It's just pretty embarrassing. I understand some people don't care (like him because he was told about it by multiple people) but I do.

One thing I'm sure is that it uses way less CPU and helps with my ISP throttling because anything 720p60 and above is a problem if I'm using a browser.
There are options to modify the buffer, reconnect and more but I almost never change my config except for hls-live-edge like once a year (for something that is not Twitch).
you might need to tweak the config a bit
I gave up using Twitch on a browser, it just sucks (and they keep adding more bloat, weird page refreshes that often load the videos twice, notifications that I have to close every single time unless I'm keeping their cookies permanently)
These people wouldn't pay no matter what you do so it's not really relevant. I'm talking about people who resort to piracy because they can't pay to get what they want. Or the value just isn't justifiable.
For example, I feel cheated when I have to wait months for content to be available in my country. Sometimes years (or not ever). So I go and download some torrent since I can't buy the content anyway. And now I'm one of the numbers on their spreadsheets.
If licensing is broken or too hard to manage, they should spent the money fixing that instead of going after "pirates".
(this may not apply that much to books but most types of content are usually filled with DRM garbage, region restrictions, usually have worse quality and distribution methods, and they pretend to not understand why people choose to pirate it)
maybe you should reevaluate your behavior here?

No matter your opinion about the subject at least we are talking about it now and from what I can tell he's going to make a more reproducible test with a script so we can all tear it to pieces.
If not, I hope someone else do it. Even better if it's somebody with the proper credentials some of you all are requiring (from a freaking tweet).

I have all the possible settings configured, from registry to policies and I still see random connections everywhere. But it's ok because it's not telemetry, right?

Is anyone taking legal actions against Microsoft about all of this? Does anyone care? Not everybody can switch all their machines to Linux/VMs, this whole situation makes me angry.
Right now I rent a large server to host multiple things because I don't like the limitations of their free tier. There's something very elegant about having all your "apps" isolated and with their own settings but the price must be just right. I really enjoyed using Heroku (for a client) because maintaining my own servers, even for hobby stuff, feels like such a waste of time.

Doesn't look anything like Digg/MySpace days unless they somehow find a way to kill the "smaller" communities. Even the outbound click thing (or the new frontpage) didn't made any real impact from what I can tell.
But who knows, maybe you're right and someone comes up with a killer feature. Or an UI that doesn't suck so bad that you need a mandatory browser extension (that fries your CPU).
It's a trade-off. I'm installing custom software to improve security, but at the same time, can I trust that this solution won't be a source of malware?
I hope this didn't came out as accusatory, I was just trying to show another aspect of using custom ROMs.
