There is a whole business segment that runs on phones these days - small builders.
My favorite joiner and general fix-the-bits-that-are-falling-off-your-house man has a smartphone. He can barely use it. He is OK with texting and voicemail - email is a bit of a struggle. But he has to have it to keep in touch with customers, suppliers, and subcontractors. The younger ones are better with the technology.
I am dealing with a supplier who runs his business from his phone. He has a woodworking shop, does made to measure for builders. He uses ebay for leads, email to agree specs & prices and send invoices, internet bank transfers for payment.
His invoicing is a fine blend of old and new. He uses a stationers invoice book, a rubber stamp to put his business details in the blank at the top, writes his bank details, order details, prices by hand. Then he takes a picture with his phone and emails it.
I make an internet bank transfer, email him a screen capture of that, and wait for delivery.

Isn't the CMB a kind of standing wave that fills the universe? a bunch of photons going off in all directions?
Oops. I was winging it a bit since I had forgotten the definition/meaning of 'standing wave'. Here, let me have another shot on the range of bad analogies:
The CMB is a bunch of photons that are everywhere and going nowhere else at the speed of light. Poor CMB photons, all sped up and no place to go.
I almost got carried away and added 'on a computer'. Who knows, it might be patentable that way. -- If I wanted insight, I wouldn't be writing to/.
... moving close to the speed of light relative to the CMB...
What does this mean? Isn't the CMB a kind of standing wave that fills the universe? a bunch of photons going off in all directions?
Here is my take. I am not a cosmologist or astrophysicist. I know about as much math as the fetal Einstein.
The universe began in a singularity with maximum separation distance of zero, and no meaningful earlier time. Next thing we know it is a dense space full of energy with the maximum separation (or the measurement thereof) increasing. It is like a plasma, opaque since the world line of any photon is very short.
Eventually the expansion lowers the energy density so that photons begin to have noticeable world lines. Let there be dark. The universe has become transparent, life and baryons and such can happen. And we get protons and galaxies and astronomers, who detect the CMB.
But the universe is not dark/transparent. At CMB frequencies and below the universe is still hot and opaque....everywhere.

Were the update servers compromised? The target could have been one or more customers.
Given the advanced nature of what has been found, customer clean-up might be very difficult. -- When you think the trick is happening, it's already been done.
...It would be really handy to have a durable means to store that information that I could retrieve without having to completely rebuild an advanced technological society first...
You would still need the tool chain. -- History is just a highlight reel.

And how many one lane freeways are there? Typical three lane freeways have more capacity at much lower cost.
