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.

    144 Do you believe in Karma?
    2026/07/08

    Tonight on CEP! I realized I haven't published a Torment a Scammer episode in a while, so here you go!

    • Foghorn Leghorn gets a call saying he won $2.5M and a (used?) Mercedes-AMG! The scammer said he was "American Cash Awards" then said he was Bank of America.
    • Our next perpetrator is Nancy, whom I call "Mancy". She sent me an email from "@pple Support", which is of course an attempt to get through spam filters. She told me I had a "security problem" where I clicked on an ad which allowed a hacker to connect to my computer. She's actually not far from the truth, but conveniently omitted that SHE'S the one making these ads that DECEIVE people into thinking they have security problems. She then told me about her "secure server" which is actually the tool she uses to break into people's computers. While waiting to connect to "senior technician", we got a chance to get to know each other. I commended her for her efforts and reminded her about karma.
    • The last one sends me an email saying my "Appl Pay" has been used at an "Appl Store". Of course he couldn't tell me which product or store. When he asked me what browser I have, I described the Firefox icon in the best possible way. Toward the end he suspected I was a YouTuber...

    As always, hilarity ensues. Thanks for sharing this episode with your friends, and stay tuned for the book, coming out very soon at thecomputerexorcist.com

    143 What Has Come to Fruition
    2026/07/03

    This morning on CEP! We plow through more "ketchup" articles.

    We give thanks for some treacherous ones that never came true:

    • The NTSB wanted to implement breathalyzers in all new cars. It would add massive cost and complexity, blow false alarms, and of course those who want to get around it will find a way.
    • NY State wanted to implement "intelllligent speeed assistance" in cars, in other words auto-attack if it thought you went too fast.

    We also celebrate two really good ones that are still thriving:

    • Toyota's hydrogen engine for semi trucks: Why reinvent the wheel when you can just make a new engine for preexisting trucks!
    • The Fairphone - a phone that's not glued together and not designed to die ASAP. You're encouraged to repair it and use it as long as possible!

    and two of the usual:

    • AI designing your next car.
    • An article from 2015 that exposes how Microsoft tried to retrofit its nagware and legal spyware into its older products.

    The book should be coming out this month! Get the preview edition on PDF at thecomputerexorcist.com

    142 Beating a Dead Seat
    2026/06/22

    Tonight on CEP!

    • Marc finds an article that explains the extreme disparity between backward, slow, reactionary government, and ultra-rapid Silicon Valley. Disaster will ensue.
    • BMW's unpopular heated seat subscription service surfaces in South Korea.
    • The delusional "recurring revenue" cult spreads to other automakers.
    • What's going to save us? Laws that prohibit rentals? That would just create tons of chaos. So what's going to save us? I've got the answer.
    • Unbeknownst to most of humanity, every picture you take is usually sucked into a cloud service. Lately, the cloud service is starting to peruse your photos and accuse you of things as it sees fit. Disaster ensues.

    The book, now titled "Don't Be Taken by Big Tech", is coming out soon, to a book retailer near you! Grab a preview at thecomputerexorcist.com
