We're increasingly dependent on technology. Our business and personal lives rely on it, but as you've probably noticed, it's unreliable. They promise it'll get better, but it usually gets worse. Our computers are slow, so we end up squinting at smartphones. We live in constant fear that something's going to happen to our personal data. So we're scared into paying for fake protection that proves useless when disaster strikes.

The jokers we pay to fix our stuff have no clue what they're doing, so they wipe out our precious photos and tell us to buy a new machine.If we only had someone to explain it all in Plain English, so we can start protecting ourselves. If only, we had... The Computer Exorcist Podcast, with your host, Marc-Anthony Arena!

This show is for intelligent people who are intimidated by technology, and think it's somehow their fault. Once people learn what the industry is doing to them, they're ready to get torches and pitchforks.

We expose Update Attacks, Fake WiFi, Cloud Control, and many more industry scandals that are designed to keep the gravy train flowing.

Oh yeah, and we also do a little bit of scambaiting! We answer calls from phone scammers and torment them until they pop.

    139 Grand Captain Speedy Dash
    2026/05/22

    This morning on CEP!

    • I interview rising star YouTube gamer "Grand Captain Speedy Dash" (best gamer name ever)
    • Yes, rather than watch TV shows, young people now watch each other play video games
    • We discuss the upstart Amico console, inspired by Intellivision and Wii
    • We then explain the DRM scandal and read excerpts from my forthcoming book!
    • Any music, movies, or video games that are infected with DRM mean they're completely dependent on their creators, and can be rendered useless at any time.
    • Since it can never prevent piracy, logically, it can only punish those who were trying to do the right thing and support the authors.
    • The Captain brings up two great quotes from Gabe Newell, founder of Steam:
    • "Privacy is not a pricing problem, it's a service problem."
    • "Does nothing, still wins." pointing out that doing nothing is sometimes the right thing to do!
    • So what's the answer to DRM? We explore some of the solutions that will help make life easier for those trying to do the right thing.
    • Finally, we discuss Denuvo, a DRM company whose technology is repeatedly bypased very easily. It is an excellent example that highlights the utter futility of it.

    Thanks for listening and grab a preview edition of the book at TheComputerExorcist.com !

    138 Buy Them and Crush Them
    2026/05/09

    This morning on CEP!

    • We discuss the retirement of Microsoft's chronically insecure Internet Explorer, and what it was mainly used for.
    • Volkswagen wants to set up EV battery recycling plants throughout Europe, and a comment from a techie that left us pleasantly surprised
    • VW's 2026 ID.Buzz electric microbus takes a break - learn why I think they'll become collector's items!
    • Microsoft created the Surface Tablet, an extremely thin and sleek laptop the size of a tablet. It was great, but brittle as a graham cracker. Then in the early 2020s, the KANO PC came along. It was fairly easy for kids to build and repair and learn on, was very rugged, and cost a fraction of the price of Surface. How do you think Microsoft reacted?
    • Do you have home movies on video tape? Learn about Media Transfer Service and Kodak Digitizing
    • How Facebook was caught sucking private medical information from hospital websites!

    I just realized I made this summary more intriguing instead of just giving away all the answers! We'll see if it brings in more views!

    • A group of Swedes measured how long it took to perform an operation on a modern car's touchscreen menu system versus traditional dashboard buttons.
    • Tech enthusiasts who use all the latest and greatest... versus those who actually know what's going on.
    • What does social media do to our brains, and what is the very accessible antidote?
