Boy, the good ole days are gone when it comes to Windows. I am posting just to help anybody that doesn’t know. This is like a creepy wire tap.

If that actually helps, I am sure there are more ways they send data back but the video link is a simple how to for the telemetry. Here is more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtg_s1GQiMU
With all the effort it takes to figure that out on Windows (yes, even with a guide to follow), it literally would be easier to switch to Linux.
Inb4 needing to pick a distro. Here’s a simple flowchart:
Or just install Fedora. I don’t get the love for Mint. Its ubuntu derived, broken by default.

Go reread your last comment it makes no sense. But I’m personally not surprised you’re proving to be a loon
How does it not make sense? And what leads you to believe I’m a loon?
And are you really voting on Lemmy? Lol.
Edit: all sorts of distro work well. It’s just why this one? I don’t think it’s particularly friendly, or up to date, it inherits a lot of crap from Ubuntu.
