Should you allow telemetry?

[QUOTE="plat, post: 922709, member: 74969"] A nice and thoughtfully-written article. Really, it makes it clear that data telemetry is (partly) a sort of payment for your using the free (or even paid) version of a software. If one uses a browser specifically, there's no way to avoid it, maybe only to put a ding in the mechanism with various tools like O&O, ad-blockers, etc (you hope). I don't find "telemetry" to be a dirty word at all in some contexts. I've seen the benefits of it too many times while running Insider builds. Thanks to Microsoft-deployed DISM, my current Windows system has never been more stable. It's just that the line between "benefit" and "greed" as he stated is often blurred and difficult to distinguish in everyday user life. [/QUOTE]
