Didn't even know you could do that. Maybe Microsoft's Telemetry figured out that not many people knew it also.

- whywhywhywhy 5y agoVision from a small group of individuals who care always beats just trying to scry design from looking at metrics, even when the metrics are millions.
- CamperBob2 5y agoThe problem is, the "small group" is also the same small group who figures out how to disable or firewall the telemetry. So their use cases end up being ignored completely. That's the downside to force-feeding telemetry to everybody without respecting individual user preferences. Some people won't like that, and will find workarounds to disable it. While those clearly aren't the users you need to pay the most attention to, they are among the users that you least want to ignore or disenfranchise. The irony being that if telemetry had been voluntary, most of us would never have bothered turning it off.
- selfhoster11 5y agoPresumably, parent meant that that small group of individuals would be an explicit focus panel rather than passive telemetry being gathered.
