Returning after ten weeks away, Dr. Dave and Evil Steve announce that Computer Talk is being produced entirely from their new Linux automation computer. They describe the work of cleaning up, connecting and moving a surprisingly large archive of sound files, while the live system immediately gives them new details to watch. Dr. Dave also tells a vivid consulting story about clients confronted by ransomware, fake antivirus and a support number that only appeared to belong to Dell; his enduring advice is to resist the panic that makes people pay or take consequential action before they understand what is happening. The complete show also preserves family football, Dr. Dave's Examiner writing, BlackBerry, iOS 7, Internet privacy, inkjet costs and Kelly's Ride.
