Where do you live where you're not hearing complaints about Apple?
- mercurysmessage 9y agoNot Silicon Valley ;p. I never hear anyone complain or hardly anyone even knowing about it.
- mrkrabo 9y agoBecause you can disable it. No?
- mercurysmessage 9y agoYes, with some effort: https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide You probably could with the same amount of effort for Windows, but at least Windows makes it more clear that it is happening.
- GeekyBear 9y agoAs far as telemetry goes, there is a simple on or off checkbox in the Security and Privacy control panel.
- skgoa 9y agoThe real issue being that it is set to ON by default and that it tends to reset itself randomly after updates.
- GeekyBear 9y agoI'd say the real issue is that Windows 10 not only defaults to having telemetry turned on, but that it also does not allow a system administrator to turn it completely off. However, I would agree that if preferences are changing without user intervention, that would definitely be a problem. I haven't heard about users having that problem and can't find examples of it happening on the web. Do you have a citation?
- xlocicicig 9y agoThis is somewhat misinformed. http://www.computerworld.com/article/3159424/microsoft-windows/you-still-can-t-turn-off-windows-10-s-built-in-spyware.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/3159424/microsoft-windo...
- GeekyBear 9y agoI should have been clearer that I was referring to how one turns off telemetry on MacOS.
- jve 9y agoYep, windows has documented it fairly well with the possible configuration options: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/configure-windows-telemetry-in-your-organization https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/confi...
