   Yeah I know, and then there are the IOT devices. In my case though I   
   really do just have the PCs. I often take the remarkable decision to   
   fix things instead of replace them, which keeps my technology   
   stagnant in the first place, and I don't bother with Smartphones or   
   Smart TVs.   
      
   Hence the trouble with HTTPS in the first place. If I have a working   
   system that doesn't need to communicate securly, I want to keep using   
   it as-is. I don't want to upgrade this, which means upgrading that,   
   which means changing this, which means buying a new that, and so   
   on...
