    This is from 2020. You absolutely can use Little Snitch or a similar firewall to block this traffic.

    We agree how sinister and dystopian it is to need to work against your hardware/os vendor for something like this though, right?

    Shutup 10 exists, but that doesn’t make it OK that Windows users have to continuously be on guard for MS to try snooping on them, either.

      Spending time to this is waste of life, it used be you setup the PC and it was good, now it is maintenance. I could not justify it any longer… made that switch.
