In the OP screen share, they toggle various telemetry options on and off, but every time a setting changes, there is a pop-up that says "a setting has changed that requires a restart [of the editor] to take effect" -- and the user just hits "cancel" and doesn't restart the editor. Then, unsurprisingly, the observed behavior doesn't change. Maybe I'm dumb and/or restarting the editor doesn't actually make a difference, but at least superficially, I'm not sure you can draw useful conclusions from this kind of testing...
edit: to be clear I see that they X-out the topmost window of the editor and then re-launch from the bottom bar, but it's not obvious that this is actually restarting the stuff that matters
- Aurornis 1y agoThanks for watching and catching that. It seems like a major oversight for the core claim: That disabling telemetry doesn’t work. If a restart is required and the tests ignored the restart warning that would invalidate the tests. Either way, it’s useful to see the telemetry payloads.

- segfault22 1y agoTested both ways, telemetry stays the same, the prompt is to restart IDE but i wanted to disable both Telemetry options before i do it.
