You misunderstand. The problem of securing machines *IS* solved. It is
possible. It is regularly done with servers connected to the Internet.
There is no *COMPUTING* problem or technical problem.

The problem of the 100 million machines is a social or business problem.
We know how they can be secured, but the solution is not being
implemented.

So, you're saying we can secure them so long as we put
them behind NAT AND humans don't use them?
