You can use a raspberry pi or a configurable router to grab telemetry packets and kill them. Also you honestly want to take the quality updates (security and minor bug fixes) every day someone figures out a new intel exploit and you really want to get the patches to fix those. The feature updates take forever but Microsoft announced they will only push a feature update once your OS is approaching EOS.
- morrbo 7y ago"You can use a raspberry pi or a configurable router to grab telemetry packets and kill them" is not the same as "you can turn off windows telemetry" like the guy i was replying to. I agree about the security updates. However, the point i was trying to make is that accepting windows' bullshit "you WILL have an update, you WILL give us telemetry, you WILL reboot your computer" is bullshit. Having those defaults, albeit i don't agree with them, but with an easy way to disable them so that even moderate power users can completely block out anything they don't want to in any edition of windows is much more preferable to the "it's fine" attitude i was replying to originally. It's not fine. It sucks. Forced updates are not the same as auto updates, and they're sure as hell not a good thing IMO.
