My guess is those idiots were spending too much time masturbating over porn because 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and if you do not know what that stands for you do not belong on/. but do belong in some idiot Pakistani agency telling ISPs what to do. They kind of did point out the blocking is occurring at local ISP dns server level, well, ain't that an exercise in futility. Next step, oh my the difficulty, simply advertise your IP addresses (IPv4) and your IPv6 address range. There is a sneaky way of doing this with links, so the web domain names appears in the hyperlink but the actual IP address is used instead of the domain name.
Matey there are entire web sites that are nothing but ads pretending to be content, fucking hundreds of thousands of the shitty things and very often one shit head controls hundreds of them, same shitty ads, wrapped around the same shitty content (more often than not straight up scrapped off other web sites) and just presented with a different schema and name. Yes, you can be attacked by a random link on a random page because those web sites operators where not careful enough and that link lead you straight to a malvertisement site and those are often buried in ads. I prefer https://noscript.net/ as it lets pick and choose whose scripts are allowed to run and whose scripts are blocked https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... (if you are naughty no cookies for you).
Yet, watching paint dry still better than some of the shit movies those people have to watch. Shit, I could imagine a month into that job wanting to tear my eyes out and run screaming from the room bumping into walls and furniture on the way out. Could you imagine having to watch shitty movie, after shitty movie day in and day out. Watching paint dry would be a relief, guy in question is an idiot. Honestly If I were them I would be begging for more paint drying movies, the peace of serenity of that, after week after week of watching more often than not self indulgent shit, would be an enormous relief. I would send the guy a thank you with a request for more, perhaps grass growing, or clouds moving across the sky or water dripping into a barrel anything but another shit Hollywood reboot, oh the humanity.
Yet, mind bogglingly enough it is still way simpler than trying to fix windows registry. Mind you fuck up about:config and the browser stops working, Windows registry fucks itself up and you computer stops working. Want to keep a computer working, always dual boot and that way you can boot to Linux to fix your gaming and browsing machine. I have managed to keep windows 7 going since getting this computer without a reinstall by that very method. Damn being able to edit a text file makes like so much easier when it comes to fixing a broken OS or broken program. Having to reinstall a program or and entire OS and every program you have because you couldn't edit a text file is fucking nuts. One five minute edit versus hours and hours of reinstall, oh, yeah that edit is so very, very hard.
The whole idea is in and of itself crazy. Cuba should buy stuff made in China from the US because, 'er' 'um', they will be made to suffer if they do not. Reality is Cuba wants US sanctions to end because it affects Cuba's trade with other countries. Sure they'll be polite and buy some stuff from the US and allow US tourists in but they would be stupid to allow the US government to take total control over their communications infrastructure. Main goal, to be able to completely silence the country, should the US 'er' when the US, wishes to initiate a US led coup. Until such time as they can force a group of Cubans in Cuba to cheer the new democratic government (US controlled puppet government). Until there is significant change in the US government they would be foolish to allow them back in, in any significant way. First sign of real change withdrawal from Guantanamo Bay, instead of current planning for regime change.
OF course right now with M$ Windows anal probe 10, is a really, really good time to push privacy. Likely it will earn Apple a substantial surge in the desktop and notebook marketplace (there is bugger all share to be made out of M$ losephone, what ever they choose to call it). You can expect Apple to do a lot more advertising based around privacy and trust and it will really hurt M$.
The Irish government all also scum for stealing the social welfare of other countries citizens, as that theft reduces tax, revenues, citizens get reduced services and suffer and die. Ireland the filthy scum are feeding off the life blood of other countries citizens and they will pay a major price for that one day and that day is not that far off. It is not the tax cheating companies use Ireland, it is Ireland in the most corrupt fashion imaginable parasitically feeding off other countries economies.
It is always against the law to not report a crime, you are charged with accessory after the fact. The law they are claiming is extraordinarily dangerous, it basically demands an IT professional must prove they did not see child pornography whilst working on computer system. So exactly what kind of evidence is required to prove you did not see something? Good luck IT people with lots of money to confiscate ie proceeds from protecting child porn, who is going to get the benefit of the doubt, the new high performance police vehicle fleet or some nobody IT staffers.
They are not idiots, they knew exactly what their greed was doing and they were witnessing the outcomes, their response, meh fuck those idiots paying us and paying our taxes, more money for us. Shallow scum supported by corrupt governments, their greed killing people.
They hide to keep the show going and not corrupt it. Flip side of the argument, we get one chance in the total history of the galaxy to make it, to reach out to the stars, to become our own advanced society and to interfere would be steal that chance, to deny us our own identity and to express our own culture. Just because we routinely do that shitty stuff to each other does not mean that a far more mature stable race would do it to us, supplant their culture upon us by force. You can readily imagine how strict the rules would be about interference about ruining a once in the history of the galaxy show, about taking away something they likely will not have experience for millions of years, the stuff of legend, from primitive creature to space colonising society. A thousand advanced societies setting the rules for restricted interaction with the species (staving off possible extinction events to keep it going), mind you they will have practised this, in terms of ancient history many times. Stop thinking of aliens as some kind of blob. Think of them as individuals, curious, creative, imaginative individuals, who thrive upon feeding that, just as we do. So argument is whether to help and minimise suffering or allow us the opportunity to do what they have done become our own galactic species (watching the spectacle of that of course has a very powerful impact on the balance of helping or not helping).
How about google executives responding from their prison cells via their lawyers. Now that is the proper headline for multi-million dollar tax cheats. Keep in mind, mass cheating in taxes, results in austerity, where the poorest pay for the richest cheating by suffering and dying as a result of reduced social services and all those involved know this, their greed is killing people.
How's this for tip number one. Logically if they have the technology to make it here, they will also likely have the technology to hide being here (as evidenced by slow but sure advances in our own stealth technology), so logically if they are seen it is only because they want to be seen. The only logical reason for them being here, of course the great show we are putting on, now that's some real reality TV, assuming advances in technology, 3D sensorama, feel what the short hair crested rock throwing monkey people feel. As for communicating look up into the sky and https://www.youtube.com/watch?..., try to avoid the stabby bits but don't forget to be entertaining.
All in all still really childish to be scared into denial (please on please let there be no aliens in a universe of galaxies, or so sillily arrogant, oh yeah we are so special only we can exist in an entire fucking galaxy, uh huh ). Where life can exist it will and where environmental conditions promote the advantage of the adaptability of intelligence over slower physical evolution it will. When societies can advance sufficiently to travel the stars without destroying itself they will. Our location and the age of the galaxy, means the math puts us very, very (billions of years) late in the game. Suck it up and grow up, what does it mean, not much at all, live, eat, work, fuck, sleep, die. You can bet, logically they will not want the show to end, that mass carnage without being directly involved in it, would be a thing of fascination. What will the crazy monkey people do next, blow themselves up with nukes, GMO themselves to death with a bad mutation, render their planet uninhabitable for themselves, maybe they take bets, maybe they have their favourites, maybe they can pry right in there with quantum remote sensing at a distance (in that case giddyup dobin and make the ride interesting).
Then again just http://johnfenzel.typepad.com/..., if it makes you feel better, so be it. Likely wont alter the entertainment value at all, just make it last longer and just like us, we never want our favourite shows to end, our favourite characters dying off (even when the emotions are so fulfilling) and then love to discuss what has happened and tried to guess what will happen next. A possible audience of trillions, which mean thousands might find any one of particular one of you fascinating, still likely dibs for the best rides.
Straight up doing a Hollywood reboot. Reputation is crap, they are trusted by no one in the rest of the world, they really have soiled themselves and as such working with others has become very difficult. So they are forced to at least publicly attempt to rebuild their image, of course based upon the lies, years and years worth of lives, that rebuilding of reputation is going to be extraordinarily difficult. To enable working with others again, specifically in defensive roles, likely they will have to be stripped of those defensive roles and those roles passed onto another agency, mix of FBI and FCC. The shrunken NSA in offensive roles, only, as suits their lack of character, can go back to hiding behind No Such Agency, in far smaller premises and the FBI and FCC can over the existing structure.
the real problem with the handling of it by the FBI is severity, degree of criminal action. Clearly the most severe, the highest degree of criminal activity is producing that kind of sexual abuse, by far and away the worst element of the crime and what should be the focus, using existing material to find the victims and then hunt down the abusers. Next up in severity is distribution of the content, distribution for reward worse than distribution for free, that would be the FBIs crime in this case, the reward being salary and promotions, very problematic as it is far worse crime than accessing what the FBI provided, technically they provided this as the legal authority and hence have the greater burden of guilt than those who downloaded and this done technically with FBI authority and approval, pretending to be someone else does not change who you are. Accessing the content by far the lesser of the criminal activities but in reality generally speaking it will likely not be the only criminal activity of the person who access that type of content, with a reasonable probability of them also producing additional content, distributing content and also accessing it from other sources (accessing similar content from other sources very important in the prosecution, as it reduces the FBI distribution to gaining sufficient legal evidence to obtain a search warrant rather than as the only source of prosecution, which the FBI enabled and by action approved, they being the greater legal authority than a run of the mill citizen. I wonder if the FBI are following through on the prosecution where their content was the only content in the possession of the perpetrator or just issuing a warning and only prosecution for other content, subsequent discovery of distribution and for producing more. Entrapment only really becomes as issue should they advertise the content, rather than perprators seeking it out, for an existing site of course, not that great a problem as long as they stop advertising it. Of course those perpetrators who accessed content from other sites could provide an excellent source of information to find other distributors in order to pursue those who create this kind of content, something which was likely the real focus of the exercise, pursue it back down the line in order to follow it back up line to other sources (something they logically will not talk about if they wish to repeat the same activity with other discovered sources, they could effectively keep it going for quite some time, big fish, minnows, lots of white bait, minnows, big fish, minnows, lots of white bait etc.). Also they can clean out people who do not belong in trusted positions, people who can be very dangerously compromised willing to do anything not to be exposed for who they really are. All in all, some very necessary policing activity.
So will VR headsets end up being used more for high immersion 3D content viewing than gaming, thus making the smart phone with high storage capacity and networking more functional. Don't bother staring at a tiny screen, link in multiple head sets, disable or even completely avoid the motion sensors and away you all go (get rid of those sensors and simply use a hand control to look around in immersive 3D environments, you could even just use the sensors in the phone). Keep in mind when it comes to sitting back and relaxing you do not want to be twitching you head about or even lying in, in bed, your really do want you head resting in place and your neck completely relaxed and looking about by lightly flexing your mostly resting hand eww if you thinking about your hand doing other things.
The Russian rouble has come under repeated short term attacks by western oligarchs, that always collapse. Russian has many many things far more valuable then inherently vaporous fiat currencies, the resources to back their currency. The rouble will collapse when their resources start to vaporise at the same rate 'money' can, I believe the sun would need to explode for that to happen.
What is happening is a new more cohesive association is forming between countries outside the control of the US government and western oligarchs and bluff and bluster all they want they can do nothing to stop it.
Apparently everyone that disagrees with the US government or more accurately the US Military Industrial Complex is now a Russian agent, double plus if you mention NATO (North American Territorial Occupation force, triple plus I guess for doing that). Oddly enough you can be considered loyal and treasonous at the same time depending upon a particular viewpoint based upon whether you ally with the majority in government or the corrupt corporate minority (reality is you are always treasonous when you conspire with that corporate minority).
The better question is, well, if they were only used for debugging and you obviously were fully aware of their purpose and functionality, 'er', why the fuck were they not removed from production units. Why the hell would you need a debugging account in something you were never ever going to debug? The only sane logical answer, it was left in on purpose just because power trip by the morons at the top and billions to be made on insider trading. Hacks on top of hacks on top of hacks, insider trading feeding by far the majority of it.
No, they are stealing from everyone. By stealing from the public domain and then claiming it as your own, you are in fact fraudulently stealing from everyone by claiming copyright rules to enable you to actively destroy other peoples content. This based upon the false claim they stole original content from you, in spite of the reality when that they claim to draw it from the same original public domain content, this for no other reason that corrupt greed.
By stealing first you can build up a financial war chest to pay lawyers to destroy struggling newcomers (no point in them proving to steal it from the same original source as, well, they also have to give it back to the public the falsely claimed content).
There is more of a logical twist in the growth of human conflict. In more social minded era, the desire to not kill fellow humans resulted in the most server punishment being permanent exile from the tribe and the individual being left eventual die alone exposed to the wilderness without any support. This tended to work fine until population densities became high enough so that exiles could find each. So the inevitably psychopathic plotting a scheming kicked it and results in the obvious, the take over of a normal tribe and killing off many males, enslaving the rest and raping of the females and a new psychopathic tribe was created (the penultimate example being spartans and the helots, warrior and slave culture). Cant have to many psychopaths otherwise they of course tear themselves apart and of course the lazy fuckers don't want to do any real work, just beat people up until they do the work for them and of course rape women as a leisure activity.
Inevitably as psychopath numbers grew by rape, so those psychopathic tribes either attacked and took over other tribes or self destructed. Something that still be can be seen to this day. The psychopaths grow in percentage and either continue to expand the range of the society they control or those societies collapse due to excessive predation on the environment or on the non psychopaths who do all the work (they continually need to bring in more non psychopaths to do the work as they are bred out, for being less competitive in psychopathic societies, so increased territory or immigration). The greater the proportion of psychopaths the quicker the collapse, unless growth is maintained, the greater the number the worse and far more violent the outcome, it is just their inherent genetic nature (those same genetic anti-social defects can and do occur in other species and those individual are similarly ostracised but lack the ability to collude togethor to take over via murder and reproduce via rape).
The most awful glaring modern example of this, American Republicans refusing abortions for victims of rape, an inherent requirement of the psychopathic reproduction cycle (in modern terms either direct rape or economic rape, using economic dominance to force unwilling reproduction partners to breed with psychopaths).
It is learning for fun done be professionals. That is not a bad thing, that is in fact a great thing and far better than the stupidity of going to a strip club, or some lame island tourist trap or a sex cruise. All idiot narcissist marketing aside, something which main stream media thrives on, selling stupid to idiots to waste their money, this is a real and profound change or more accurately a reversion to more logical values espoused early in the last century prior to the advent of lead in fuels (screw you Thomas Midgley junior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...).
Learning sabaticals as holidays used to be all the rage for intellectual professionals but something went disastrously wrong and the air head entertainers and their sexual proclivity took over and was hugely and ludicrously distorted into being something of high social value (without the lead, this would never have occurred, ahh, lead in the pencil http://www.sex-lexis.com/-Dict..., so profoundly accurate, had to get lead in the big head so that the little head could take over, visible all over main stream media and stupidly cheered on).
Talk about off track. I did not say all programs need to be public just those programs that would affect the vote and as such the government is not allowed to spend money on electioneering by keeping secret those things that would affect the democracy. Right there in pretty much every countries constitution, the government is not allowed to use it's offices for electioneering purposes, elected officials are not allowed to use tax payer funds to stay in power, that is a sure sign of the end of democracy. Basically affects the vote and the citizens have a right to know, would not affect the vote and for national security reasons needs to be temporarily secret then fine but that information must also be released as soon as practicable. The electorate has a constitutional right to know anything that will affect their democratic choice.
Your premise that government is allowed to keep secrets about lies they tell the public to keep in power, is just so horribly corrupt. Keep secrets about criminal actions they have taken. Keep secrets about citizens lives they have illegally taken. Keep secrets about mass corruption in government. Keep secrets, well, when you get that bad why bother keeping secrets at all, just kill everyone that disagrees with you, worked for the old monarchy, so try it on for your new monarchy.
Don't think of it as permanent more temporary pending Google's acceptance to ensure that Google gets a significant head start and can establish it prior to releasing to a broader market. So code would be released should Google decide not to go ahead or released some time shorter before Google releases a product, to hype up the marketing and promote acceptance. All about Google getting a head start.
Excellent but really lame misdirection and straw man, seriously WTF does "beer, wine, cheese, jams, pickles, canning", have to do with the shelf life of exposed raw product, well nothing of course. Where as incorporating resistance to biological breakdown does have an enormous impact on our digestive tract, just as it impacts any else wishing to consume those raw (pay attention there PR troll) product, the longer raw product last the harder it is to digest (not to be confused with the lack of moisture, seriously how stupid a statement can you make, well lets soak those "Grains, pulses, and nuts" in distilled water and see how long they last exposed only to the agents already on them). Shelf life is all about profitability, along with ripening in a shed rather than on the plant and fuck the people eating as long as they pay.
The firmware hacking is not permanent but simply used to punch a hole into the system, once the system has been compromised the firmware hack is removed so as to limit exposure. Very few people would notice the change in bios load times and thus notice entry, penetration and removal. I suppose at least they tidy up after themselves not for the targets benefit but of course to limit hack exposure which can only happen with corporate cooperation (so the likes of say Dell or M$ quite simply can no longer be considered trusted suppliers and outside of the US they could be considered criminal enterprises for willingly participating in espionage activities for profit).
You really missed the whole Trump thing. Trump is a developer, a developer is in desperate need of customers. For developers of residential properties their single main market is the middle class, a rich middle class that can afford to buy apartments. That is where Trump makes his billions, not in the military industrial complex, for him a waste because that money spent on better infrastructure hugely increase the value of the properties supported by that infrastructure. So Trump will inherently push all those things that benefit him financially and one of this things is a rich middle class (excluding constructions workers of course). So more higher paying middle class jobs, the profit Trump can make on major residential developments. Keep in mind he has been driven bankrupt quite a few times basically by those who sought to inflate their profits at the expense of Trumps customers which killed demand and his profits.
Overall not very stable thinking but still better than those invested in the military industrial complex and the endless expansion of NATO until it occupies the entire planet and then the gloves come off (no profit in that for Trump at all). The weird system that is the US government is driven by the individual profit centres of the major corporations and they do compete for the cash and what benefits one often harms the other. More money spent on military and less on infrastructure does a lot of harm to Trumps profits, just the same as outsourcing high paying (potential apartment investing) jobs, substantially reduced demand.
So Trump bad but oddly enough his personal greed suits the middle class, just that other dangerous decisions would likely be made but then congress and senate would still be owned by other corporate players severely limiting outcomes. In a disturbing way, Trump is the second best choice after Bernie Sanders, a long, long way after Bernie Sanders.

Don't bother staring at a tiny screen, link in multiple head sets, disable or even completely avoid the motion sensors and away you all go (get rid of those sensors and simply use a hand control to look around in immersive 3D environments, you could even just use the sensors in the phone). Keep in mind when it comes to sitting back and relaxing you do not want to be twitching you head about or even lying in, in bed, your really do want you head resting in place and your neck completely relaxed and looking about by lightly flexing your mostly resting hand eww if you thinking about your hand doing other things.
The Russian rouble has come under repeated short term attacks by western oligarchs, that always collapse. Russian has many many things far more valuable then inherently vaporous fiat currencies, the resources to back their currency. The rouble will collapse when their resources start to vaporise at the same rate 'money' can, I believe the sun would need to explode for that to happen.
What is happening is a new more cohesive association is forming between countries outside the control of the US government and western oligarchs and bluff and bluster all they want they can do nothing to stop it.
Apparently everyone that disagrees with the US government or more accurately the US Military Industrial Complex is now a Russian agent, double plus if you mention NATO (North American Territorial Occupation force, triple plus I guess for doing that). Oddly enough you can be considered loyal and treasonous at the same time depending upon a particular viewpoint based upon whether you ally with the majority in government or the corrupt corporate minority (reality is you are always treasonous when you conspire with that corporate minority).
The better question is, well, if they were only used for debugging and you obviously were fully aware of their purpose and functionality, 'er', why the fuck were they not removed from production units. Why the hell would you need a debugging account in something you were never ever going to debug? The only sane logical answer, it was left in on purpose just because power trip by the morons at the top and billions to be made on insider trading. Hacks on top of hacks on top of hacks, insider trading feeding by far the majority of it.
No, they are stealing from everyone. By stealing from the public domain and then claiming it as your own, you are in fact fraudulently stealing from everyone by claiming copyright rules to enable you to actively destroy other peoples content. This based upon the false claim they stole original content from you, in spite of the reality when that they claim to draw it from the same original public domain content, this for no other reason that corrupt greed.
By stealing first you can build up a financial war chest to pay lawyers to destroy struggling newcomers (no point in them proving to steal it from the same original source as, well, they also have to give it back to the public the falsely claimed content).
There is more of a logical twist in the growth of human conflict. In more social minded era, the desire to not kill fellow humans resulted in the most server punishment being permanent exile from the tribe and the individual being left eventual die alone exposed to the wilderness without any support. This tended to work fine until population densities became high enough so that exiles could find each. So the inevitably psychopathic plotting a scheming kicked it and results in the obvious, the take over of a normal tribe and killing off many males, enslaving the rest and raping of the females and a new psychopathic tribe was created (the penultimate example being spartans and the helots, warrior and slave culture). Cant have to many psychopaths otherwise they of course tear themselves apart and of course the lazy fuckers don't want to do any real work, just beat people up until they do the work for them and of course rape women as a leisure activity.
Inevitably as psychopath numbers grew by rape, so those psychopathic tribes either attacked and took over other tribes or self destructed. Something that still be can be seen to this day. The psychopaths grow in percentage and either continue to expand the range of the society they control or those societies collapse due to excessive predation on the environment or on the non psychopaths who do all the work (they continually need to bring in more non psychopaths to do the work as they are bred out, for being less competitive in psychopathic societies, so increased territory or immigration). The greater the proportion of psychopaths the quicker the collapse, unless growth is maintained, the greater the number the worse and far more violent the outcome, it is just their inherent genetic nature (those same genetic anti-social defects can and do occur in other species and those individual are similarly ostracised but lack the ability to collude togethor to take over via murder and reproduce via rape).
The most awful glaring modern example of this, American Republicans refusing abortions for victims of rape, an inherent requirement of the psychopathic reproduction cycle (in modern terms either direct rape or economic rape, using economic dominance to force unwilling reproduction partners to breed with psychopaths).
It is learning for fun done be professionals. That is not a bad thing, that is in fact a great thing and far better than the stupidity of going to a strip club, or some lame island tourist trap or a sex cruise. All idiot narcissist marketing aside, something which main stream media thrives on, selling stupid to idiots to waste their money, this is a real and profound change or more accurately a reversion to more logical values espoused early in the last century prior to the advent of lead in fuels (screw you Thomas Midgley junior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...).
Learning sabaticals as holidays used to be all the rage for intellectual professionals but something went disastrously wrong and the air head entertainers and their sexual proclivity took over and was hugely and ludicrously distorted into being something of high social value (without the lead, this would never have occurred, ahh, lead in the pencil http://www.sex-lexis.com/-Dict..., so profoundly accurate, had to get lead in the big head so that the little head could take over, visible all over main stream media and stupidly cheered on).
Talk about off track. I did not say all programs need to be public just those programs that would affect the vote and as such the government is not allowed to spend money on electioneering by keeping secret those things that would affect the democracy. Right there in pretty much every countries constitution, the government is not allowed to use it's offices for electioneering purposes, elected officials are not allowed to use tax payer funds to stay in power, that is a sure sign of the end of democracy. Basically affects the vote and the citizens have a right to know, would not affect the vote and for national security reasons needs to be temporarily secret then fine but that information must also be released as soon as practicable. The electorate has a constitutional right to know anything that will affect their democratic choice.
Your premise that government is allowed to keep secrets about lies they tell the public to keep in power, is just so horribly corrupt. Keep secrets about criminal actions they have taken. Keep secrets about citizens lives they have illegally taken. Keep secrets about mass corruption in government. Keep secrets, well, when you get that bad why bother keeping secrets at all, just kill everyone that disagrees with you, worked for the old monarchy, so try it on for your new monarchy.
Don't think of it as permanent more temporary pending Google's acceptance to ensure that Google gets a significant head start and can establish it prior to releasing to a broader market. So code would be released should Google decide not to go ahead or released some time shorter before Google releases a product, to hype up the marketing and promote acceptance. All about Google getting a head start.
Excellent but really lame misdirection and straw man, seriously WTF does "beer, wine, cheese, jams, pickles, canning", have to do with the shelf life of exposed raw product, well nothing of course. Where as incorporating resistance to biological breakdown does have an enormous impact on our digestive tract, just as it impacts any else wishing to consume those raw (pay attention there PR troll) product, the longer raw product last the harder it is to digest (not to be confused with the lack of moisture, seriously how stupid a statement can you make, well lets soak those "Grains, pulses, and nuts" in distilled water and see how long they last exposed only to the agents already on them). Shelf life is all about profitability, along with ripening in a shed rather than on the plant and fuck the people eating as long as they pay.
The firmware hacking is not permanent but simply used to punch a hole into the system, once the system has been compromised the firmware hack is removed so as to limit exposure. Very few people would notice the change in bios load times and thus notice entry, penetration and removal. I suppose at least they tidy up after themselves not for the targets benefit but of course to limit hack exposure which can only happen with corporate cooperation (so the likes of say Dell or M$ quite simply can no longer be considered trusted suppliers and outside of the US they could be considered criminal enterprises for willingly participating in espionage activities for profit).
You really missed the whole Trump thing. Trump is a developer, a developer is in desperate need of customers. For developers of residential properties their single main market is the middle class, a rich middle class that can afford to buy apartments. That is where Trump makes his billions, not in the military industrial complex, for him a waste because that money spent on better infrastructure hugely increase the value of the properties supported by that infrastructure. So Trump will inherently push all those things that benefit him financially and one of this things is a rich middle class (excluding constructions workers of course). So more higher paying middle class jobs, the profit Trump can make on major residential developments. Keep in mind he has been driven bankrupt quite a few times basically by those who sought to inflate their profits at the expense of Trumps customers which killed demand and his profits.
Overall not very stable thinking but still better than those invested in the military industrial complex and the endless expansion of NATO until it occupies the entire planet and then the gloves come off (no profit in that for Trump at all). The weird system that is the US government is driven by the individual profit centres of the major corporations and they do compete for the cash and what benefits one often harms the other. More money spent on military and less on infrastructure does a lot of harm to Trumps profits, just the same as outsourcing high paying (potential apartment investing) jobs, substantially reduced demand.
So Trump bad but oddly enough his personal greed suits the middle class, just that other dangerous decisions would likely be made but then congress and senate would still be owned by other corporate players severely limiting outcomes. In a disturbing way, Trump is the second best choice after Bernie Sanders, a long, long way after Bernie Sanders.
