- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 6 hours ago:
That doesn’t at all match the documentation.
The organization will configure a list of Wi-Fi SSIDs. When your device connects to one of those, the Teams location would be updated to “in the office”.
That’s it. No complex triangulation, no pinpoint locating. Just “are you connected to the office network or not”.
Also, if you don’t want to be tracked in this way, just don’t participate. If your organization sets a policy to opt you in automatically, click the option to opt out. If they give the offer to opt in, just don’t.
I know it’s hip to hate on Microsoft, but we should at least discuss things based on the truth, not wild assumptions and misinformation.

I’m gonna need a source for that. I follow SpaceX fairly closely (as a fan of the engineering, not Musk), and I can’t think of where this could possibly be happening, even through a wild misunderstanding of a situation.

- Comment on Microsoft Just Killed the "Cover for Me" Excuse: Microsoft 365 Now Tracks You in Real-Time 4 weeks ago:
The lack of a source in that article led me to go looking for something official. Here’s the MS article on the feature: …microsoft.com/…/configure-auto-detect-work-locat…
What jumped out at me (called out twice in dedicated boxes):
By default, users are opted out of work location detection. Users are prompted to provide consent for automatic location detection in the Teams desktop client on Windows or macOS. It is not possible for admins to consent on users’ behalf.
This just doesn’t seem like as big of a deal as some are making it sound.

Article in 2027:
Keyboard prices soared this month, as tech giants pivoted from failed AI projects to employing hoards of monkeys typing randomly. One CEO was quoted as saying, “Just a few trillion more dollars, and I think our random typing model could reproduce the lost contents of the Library of Alexandria.”
