The tips, ads, and recommendations you see will be more generic and may be less relevant to you.

Send only info about your device, its settings and capabilities, and whether it is performing properly.
In other words, even after turning off all the settings, your data still gets collected.

Thank goodness for FLOSS and GNU/Linux.
I don’t think so, but this sounds like a super interesting idea. I might try this later!
If you do, I’d be super interested in hearing about your results or reading a writeup from you.
I’ve been super busy as of recent, but I’ll try to remember to reply to you if/when I do :)
