I don’t have #IoT. I have #LoT. LAN of things. 

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/10/24

Interesting thought:

I don’t have #IoT. I have #LoT. LAN of things. My gadgets have no default gateway and cannot talk to the internet. Simple. Now I’m hoping for broad supp… – Jan Wildeboer – Google+

Business and IT do many horrible things, so I really hope someone will start a similar site about SSL Labs F-rated domains. The ones that are so broken that they degraded their https to virtually plain-text http quality.

In the past, a notorious example of this was Embarcadero, who in the past managed to get F-rating or had wrong configurations on the below domains, therefore preventing me from logging in and getting new products from them (which is far worse than them not cleaning up their bug database):
