Work laptop has location services locked. Is it over for me? (alien.top)

So the laptop provided by work, which is used to connect to a virtual machine, does not allow turning off location services, which are used pretty much all the time according to windows. Even if I were to set up a gl.inet system on my own, would this negate all of that? Are nomad dreams done for now, at least on this role?

Dumb question maybe but how does the laptop even know what location you are in? If it’s using wireless, then you can disable the wireless adaptor and used a Ethernet to Glinet. Then disable Bluetooth adaptor.

How else could a laptop know where it is other than internet? And now with the wired connection, it’ll just show your VPN location. Unless you got a gps in that thing.

Am I missing something?
