   If Microsoft truly stopped using the SSID "_optout_" directive in the 2016   
   anniversary addition of Windows10, then why then do they maintain this?   
       
      
   That site was kindly confirmed by Andy Burns in the Android newsgroup   
      
      
   Given 99.9 out of 100 people are not only incredibly ignorant but also   
   unfathomably rude to everyone around them, I don't want to be one of them.   
      
   I am aware most phone owners are incredibly rude to everyone around them by   
   uploading your exact GPS location & unique AP BSSID to Google, but are all   
   the PC's around you also just as rudely giving your location to Microsoft?   
      
       *Microsoft supposedly _stopped_ doing that, didn't they?*   
      
   So why then, does Microsoft _still maintain_ that optout location database?   
   --   
   Note: That db requires you to lose your privacy to get it back (much like   
   the robocalls database does, which just told the spammers who you were).
