This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

Don't get fooled by the insane amount of hits, when it's not reachable it will try over and over

[–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 11 points 11 months ago

Yup. You need more like a logger to get the actual measure of the data.

Which could in turn make their pc run worse because it'll constantly be retrying telemetry calls

Except this isn't 1982 and that computer is running Windows 11, not Multix. The CPU probably has at least 8 cores and the NIC can do at least a gigabit. A network retry is not going to matter.

Depends, if you zoom in, most of the time it's like 3 calls a second or something similar.
