One of the big issues with the Internet of Things (IoT) is that not all manufacturers of the devices are being careful about security. Many/most of the devices are connected to the Internet (hence the "I"), and some of them do not use strong passwords and security. Some of the devices still have their well-known default passwords because their installers/users haven't bothered to change them, and some devices can be used to bridge past firewalls if they are not installed thoughtfully.Klystron said:
So the meme is poking fun at such IoT devices, pointing out that "Security" did not make it into the acronym.

I read the 'I' as 'l'; i.e., a lowercase 'L'. Thanks for helping keep decrepitude at bay for another day.berkeman said:One of the big issues with the Internet of Things (IoT) is that not all manufacturers of the devices are being careful about security.

Hmm...Baluncore said:
"Decrease" should be the opposite of "crease".
"Increase" should be the opposite of "crease".
Therefore "decrease" and "increase" mean the same thing!

From Northern Exposure, Ed has come to talk to Dr Joel Fleischmann about his uncle who is sick but won't see a doctor.
Ed: He is a doctor.
Joel: Oh really? Which kind?
Ed: Witch.
Joel: Which which?
Ed: Which what?
Joel: Which doctor?
Ed: Right.
Ed: He is a doctor.
Joel: Oh really? Which kind?
Ed: Witch.
Joel: Which which?

In the same time period there was a slogan: "The solution to pollution is dilution" meaning throw it in the river and it will get diluted away in the flow.
If this is over done, you can get things like the Cuyahoga river catching fire:
The ecology of natural organisms was probably not doing too well in these parts.A dilution approach will work up to a limit, of what the environment receiving the dumping can handle. It will also depend on the nature of what is dumped. Toxins are worse than sewage (biodegradable).
A greater awareness of environmental consequences did not develop much (as public policy) until something like the 1970's.
The first Earth day was in 1970. The Nixon also made the EPA in 1970.
