I don't want that sh*t to be there in the first place. No one knows better than the end user. And also, if the user could not reach some M$ server does not mean users' network was not connected to the internet.

Anyway, won't be a trouble for me much longer. Retiring all my Windows instances, had enough.

It's crazy, everyone else is just letting M$ control the narriative and falling for it.

Micro$oft is trying to define what is and is not 'internet' access, eg. they turn the definition of 'internet' to mean unfettered access to the micro$oft servers is and you're ability to send personal information over to them.

Internet access is when your machine can exfiltrate data to Redmond, CA.

Yeah, right.

The Redmond you’re thinking of is in Washington, BTW.
