A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

the data will no longer be saved locally

You no longer need to know your location history, only Microsoft and its very close friends will have that data?

After all, it's not your location history. It's Microsoft's history of where you've been. You never monetised it anyway.

In 10 it was possible to turn it all off and leave it off. In 11 it's almost impossible to do so.

Very close friends = Pays ~1 cent per person
