This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

A few things (and I enable it usually, for the record):

  • Not really the user's job to help you with anything especially related to your boss
  • "from reputable companies does not get sold or used for marketing purposes. Our lawyers make sure of it," fuck man, this made me laugh. Good one

Policies get updated, companies are bought and sold, laws change, and most crucially of all, data gets leaked. It doesn't matter how airtight your asshole is puckered up or how many isolated networks are involved. It gets leaked. Leave the decision up to users about it and in particular maybe let them have full control of their networks.

That’s why our lawyers make us make sure that data is sufficiently anonymized before it’s even put on the wire.

Yes I'm sure the lawyer is personally running the analytics to ensure compliance.

No, I’m the one adding the analytics.
