0:00.0	Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason
0:06.8	DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame.
0:16.2	Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister.
0:20.1	I'm calling you today for my living room. No good. Why is that? Not my wonderful studio that I've
0:25.3	spent so much time setting up because last week I told you that I you know got a PC to run
0:29.1	the studio. Yes. So I turn it on and you know there's usually windows updates that come out of
0:33.7	those things usually. Yeah. Yeah. Could take quite some time if it's a machine that's been
0:40.1	sitting in a back room somewhere for a while before you bought it. 16 hours. Yeah that sounds about

1:46.7	Every day coming in the morning, they'll be like say 3,700. By the evening, there's 2400.
1:53.7	By the time I go to bed, there's maybe 3000. And then I come back today and it's like 2300.
