1. All text typed on the keyboard is stored in temporary files, and sent (once per 30 mins) to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
pre.footprintpredict.com
reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com

2. Telemetry is sent once per 5 minutes, to:
vortex.data.microsoft.com
vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com
telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com
sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

3. Typing the name of any popular movie into your local file search starts a telemetry process that indexes all media files on your computer and transmits them to:
df.telemetry.microsoft.com
reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com
cs1.wpc.v0cdn.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
pre.footprintpredict.com

4. When a webcam is first enabled, ~35mb of data gets immediately transmitted to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

5. Everything that is said into an enabled microphone is immediately transmitted to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
pre.footprintpredict.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
telemetry.appex.bing.net
telemetry.urs.microsoft.com
cs1.wpc.v0cdn.net
statsfe1.ws.microsoft.com

This behaviour still occurs after Cortana is fully disabled/uninstalled.

Interestingly, if Cortana is enabled, the voice is first transcribed to text, then the transcription is sent to:
pre.footprintpredict.com
reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com
df.telemetry.microsoft.com

No ****, stupid. That's from the Windows 10 preview edition.

Did you even bother to read the date on the post

2015-Aug-9 12:22 am

That's three days after the original post on Aug 6 2015, which
was based on the preview edition.

If you used the preview edition, you agreed to ALL that.

Don't you illiterates read anything Do you just click every
box that says yes because you're too busy smoking pot, injecting
meth and masturbating


So show us the article that says that this is no longer being done.
Some day, but I doubt it, you might even grow up to a point of being able to make statements more civil that that of a total son of a bitch.


a simple wireshark capture would verify or refute it

/me doesn't have time/patience/"enough give-a-****" to do this...


Turning off a single service would neuter most of it.

"Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" aka DiagTrack

Disable it

This POS service is responsible for upwards of 20-30 minutes of
100% disk utilization after startup on laptops. It chokes a
legacy mechanical storage medium and kills performance on an SSD
as well.

You don't notice it on your desktop because you don't boot it
that often.

No, it has nothing to do with Windows Update.

Unknown, as the necessity for turning it off became apparent
with the last update.

what if you just use another OS that's better? ...or would that absolutely ruin your chances of whining about it publicly on usenet?

THIS SPACE FOR RENT

ga�ble
'gab?l/
noun
the part of a wall that encloses the end of a pitched roof.
a wall topped with a gable.
noun: gable end; plural noun: gable ends
a gable-shaped canopy over a window or door.

http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/phot...213138,00.html
Gable
Gabled roofs are the kind young children typically draw. They have two
sloping sides that come together at a ridge, creating end walls with a
*triangular extension*, called a gable, at the top. The house shown here
has two gable roofs and two dormers, each with gable roofs of their own.
The slant, or pitch, of the gables varies, an inconsistency that many
builders try to avoid.

"People didn't cause the Great Depression, Liberal ko0kTarD. Governmental policy did." - Fakey in MID 7880b90ad2ecebe35ba01b4557597d80%40dizum.com

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes...eat_Depression
"The initial stock market crash triggered a "panic sell-off" that made the stock market go even lower."

so... so the "government" panicked, snickers?

funny that a bona-fide conservative horatio alger hero type would want the government stepping in to save the stock market.

"Current theories may be broadly classified into two main points of view and several heterodox points of view.

First, there are demand-driven theories, from Keynesian and institutional economists who argue that the depression was caused by a widespread loss of confidence that led to underconsumption. The demand-driven theories argue that the financial crisis following the 1929 crash led to a sudden and persistent reduction in consumption and investment spending.[1] Once panic and deflation set in, many people believed they could avoid further losses by keeping clear of the markets. Holding money therefore became profitable as prices dropped lower and a given amount of money bought ever more goods, exacerbating the drop in demand.

Second, there are the monetarists, who believe that the Great Depression started as an ordinary recession, but that significant policy mistakes by monetary authorities (especially the Federal Reserve), caused a shrinking of the money supply which greatly exacerbated the economic situation, causing a recession to descend into the Great Depression. Related to this explanation are those who point to debt deflation causing those who borrow to owe ever more in real terms."

wait? what? no major "third" konservative k0okTheory blaming the government for everything mentioned?

odd, that. eh, lotusLoser?

FNVWe attempts to rewrite physics texts in Message-ID:

"let's not forget that mine also had the correct applied mathematics
equations unlike fakey the supposed know-it-all:

phase A: 120*sin(2*pi*60*x)
phase B: 120*sin(2*pi*60*x+pi)

voltage difference between phase A and phase B at any point x in time:
120*sin(2*pi*60*x) - 120*sin(2*pi*60*x+pi) = 240*sin(2*pi*60*x)


Wrong, as has already been proven. What does it say below, you fecking *moron*?

"The _sum_ E(θ) ≡ E(a) + E(b) can be written thusly:""

it says that you don't even know how to correctly apply mathematics to real-world AC electricity, snickerTurds. it says that you're in denial about the inversion of your AC legs.

** NOTE: The phase of Hot Leg 2 (Phase B) is in the
opposite direction - i.e., 180� apart from the phase

Fakey, it doesn't reach 2500 volts because the summation of your sinewaves never reaches that. They never reach their max values at the same time. That's how stupid you are.

Message-ID:
"I most certainly *did* prove otherwise. It can't even arrive at the correct sinewave summation voltage of 2550.25 volts"

Fakey, you only *proved* that you are too inept to graph the equations and notice a few things about the interactions of their frequencies when summed.

the next line of code is never executed, but snickers DEFINITELY can't figure out why it isn't and instead has a bunch of lame excuses while still having not produced a value for t where the sum=2550.25, as he has k0okily proklamed in many usenet messages that are archived FOREVER.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gish_Gallop
The Gish Gallop is often used as an indirect argument from authority � as it appears to paint the galloper as an expert in a broad range of subjects or with an extensive knowledge of an individual one. Simultaneously it presents opponents (in spoken debates) or refuters (in written, Internet-based ones) as incompetent bumblers who didn't do their homework before the debate. Such emphasis on style over substance is the reason many scientists disdain public debates as a forum for disseminating opinions. - Page #1 from the Gospel of SnickerTurd

snickers the wonderturd describes how he alerted lots of his kiddie pr0n friends to the ensuing FBI sting in message :
"That's easy enough to do... how do you think my crew uncovered the largest CP ring using Tor and I2P, which we promptly turned over to the FBI? I discovered a way to uncover the IP addresses the I2P users were using, and a way of tracking Eepsites back to their IP addresses, then we figured out that we could DDOS a Tor IP address and modify Tor headers while checking whether a Tor hidden service was still up, then using process of elimination to pinpoint the IP address hosting that hidden service. It's not rocket science.

_The I2P community got all up in arms when I discussed on their forum how I was doing it, and that it'd be a good way of cleaning up I2P so it can get on with being a platform to research anonymous communication... my distinct impression was that the "anonymity research platform" story was just a cover story to allow pervs to trade CP._ (NOTE: admits to participating in what he "suspected" was a kiddie pr0n network.)

That Silk Road 2.0 was taken offline in the ensuing FBI Operation Onymous was just icing on the cake."
