- lordofgibbons 6y agoI'm not sure about now, but as of last year, the simply had instructions on how to disable the telemetry from VSCode.
- paulcarroty 6y agoPoint to block telemetry before first run.
- itsbits 6y agoYou don't need to remove branding to disable tracking for corporates like Amazon. For example, They might have some firewall in the network which blocks tracking API.
- whatshisface 6y agoYou need to remove branding to be allowed by Microsoft to distribute an unofficial build. You need to distribute an unofficial build to make sure that the application isn't trying to find holes that might have been accidentally left in your firewall. (Quick, without googling, which ports and dest IPs do you need to block? Which ports/dest IPs will you need to block in the next version that hasn't been released yet? Yeah, a losing battle.)
