Since consumers hate AI, the only way to keep the bubble going is by pivotting hard to selling worker surveillance software to businesses and trying to normalize the culture of it, Microsoft is a loser company.

Previously, Teams already offered the option to manually set the work location. This is intended, for example, to help colleagues orient themselves in a large office complex or on a campus. With the upcoming update, this process will be automated by the software determining – likely by comparing details such as the IP address or MAC address of the router – whether one is actually on-site.

ahahahaha what a bullshit excuse

  1. No way it's accurate to a single room
  2. This would have to be set up by the company. There's no way to automatically detect room from a specific AP or whatever.
