Speaking as someone on the IT side (albeit as a sysadmin, not help desk), it’s because we don’t trust you. We’ve been burned enough times by believing a user that says that of course they’ve already rebooted/run the usual command/updated recently. We want to verify that this is true. We also want to see if there are any error messages or other unexpected behaviour that you immediately dismissed and failed to mention.

Longest February in history

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.

This feels like a spot-the-difference thing, and I’m failing badly. I can’t tell what changed.

I would only get concerned when she starts putting them up on the front of government buildings

They’re a troll that just goes around posting nonsense. Don’t feed them.

Of course. He was the most famous prognoseticator.

Sorry, no, it was maybe a month or two ago. I think it was for something like insurance or some sort of service.

I saw a TV ad where they AI generated a man sitting at a kitchen counter looking at his phone for about 5 seconds. There was absolutely nothing wild about the scene, just a person sitting there being human. Rather than pay some random real guy a small amount of money, they AI-slopped it. It was thankfully obvious that it was AI, but it just seemed so unnecessary.
