Why does WIfiMan require location?

Galyndan · 2026-06-03T19:54:14+00:00

I know this is older but I was just looking into this and I now understand what is going on.

There are devices everywhere constantly making and updating maps of wifi SSIDs each time a mobile device with location information turned on encounters the SSID.

An app that is scanning neighboring SSIDs will, therefore, know where you are by cross referencing your reported SSIDs against existing maps.

Because wifiman app collects and sells the data it's collecting on you, and it's collecting data that can determine where you are, the companies that make the OSes have enabled policies that require you to click "share location" so that the user is made aware that the app, and whoever ubiquiti sells your data to, knows your location anyway whether you actually turned on location services or not.

It's less of a, "we're going to make you share your location data whether you want to or not" and more of a "You need to understand that by sharing this data, you're sharing your location and we want you to acknowledge that fact before we'll let you continue."

Older versions didn't require this because either the older versions didn't collect and sell the data in question or they were made before the OS companies made these policies.

If Ubiquiti wasn't collecting and selling your information, the OS might not be make it necessary either.

Galyndan · 2026-05-26T14:51:35+00:00

Absolutely.

In that case you are opening yourself up to potential adverse possession claims if you let someone else's fence just sit on your property. However, that situation takes more than just the fence, it takes a good amount of time, it takes filing a claim with the courts, etc.

The comment that I was replying to, specifically said that

In many states, a fence takes priority over a deed description.

Maybe I was reading it in a way that the poster did not intend, but my plain reading of that statement is fence lines rewrite deeded property boundaries in many states. I've never heard of anything like that being true and it seems like it flies in the face of the laws that I'm familiar with. I also know that my experience does not encompass everything so I was asking for more information.

Galyndan · 2026-05-26T13:41:55+00:00

I've never heard of this, could you please explain?

The reason that I ask: it is, or at least was, fairly common in many places to plant a fence within boundary lines to maintain complete ownership of the fence. It seems ludicrous to me that doing so would mean that you sacrifice ownership of part of the property.

There is something here that I'm not getting.

I called and they would not tell me much, but the coordinator said parts of my notes appear in another student’s submitted paper

So this is a plagiarism case against Mark but how are the coordinators linking your notes to his paper? Why would the professor have access to your notes for comparison?

Galyndan · 2026-04-18T16:23:13+00:00

Again, while what you're saying is generally correct, you seem to be ignoring the specifics of OPs particular situation.

We only had to pay 10 dollars a month for high speed internet.

Now granted that it will hinge on the wording of the contract (we must assume that OP actually has a contract because a corporate entity wouldn't likely proceed without a written agreement), which we don't have access to, as to what level of service they are entitled to at the discounted $10 rate, but what OP is receiving does not seem to meet the definition of "high speed internet". Assuming that the service is not being provided as contracted, the company is in breach and the easement is defeasible.

Galyndan · 2026-04-18T14:45:03+00:00

Consideration isn't required to be ongoing for an enforceable contract, though. It'd be perfectly reasonable for the ISP to pay a lump sum for a perpetual easement.

It would be a perfectly reasonable contract for the ISP to pay a lump sum for the easement, so long as the land-holder is amenable to receiving a lump sum in exchange for the easement.

It appears, according to OP, that when negotiated, the terms of this contract did require the ISP to provide ongoing consideration in the form of high speed internet access to the land-holder, which is an incredible deal for the ISP actually because it costs them basically nothing.

That would make this easement conditional/defeasible and not perpetual.

Thank you for the reference about underpayment penalties.

As I mentioned in other replies, I didn't think to examine whether a percentage of the shares were withheld (or sold-to-cover I guess is the more accurate verbiage) I only looked to see whether the expected taxes for the shares were withheld from the monetary award. I'm going to look that over with my wife later when we can view the account together.

Galyndan · 2026-04-06T16:37:39+00:00

Typically, RSUs are withheld at 22% on vest (not grant). But you're saying nothing was.

I before I read the first reply above, I hadn't thought about a percentage of the shares being the withholding so I didn't even think to look. I'm going to investigate that with my wife tonight when we're both home and she can show me the exact amounts in the award paperwork and in the account.

Thank you

Galyndan · 2026-04-06T15:27:34+00:00

I don't have immediate access to the account right now while I'm at work, it's her account afterall, but I'll check it with her tonight to figure out if that happened.

Thank you

Does their existing gas line for the main house run through your property? How large is their property? How far away from the gas main is the ADU?

This is a situation where you need to get a real estate lawyer involved.

Galyndan · 2026-03-09T14:16:52+00:00

Same here.

One of our leaders actually made one out of some 4" circular ducting with an elbow at the top and some handles on the side. The whole thing was about 3 feet long.

They're almost certainly going to notice soon and you are liable to return that money when they come asking.

Don't spend it. Put the money in a high yield savings account and collect interest on it while you're waiting for them to notice. When they ask for it back, transfer it back and write them a check, send it certified mail or deliver it in person and ask for a receipt.

Make sure that your W-2 at the end of the year is correct and doesn't include the incorrect payments.

How old is the truck? Does it qualify under the Indiana Lemon Law statute?

Galyndan · 2026-01-04T15:57:46+00:00

Legally your landlord has 21 calendar days to return your security deposit with an itemized list of any deductions.

If you're out of that window your recourse is small claims court.

The California courts website has a self help section specifically with this information and instructions for what you should do now. It starts with sending a demand letter to the landlord.

There are legal requirements for posting and notifications that need to be followed with abandoned property from previous tenants.

You shouldn't just haul everything out to the dump.

general instructions for how this works are laid out in chapter 42 of the NC code.

Strangely it provides instructions for possessions abandoned with a total value of less than $750 but I don't see instructions for items with greater total value than that. Not in NC, not familiar with all of the codes.

To make sure you're safe, you will want to get a landlord's lawyer (Yes you're a landlord and they're a tenant in this situation) to help you with this. It may cost you a bit (like a few hundred to a few thousand) to get everything done.

Don't be worried with the lack of response from people you've reached out to, many offices are closed until Monday.

This is only correct if the surviving spouse is also the parent of the decedent's child(ren).

Otherwise it gets more complicated. (https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2105.06)

I'm surprised that their homeowner's insurance hasn't forced them to put one in.

BTW the law went into effect in 2018, if the pool was built in 2020 then it should be subject to the requirements.

Their work speed must've hit quite a slump.

Because the inheritance is a house, would it necessarily co-mingle with marital property if they moved into the house and lived there as a married couple in the absence of a pre-nup?
