A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

wow fuck that. how does one go about disabling it?
The installer has a checkbox for CIP, which is the data collection tool. Don’t install the CIP, and it won’t collect telemetry.
Works for CIP, but not for NVIDIA drivers:
(Emphasis mine)
Sure, but that wasn’t the question. They asked how to opt out of Intel’s telemetry gathering, since that’s the topic of the article. The article just happens to also mention nvidia and AMD, since they’re competing companies with similar products.
I wasn't replying to the person asking how to disable it; it was a secondary comment in response to your answer, and the sentence I quoted was from the article the post is about, so I figured it was relevant? :P
You can uninstall it like any other program.
