A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Telemetry is one more attack vector, and it's not a small one at that.

In the article, they show how visible and easy the opt-out is. While I don't like telemetry usage in apps, this appears very transparent and simple to disable from the splash screen.
