Tonight on CEP!

  • We're celebrating hitting 7000 downloads by interviewing a really brilliant programmer called K0.
  • We concur on things like the hazards of fake cleaners and futility of consumer VPNs, and how both of us find our 10 year old laptops to be perfectly sufficient even for our advanced work.
  • We discuss how you have the familiar Windows on one side, and the "for developers by developers" Linux on the other. He emphasizes that there is NO NEED for that tradeoff. You CAN have both simplicity and reliability.
  • His volunteer group Raven are creating tools to simplify Windows and remove any treacherous anti-features: Even Windows 11's "New Notepad" has anti-features!
  • They're also making a new desktop environment, or "dashboard" for Windows that brings back the simplicity.
  • We discuss how naggy software should just be simple and blunt about asking for money one time.
  • Finally, we discuss WHY the industry is ruled by a small pile of monopolies.
  • Check out his YouTube channel "TotallyNotK0" to learn about the bloat and how to put a stop to it!

The Computer Exorcist Podcast

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.Visit www.teknosophy.com or www.thecomputerexorcist.com to buy my book "How to Protect Yourself from Your Computer", and support the show by buying something ethical from my recommendations page!NOTE: I have obtained written permission from the bands to use their music!
