I turn off the wifi on my laptop when I am not using it, to presumably prevent hacking into it when I am not on it. However, I have noticed the CURRENT WEATHER appearing on my home screen, before I enter my password to actually use it! I searched, and a few years ago, people said it wasn't possible, but one commenter said, "The new windows might do it" (or some comment like that). Well, it seems that it HAS to be able to do it if it is showing current weather! So now, I am going to have to turn my laptop completely off to provide the level of security I thought I had! (I guess it won't be long before they can access my laptop even with the power off)

Who wants to tell him?
Legit. You would think the "doctor" would know that unless the computer is airgapped, it can connect to wifi any time.
Guess those PhDs aren't that useful.
ROFL the WORST customers for IT support are: yep, docs. Whether medical docs or academia docs, they're the diametric opposite of technically astute. PhDs haven't meant anything useful since before Galileo.
