Ask HN: Disable GPS chip on Macbook Pro Retina
I'm concerned that the GPS is still active from a hardware level despite me choosing to not enable iCloud.
Has anyone disabled / extracted their GPS chip from their computer? Tips?

Do Macs even have GPS?
I'm not aware of any non-custom laptop with GPS chips.
Best guess is the submitter is confusing being able to find someone via their ISP, wifi's SSID, or other marks with the idea there is a built-in GPS.
