it would really be useful if i could figure out why they're coming in here like this.

their remote surveillance was bogging down and crashing my machine, which is too slow to run the software they were pushing down and still be functional as a gateway device.

there's obviously some kind of misunderstanding, if they think they can find something on my hard drives. there's nothing to find. really.

but, if i understood what the point was, i could maybe take some steps to prove the point to get them to fuck off.

everything else aside, having somebody strip the password off of your cmos is invasive. i feel like i just got raped, basically. the password was there because i don't give random people that are in my apartment without my knowledge permission to snoop through my files, if that needed to be stated. and, i strongly doubt they got a warrant for that, either.

they're out of control. i go out to mail a motion to toronto on a police brutality case, and the cops break into my computer when i'm gone. how much more absurd...

but, all i can do is sort through what's here and see what evidence they left and hope it wasn't too disruptive. as though everything else happening isn't overwhelmingly disruptive :\.

i flipped the cmos battery this morning, so it's been draining all day and should be clear when i turn it back on.
