Obviously five minutes is unnecessarily frequent, but one network request every five minutes doesn't sound that bad to me. Even if every app running on my computer did that, I'm not sure I'd notice.

- alpaca128 1y agoPeople complaining about 5 minute update checks hopefully don't use Windows 10/11. A while ago I did some rough calculations with numbers Microsoft used to brag about their telemetry, and it came out to around 10+ datapoints collected per minute. But probably sent in a lower frequency. I also remember them bragging about how many million seconds Windows 10 users used Edge and how many pictures they viewed in the Photo app. I regret not having saved that article back then as it seems they realized how bad that looks and deleted it.
