Switching to linux is a good option but the ideal solution is one where coporations do not or are not allowed to collect telemetry by default.

Microsoft has normalized default optout telemetry in the OS, IDE & developer tooling and now others are also following suit even in areas where telemetry doesn't make sense.

I wish there is an easy solution to the pervasive telemetry problem for those who can't switch for any reason.

Microsoft has really poisoned the well with default-always-on-telemetry.

Technical solutions (firewalls, switching to Linux, etc.) aren't necessarily practical for many people.

This is probably the only effective solution, but I don't see it happening without enforceable legislation.

I think TV manufacturers don't help either.

Needing an firewall (both incoming and outgoing) for your TV isn't something I would have predicted a few years ago.

At least "monitors" don't seem to have telemetry. Yet.

Who knew that companies would use 1984 as a product roadmap.

The fact that most of them include the content of the screen as telemetry is especially concerning

Corporations should not be allowed to collect telemetry at all. Information should always be pushed from one party to another, never pulled.
