Router companies should get together with Microsoft and make some kind of Flag you can tick, so your router actively tells you can't share this, without the ridicules name of "_optout" as last part :)
- fdahgrthkn 11y agoThat's one solution. I don't think it's ideal. Not everyone would know to tick that box. I would, but my friends would not and their networks would be vulnerable. It could also require buying new hardware. Once again, I would know to look for a Wi-Fi Sense-proof router, but my friends would not. I also don't think we should be expected to solve problems that Microsoft caused. Why should the industry adapt to Windows rather than the other way around?
- Zekio 11y agoWell, will at least be interesting to see what the future holds for Wi-Fi Sense :)
- mikeash 11y agoMaybe instead they could have router makers add a flag to opt in to this insanity. Then if people really thought it was important for their networks, they could ensure they have compatible hardware, and turn it on.
