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

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

If ET had been an android-phone he had been long called home before the intro started

That's a good one! But to be fair, Apple calls home just as much. They just don't sell that data (yet).

As does Android. I'm not sure why we would give MS a by for this. They're all as bad as each other and all deserve to be blocked as comprehensively as possible.

If you think they don’t use that data to try and sell apple products, I’ve got a bridge to sell.

They may not have an advertising network, yet, but they use your data for their interests. Currently, it serves their interests to pretend they are more private and secure, but they are not.

They may not have an advertising network, yet

That's what I meant. Of course they use that data and don't let it sit on their servers not knowing what to do with it...

Totally. Wasn't an apple-fanboy-comment. Apple even suck more. At least i COULD (and may!) change my pixel's os to some privacy-focused one.
