    I wouldn’t agree the telemetry essentially increases ur attack surface to include all of Microsoft. Sure a Microsoft server might be more secure than something else but they are also a far bigger target

      I’m sorry but no lmao. Microsoft getting hacked isn’t increasing your risk for exfiltrating local data.

          that is a fair point, I wish people didn’t trust cloud storage as much but I blame Microsoft for putting it as the default home directory on windows unless disabled. even chromebooks default to local storage unless you select Google drive while windows defaults straight to OneDrive without any obvious signifiers
