I used to have some similar issues when playing games, and the cause of it was my motherboard's firmware. Maybe check and see if it is up to date?

Congrats on exercising even though you didn't feel like it!

Imo that's a very good way to get used to doing it, and in turn a way to get in shape (or whatever your goal is). Keep on keeping on!

Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I'd happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.

However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it's really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you're using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels... off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a "where have you clicked" report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There's just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

"The Trump administration touted him"

Who's "him" ? I thought it was Trump

this seems like applying the same rules to everyone equally

Though it can seem fair, applying the same rules to everyone equally can be very racist.

I tested high on the IQ scale. I'm single, unemployed and have trouble making friends.

I know I'm just a stranger on the Internet, but those are symptoms of gifted people.

You should look into giftedness. I've recently read a book on it (in french), and it's helped me lots in understanding my condition, my differences with others as well as the challenges I face in the corporate world.

I'd be happy to talk about it if you wish!
