MacBooks just provide their GPS location to Jamf thanks to FindMy. Sure, you could spoof that by keeping it in a Faraday cage and use a $10,000 signal generator to generate GPS signals.
But then you go to all that trouble and still have to VPN into the office from an IP outside of your office.

1. Do MacBooks even have proper GPS hardware onboard? Honest question.
2. I wouldn't think GPS would actually work very well, given how cavernous office buildings are--no clear view of the sky for GPS. And if you get a GPS signal indoors at home, it shouldn't be too hard to block.
I don’t know if it’s real GPS or something more like how phones lookup near by wifi networks to get location, but MacBooks seem to get pinpoint precision location

I don't think macbooks have a GPS chip built-in, isn't it only wifi geolocation?
