Which are? Genuine question. I'm not aware of those either.
Someone else in this thread mentioned that going to
about:configand typingtelemetrywill apparently show that some things are still set totruedespite unchecking the settings in the Privacy section.Note: I'm not the guy you originally replied to, and I haven't personally tested this. Just pointing out where you can allegedly find those settings if you're interested. (I personally don't care and think this whole thing is overblown by the community, for what it's worth)
I'm not going to enumerate them, mostly because I did not keep track of which one was on and which one was off before messing all of them up. If you're curious, open "about:config" and search for "survey*.enabled", "collect*.enabled". Even with all settings disabled, some of them remains on, and they do cause traffic to the (documented) endpoints.
