5 Industry Scandals

from The Computer Exorcist Podcast Hosted by Marc-Anthony Arena

Today we talk about industry scandals! Bloatware: Factory-installed software designed to slow the machine down. The Forced Obsolescence Rat Race, aka Support Cash Grab Schemes: Making you think you need a new computer because yours is "out of support". Combo Boxes & Fake WiFi: Internet providers usually bring a powerful connection to your house, but then cut it by 99% with Fake Wifi. Smart TVs: They control and monitor what you watch, record what you say at home, and receive torpedo attacks so they stop working after two years. PASSWORDS: Keep your passwords on a REAL piece of paper! Avoid complex passwords since they can ONLY serve to confuse YOU. Bad guys don't sit around guessing people's passwords; they simply break into companies and steal a list of them in one fell swoop.
