[QUOTE="Orchid, post: 1065447, member: 98800"] I might be the only one mixed about this. As [USER=97396]@Stenographers[/USER] said, it depends on your threat model or how paranoid you are. Nowadays, computers (Microsoft) have built-in telemetry on their OS. While Microsoft claims they gather data from programs you use for personalization or bug reports, there is no guarantee that the content of non-sensitive files would leak and sent out as well. Depending on what the content of the non-sensitive file contains [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B](can)[/B][/COLOR][B] [/B]be used[B] [/B]for advertisement or something else. We don't know until it happens to us [/QUOTE]
