Pimax wants to know my location at all times, why?

[Peedee]

Maybe this is old news, but why does Pimax want to know my location, where my PC is at, at all times when I turn my PC on? The installed Pimax software literary checks my location every single minute my PC is on and online. Every single minute. Why? I came over this just by accident and have now turned off location services from Windows for the time being. I have checked the history for this for the last week now, and only Pimax is listed as a app that checks my location. And it checks this every single minute. Waste of resources, and there's a privacy concern in this too I think.  @Calvin.Pimax  Why do you need to know this? And why check it for every minute that passes?

Very interesting.... I noticed several Pimax systems running  continuously in task manager and wondered why so many.

Go into offline mode (hover your cursor over your avatar at the top right).

Offline might help, but my observations when I've used it before Pimax still tries to 'phone home' on a number of different endpoints (well, at least does for me - I rolled back to an older version that's in the 20's when I experience issues, and haven't updated since).  I'd be very keen to know if this has been 'fixed' so offline is truly offline with zero internet connectivity, or whether it still goes online with numerous communications in offline mode. Are you able to confirm?

I wouldn't know how.
