I'm depressed enough. I think I'll skip this one Mrk. Happy new year.

 

I prefer "telemetrised".

 

@Mrkvonic, thank you, well written article. As for myself whenever I can, I opt out...

 

Thank you folks. Buddel, I guess it's American vs British spellng, z vs s, but z gives it a more zangy feel.
Zapjb, it's only slightly depressing!

I know. Thanks for the interesting article, @Mrkvonic

 

LOL good one. I have chosen the "Basic" telemetry level in Win 10, but only because I couldn't disable it completely. I try to block most of this stuff via O&O ShutUp 10 and SpyBot Anti-Beacon (last freeware version).
