À propos de ce contenu audio

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.

      Jan 8 2026

      Tonight on CEP! It's a New Year's Special Edition TaS Episode!


      • Rather than the usual Foghorn Leghorn, I told all the scammers today I was Eddie Munster. Hilarity ensues, for us.
      • I made the first (Medicare) scammer sigh right off the bat.
      • The next one, a paypal impostor, says i can call him James. So i call him anything but. He tried telling me that "hack-kers from Michigan" took my bitcoins using "micro viruses", and other wild fake tech terms to dazzle me. He said they tried to get into my "serwer" so i said "What? They got into my Star Wars?" My personal favorite is the part where I describe the Firefox icon on my screen. When he tells me to download his evil UltraViewer software, I take him on an ADD-fueled wild ride.
      • The next two are car insurance/warranty scammers who asked what car I drove, so I told them i drove some classics.
      • The next one is a cable company scammer calling herself Lydia, so i call her Medea. She offers me a fake discount, so I whip out the calculator and got her so confused, that she agreed to apply the discount twice.
      • Saving the best for last, everybody's favorite scambaiter returns! Karl Mailchimp created another persona, a pierogi farmer named Ross Pierogi. The scammer alleges that someone stole his credit card, so he plays along with that on-the-fly, ad-libbing, creative genius we've come to expect. Wait til you get to the part where the guy tries to spell "help desk host" to him.


      As always, please warn your friends about phone scams by sharing this episode! Visit becomeanexorcist.com to join the good fight.

      Tonight on CEP! It's a year-end roundup of article headlines!

      • WSJ decided to allow Claude AI to run its office vending machine. Chaos ensued. They must not have read the article where Claude's own creators had the same results.
      • Accounting firms buying virtual office buildings in the Metaverse... a place where people grope each other.
      • Robot vacuums receive update attacks that cause them to get drunk and bump into your furniture... while toasters from the 1940s keep working.
      • Is Ninite really the ONLY tool for safe downloads?
      • Michael Dell is thoughtful and charitable... the opposite of the arrogant, reckless technocrats.
      • Microsoft ditches Bungie, but keeps Halo. Sony buys Bungie and tightens control over them.

      Dec 11 2025

      Tonight on CEP! My special guest is Rochester's own Warren Buff-It! No, he's not the Oracle of Omaha, but he details cars for the stars. We discuss:

      • Some of us aren't cut out for corporate, and that's okay!
      • Starting a small business, being free to be who you were meant to be, planting seeds, and leaving a legacy.
      • Chasing dollars versus being your passion
      • Preserving your reputation
      • Tons of menus but nobody can figure out the heated seats or radios
      • Squeezing the balloon
      • CarBravo, GM's surprisingly good answer to Carvana
      • New car screens as the latest way to over-stimulate and control
      • The thankful demise of in-dash app stores that bring you to Dunkin Donuts
      • Captive audience vs Taking care of people
      • Country songs about self-driving trucks
      • How Bluetooth car locks can be easily hacked - and how one journalist took a potshot at Tesla
      • Cloud-controlled cars, and the unsurprising news that GM user accounts were hacked
      • The gorgeous Mercedes EQXX goes 626 miles on a single charge, with juice to spare! Where did they go wrong with the production model?
      • BMW's IDrive 8 - how it took everything from version 7 and threw it out the window, proving yet again that most software gets worse with each new version.
      • And finally, some of the coolest cars Warren has detailed over the years.

      Help raise awareness for cloud-controlled cars! Tell your friends about the show!
