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

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

10k calls per day...

More than 1 every 10 minutes. Seems legit.

Do you have a number that's 1 digit away from Dominos Pizza or something?

I think they meant their smartphone “calling home” not an actual phone call

@sheogorath can you confirm?

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yep I meant API calls when saying calls.

[-] meat_popsicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Telemetry DNS/API calls, not dialer calls.

Calls as in network requests not phone calls
