> but it sends data to Microsoft even with Telemetry et al off I think Microsoft responded 100% correctly. They stated what they were doing, proved what they did, and they were wrong and stopping it. BTW I rather deal with a developer that is that responds this way. I also don't mind my editor sending update pings and when I have crashes which most programs are opt-out. From 2016 > today we continue to send events stating that a user has opted out and nothing else i.e. no usage data is sent. Here is the test to ensure that is all we send... https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/platform/telemetry/common/telemetryService.ts#L103 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/platf... But we don’t need to do that and I don’t think it’s what you expect as a user – so we will stop sending anything i.e. even the opt out event Look for a change there soon. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I hope you enjoy working with VS Code.
