no one cares what you do. telemetry is only viewed in aggregate. it doesn't make sense, nor is it a good use of time, to scrutinize the telemetry of a single user for any reason.
you keep on living in your town where the people don't have fingerprints or names, and the shoes leave no tracks. I'll be over here getting things done, because doing good work is far more important than avoiding being seen.
- cryptonector 4y agoI gave you more than just privacy arguments. Can you address those too?
- naikrovek 4y agoit's not more work when trying to stop exfiltration or espionage because telemetry doesn't get sent to random places. Microsoft publish the hostnames that receive telemetry. block them and you block telemetry from being sent. it still gets collected locally though. the performance argument is solid and I will see if I can measure that before I agree with you. from what I've read, at least among the common telemetry systems I know of (Azure Application Insights, OpenTelemetry, and Microsoft's system built into the OS), telemetry is gathered for a bit then sent in a batch, which would indicate that performance is at least a consideration.
