Any source that YouTube is the reason that Edge switched to chromium?

I'm betting it's just cheaper and easier than making their own engine.

Don't you have to renew them all the time though?

I hope it's still included on future Windows server versions. It's quite useful to open documentation or instructions included with some software.

Well, I for sure wouldn't gamble my life for some emulator even if I lived in Brazil (Pretty sure it was Brazil).

So you wouldn't comply with Nintendo in a similar position?

C&Ds are generally just threats to take someone to court. They aren't themselves enforceable.

Even I can send C&Ds if I want but I don't have anything to back them up with. Nintendo on the other hand absolutely does.

C&Ds are essentially free though.

Lol, why do you think payment is the more likely of the two options?

Why the hell would Nintendo pay them anything when a C&D is cheaper and just as effective.

Do you mean it used the information from AD/Entra or was it tracking you?

It should be noted that work location is a self report tool designed to make collaboration easier so colleagues can know where you are and potentially align their work from home schedules with yours.

It isn't a spy tool that tracks where you are. It's basically just an optional tag that you can add to your calendar if you want.

We use a slack app for the same purpose, and it works great.

Yes the security logs absolutely log that, but I haven't heard of HR forcing IT to actually use those logs for discovering where people work.

We don't give a shit and have better things to do.

I don't get the problem. Isn't this the entire point of registering your work location in outlook? Why would you add it and be surprised if others can see it?

The update will use the Work Hours and Location information stored within Outlook to offer up this information, meaning there may be some awkward conversations if your colleagues believe you to be in the office.

Microsoft 365 can help you manage and share your work schedule. New features allow you to specify more details about your work schedule: from where you’re working (remotely or in the office) and whether you work different hours on different days. In addition, you can schedule meetings with others based on their work location, view the work location on people’s profile card, and see your out of office time reflected in your location.

The upcoming update even allows you to not share your location (Again not sure why you wouldn't share your location since that's the entire point of adding your location but whatever): https://windowsreport.com/outlooks-work-hours-and-location-statuses-will-become-optional/

Am I completely crazy or is the article from tech radar complete bullshit?
