I turn off all the telemetry in the VSCode settings. Are there switches I can’t turn off or something?

How can you know if the switches actually work?

I could check using a proxy or by inspecting the source (it’s just JavaScript) but I don’t actually care about it that much to bother and I think we would have heard something if the switches were bogus, given that VSCode telemetry is such a contentious issue. That’s why I asked if there was other telemetry without a switch, because Windows is like that.
