    I get why they want telemetry a lot of the time. Of course it’s helpful. But often times you can’t trust them with that sort of information. I don’t have any problem sending a 1-time log to a trustworthy organization but how many of those are there? And that’s a big ask for a normie.

    Also Windows sends a ton of telemetry and its still shit.

      On a system I designed, we had a dedicated button, labeled Problem, to transmit log data to support. It was a popular feature.

        “Could be a hardware or software issue. It may go away after a restart”

        Lot of fucking help there. Thanks.

        Just run ‘sfc /scannow’, it fixes everything.

        If you don’t believe me, just ask your friendly local volunteer Microsoft customer service agent, they’ll tell you.
