Bless you AMD
How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.
They provide relevant system information for issues which some people are willing to provide. Why not let them?
Crash reports are one thing, but web browsing data and enumerating devices on your local network go well beyond that objective
From https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/topics/idsa-cip.html
Crash reports arent the only thing that is a result of a bug. Take for example, the bug involving high idle power consumption is not a crash related bug. The practical way to fix that is to juxtapose settings and conigurations of users receiving the said bug to see of its hardware or software related.
