Well, that's freaky.

I went to go set the time on my Mac. The time zone setting has a box you can check, which says, "Set time zone automatically using current location". I checked the box, and it then popped up a notification saying, "Acquiring location". About 5 seconds later, my computer showed the name of the suburb I'm sitting in and set the time zone for me.

Am I the only one a little unnerved by this? I mean... my computer knows almost exactly where I'm at... after only a few seconds.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but yikes. It's kind of freaky to realize that this kind of technology makes it very, very easy to keep tabs on a person, should they be the type of person that tabs need to be kept on.

Hello, end times.
