Windows minimalists have set another record. Enthusiast @XenoPanther has reduced the size of a running copy of Windows 7 to 69 megabytes , smaller than the average mobile app. By comparison, a standard installation of this operating system requires tens of gigabytes.

Microsoft Teams will spy on your boss when you’re out of the office! Location tracking will be rolled out in December.

Microsoft Teams will receive an update in December 2025 that will allow you to track employee locations over your office Wi-Fi network. According to the Microsoft 365 roadmap , “when users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams automatically detects their work location, identifying the building they work in.” Apparently, the employee’s location will be automatically updated upon connection. Teams already allows you to specify a work location , such as a large office or campus. This process could likely be automated using Wi-Fi data, such as the IP address, and changing the location depending on the device connected to the system. The
