>If you're interested in the specifics as to what Windows collects from your machine, you can actually download Diagnostic Data Viewer from Windows Store, which provides full insight into telemetry data, unencrypted.

>Anyone who has actually looked into diagnostic data & telemetry will tell you that it's absolutely nothing to be worried about. The ones who say Windows is spying on everything you do spread unwarranted FUD that has been proven incorrect again and again.

I might leave it on if I had any faith they would use it to fix bugs. But they don't. It's only for ads. It DOES contain interaction data, just like Firefox. Which is not useful for debugging, only for fixing UIs (which nobody ever does) or placing ads.

Here is the proof that Windows doesn't spy on you: Microsoft is saying so, so it's got to be true.

>slow as fuck
And you have seen nothing yet, they are having a fucking AI automatically convert the whole source code to rust. The result is gonna be so amazingly unoptimized and filled with bugs I don't even have words to make a joke about it.

Where is the evidence that Windows 11 is atrociously worse than Windows 10 in terms of telemetry?

the AI that screenshots your desktop constantly, but I guess you just forgot about it

>Recall is not on Windows 11 per se. It is exclusive to new Windows 11 Copilot+ laptops.

>Another thing, Recall data is held encrypted on-device. Lastly and most importantly, it is opt-in, so you have to explicitly enable it.
