  It would give them a boost if the cable cutting were continuosly occurring to a point of crippling then they may turn back the clock to what they have in military installations that’s an Intranet a closed network but closed because they choose for it to be it doesn’t actually have to be if they host large servers in areas that work on a local area connection (LAN) and users connect to those servers to effectively use the internet you could have frontend user interfaces to pick and choose services a search engine and file server etc etc, you could ramp up large scale wifi and or satellite dish style relays or large Antenna array equivelencies of such a thing capable of sending out the signal across an entire country and possibly beyond that…in fact theoretically it would be far safer to do that than having the current setup we use, provided encryption was extremely high p2p end to end as well, it would be a case of if the owner says no you don’t get in unless then you don’t, at that stage unless your in the country on site physically to incercept the transmitted data and break the code to access it any way then you can’t use it thus international countries cannot communicate or attack on it or inside of it, they just transmit the data outbound to other countries as and when required not feed everything through cables that every person ccan physically cut or attack the users passing along them it would prevent data being intercepted for the most part . The speeds would be confined to the relays speed and your connecting devices bandwidths as well so potentially ultra fast as well if the hardware improved further, that’s is a way of loosing cables for good doing that at the same time theoretically. It will not happen though the world would say enough’s enough before that stage of cable destruction were possible to achieve by the Russian’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it possible for the IT experts to recover data that was erased from a hard drive when the storage of said hard drive appears empty?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because as long as it isn’t overwritten it can sometimes reside in a residual way in the storage sectors on the drive, these hdd scanning software’s check through the sectors for data hiding in them some sucxessfully some not as successfully, there for some will find more or less data than others do as well.

  This is why data disappears on drives as well when a physical issue causes the sectors of the drive to begin to stop working aka “bad sectors” this makes the data start to seemingly magically vanish or corrupt if it’s still operating and booting into windows you can at times witness the data/folders and or files present in folders one moment and missing fron the OS the next, that’s an indictator often of an imminent drive failure due to bad sectors often.
