All the stuff in your house will break soon, including half your spying devices.

10% of earths devices are fucked, especially for remote updates.

THESE are all fucked, deep in OS :

Windows XP SP2
Windows XP SP1
Windows XP SP3 if Automatic Root Certificate Update is manually disabled
macOS 10.12.0 (2016) and older macOS
Mac OSX 10.11.0 (September 30, 2015) and older Mac OSX
iOS 9 on iPads
iOS 8 or older on iPads
iPhone 4 or older Millions of old Apple Devices used as Wifi browsers and Phones
(iPhone 5 and above can upgrade to iOS 10 and can thus trust ISRG Root X)
Android 7.1.0 or older for SOME fucntions.
(Android >= 2.3.6 will work by default for some web sites, but SSL is not just for web sites)
Mozilla Firefox 49.X or older
Ubuntu < xenial (< 16.04 even with updates applied)
Debian < jessie "8" (even with updates applied)
Java 8 ? if hacked to 8u141 is OK, else Java 8 is fucked
Java 7 ? if hacked to 7u151 is OK, else Java 7 is fucked
NSS < 3.26 is fucked

This mainly affects poor people and Pajeets and Africans, but a year ago affected Roku and Stripe internet devices, so who knows what spy devices in your house all fail october 1st.
