Found this while looking for a way to fully disable telemetry on vscode.
After reading, this seems impossible, short of going down to DNS or network blocks of some kind: the "disable telemetry" setting doesn't; extensions have their own telemetry; MS consider the data sufficiently anonymous to be exempt from GDPR, even the vscodium maintainers say they found it impossible to block vs code's eager telemetrizing.
I wonder what is the most effective way of actually completely stopping it phoning home, apart from yanking its ethernet cable?
