hm, yet? And are we even sure about that? Who expect that what you type in the Run dialog being spied on and sent to MS? Is this even documented anywhere?
At this point I'm considering all MS softwares have become mainly hardcore spyware, with maybe some secondary legacy functions remaining (but in lots of cases being stripped slowly, while getting more bloated at the same time).

- temac 5y agoUnless I do that all day, not really (and then I would need to configure tons of things to block the traffic), and things are getting worse and worse. I just received an update from Dell of Intel integrated graphics driver and it seems they phone home (to Intel, most probably, I doubt Dell receives a special version that send to Dell instead of to Intel whatever they thought it would be interesting to spy on), although I'm not sure the original ones did so, nor if I have even been warned that they do. Probably illegal under GDPR laws, but like that kind of company gives a shit... I will just abandon Windows, it's not worth it anymore. Win 11 incompatible with most not-so-old PCs will be a good occasion.
