW: Java actually has a setting to disable sponsors.
-
disable sponsors.
Nice! Now if only Adobe could do that...
-
Specifically, grab it from the JDK download site. It's the download button below the text JRE.

Meh. It gets updated, just not automatically.

apt-getkeeps me updated.

apt-getkeeps me updated.'apt-get' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.Regular people at work have their Java version controlled by the corporate deployment overlords. The current version they're on is 1.7.someshit.
My team only looks after 1 Java app that runs on 1.8 - the other runs on 1.4 so my desktops get updated at the same rate as the server running 1.8.

I just install the JDK without the public JRE and manually keep myself up to date. I always perform a full uninstall before updating.
