    Anything you don't like in hosts is easy to snip out with my program (if it gets by my 7,200++ long item false positive filter) or with notepad even!

  25. Re:What does telemetry actually do? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Microsoft Will Resume Pushing Windows 10 To Machines With Win7, 8.1 (computerworld.com)

    Is there reliable documentation anywhere of what the various telemetry settings in Win10 actually do? I.e. with proof rather than sycophantic "only what's needed to improve customer experience!" or paranoid "everything on your PC is uploaded to M$+NSA!"

    I've switched off all the settings in Privacy panel, disabled Cortana, disabled the telemetry service, don't have Wifi (desktop), set Feedback to Never, don't use a Live account for login, don't use Onedrive, and turned off peer to peer Windows updates. What else?

    Unless you removed Cortana by the roots (and even then, what's to keep MS from silently putting it back after an update?), I'm betting that cortana.exe is still running. Microsoft swears that the .exe isn't doing anything, and you can trust them on this, right?

    You also can't turn off 'diagnostic and usage data' without either being an enterprise customer or editing the registry, which no user should ever have to do (nor would most users know how to do). What exactly is sent back? Who knows? What's the retention policy? No clue. How good is the supposed anonymization? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe there are good reasons to leave that on, maybe someone has good reasons to turn that off, but that's the computer owner's choice, not Microsoft's.

    See also: AdvertisingID, automatically installing apps for you in your start menu, no way to opt out of updates, uninstalling software it doesn't like as part of its own updates, and so on and so on.

    "No complaints from me, I like APK's spam. Reminds me to use a host file. Also, his stuff is free." - by aaaaaaargh! (1150173) on Tuesday November 17, 2015 @09:31AM (#50947415)

    See subject: Hosts do FAR more for FAR less resource consumption adding more speed, security, reliability & anonymity than ANY other single "so-called 'solution'" out there, bar-none, using something you already HAVE, natively... in combination w/ firewalls & patching + other layered security methods -> http://www.bing.com/search?q=%... (via my layered security guides for example)?

    * You can't lose & will surf safer AND FASTER (unlike other security methods that actually slow you OR consume resources like there's no tomorrow + yes - HOSTS ARE FASTER than browser addons like "AlmostALLAdsBlocked" -> http://superuser.com/questions... largely due to less complexity & messagepassing, cpu, ram, & other forms of I/O overheads with them running in usermode vs. hosts in more cpu serviced kernelmode as part of the IP stack itself...)
