This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you’re using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels… off.

    “90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

    Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a “where have you clicked” report.

    telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

    There’s just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.
