Nest gets folded into the Google Hardware team
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11/report-nest-might-be-folded-into-googles-hardware-team/Hopefully they can fix the security issues, but seems doubtful.
Yeah, I'd need to see some serious independent security reviews (not paid for by Google) before I'd even consider their shit in my house!

Just got an email. StartCom is done at the beginning of 2018.
As you are surely aware, the browser makers distrusted StartCom around a year ago and therefore all the end entity certificates newly issued by StartCom are not trusted by default in browsers.
The browsers imposed some conditions in order for the certificates to be re-accepted. While StartCom believes that these conditions have been met, it appears there are still certain difficulties forthcoming. Considering this situation, the owners of StartCom have decided to terminate the company as a Certification Authority as mentioned in Startcom´s website.
StartCom will stop issuing new certificates starting from January 1st, 2018 and will provide only CRL and OCSP services for two more years.
StartCom would like to thank you for your support during this difficult time.
StartCom is contacting some other CAs to provide you with the certificates needed. In case you don´t want us to provide you an alternative, please, contact us at [email protected]
Please let us know if you need any further assistance with the transition process. We deeply apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause.

Couldn't happen to a better set of folks. Now if only they'd check the rest of them in the crazy list!
