@dustinb3403 I blocked port 80. Give me 443 or nothing.
And how are you blocking that while you're mobile? I can understand from a location you have control over, but roaming seems to be a challenge and doesn't fix the issue.
Assuming there's a firewall available for your mobile device, you could conceivably do it.

Conceivability verse practicality is what I'm wondering about, could someone setup a firewall to use for their cellphone etc, sure but would you really want to?

Of course not - who wants to manage that?
but the same can be said for boycotting those that don't use HTTPS - if you care enough, you're potentially already doing it - if you don't, well you never will.

I will not be purchasing smithfield products if they can't provide the lowest level of security across their sites, that is a go forward rule for me.
Do you know all of the products/vendors you use and can confirm that their sites are secured and would you do such a thing?

I only look when I'm buying something - so yeah... I look, because I care. I can tell you even in my own company - my new boss surely doesn't look, it's not on her mind to know about this. But I don't mean to single her out - almost no one else here likely looks for that.

So when do we start boycotting businesses that refuse to use SSL...
They have SSL, it just doesn't redirect you properly.

Uptime was 22days (not the worst I've seen). Disk and Memory were at 100% usage before restart.....

With the W10 fast-boot / hybrid shutdown I've seen last boot times upwards of 9 months and a year on some machines.

Jeez - It's been several years,... but a friend had me check the uptime of the Linux server after him.... just to 'prove a point'... maybe.. Uptime was on the order of 960 days... Insanity.

You need to reboot to verify hardware hasn't failed at least once a month, sheesh.

No argument there - and more know this better than I do,.. There are just some system updates (regardless of OS) that you must restart to finalize... Even my insignificant Ubuntu Server needs it with autoupdates (not configured to restart though I know it could be).

GPO'd that out of our network and suddenly a noticible chunk of stupid issues just stopped.

Had the same thing happened when I added a 4am reboot to all users systems on Monday mornings.

I would like to add that. But so many of our staff won't be on network, on at that time. Nearly 85% of the PCs are laptops...
ETA:
That and a force kick from the Citrix and RDS servers at 1am daily. -

This isn't always a user's fault.
F'n MS doesn't always do a full shutdown... in fact by default choosing shutdown does a fast shutdown... choosing reboot supposedly always does a full shutdown memory clear reboot whatever.. and windows resets the clock.

I never, ever shut down anything. I either hibernate or reboot. Mostly hibernate, and reboot when not given the choice (updates). So for me, I don't care what shutdown does.
