Pretty unlikely they’re doing anything other than BTLE (bluetooth low energy) and mobile device tracking, like absolutely all other “tag” trackers. Anything else would require enormous batteries in the tags.
If you told me 10 years ago that people would be falling over themselves to PAY to build Orwellian tracking network on behalf of corporations for no reason at all I’d have called you completely insane.
I haven’t had anything beyond a hug from my mother in 10 years.
A boss of mine some time ago would sneak up and pat me on the back, scaring me most of the time. Back then I hated it.
These days something like that would make my whole week.
I’m not even surprised any more. I take a bold guess at what absolutely hideous shit I’ll read today and I’m still always surprised.
You’re delusional. Have a nice day though.
Good news! The original comment provides that!
software that does actions without the user’s permission or knowledge
Do you trust Microsoft? If you do I might suggest we find you a nice quiet padded room.
Imagine someone attempted to (or even succeeded in) pushing malicious (or even just poor, “bad” code into the kernel. What do you suppose would happen?
Oh wait we don’t have to imagine. Some people tried, and got admonished publicly.

There’s a word for software that does actions without the user’s permission or knowledge.
That word is MALWARE
Idiot magnet deployed, sir!
I Sincerely hope you logged back in to outlook.com after to reject all permissions and tear out your data/accounts
What a fucking pathetic flex
When they’re unwanted, on the network 500 ft away, you’d like your laptop to install those drivers?
11 now basically ARP scans any network you join, adds things like HP printers found on the LAN to Device Manager, as"unknown device" in some situations, likely auto installing drivers in others.
Can’t think of a better example of malware.
Stay in school and don’t use Windows.
It also gave those trash people the feeling of “look I’m not alone” and amplified all of it. At least before people were worried about being seen as a fuckwit.
I for one celebrate the inevitable crash/death of all this social media. It’s turned normal people into unacceptable drooling trash. That is if you’re able to ignore the data collection and use of it, in which case it turned the whole internet into a dumpster fire as well.
Maybe I’m misremembering when the old 4100 series dropped, but it was the last of the really great monsters they built.
Kick ass, Good job
