Well, that's still around 1 MB too much IMHO.
It's reporting usage and error data back to the company. As an engineer who used to work on appliances that did this the data is used to drive design direction as well as find trends in failure that we could make changes for.
No, anonymous diagnostic data is clearly a threat to my privacy!
Problem is ofc that none of the mentioned examples included any security...
I definitely meant to respond to the engineer as a joke, not to the doomsayer
I just pointed out one of the problems with "anonymous data" collection. Another big one would be the aggregation issue
