Dell unnecessarily collects geo-location data for unrelated feature.

Now I know why I will never buy Dell`s products...Why would I give them my Geolocation if they don`t need it for anything?

What data does Microsoft collect about me if I only have a Microsoft account to play Minecraft?

One of the reasons I switched to Linux was because I reject the idea that Microsoft needs to collect an absurd amount of data about me through Windows for "optimal user experience," or whatever. Any OS attempting to collect screenshots behind the scenes (a la Recall) is doing something fishy with the data, IMO. So, I've been exploring various ways to be a bit more privacy-conscious, while trying not to sacrifice too much of the stuff I enjoy.

It's been a while since I've played, but, since then, Microsoft acquired Mojang, and now requires a Microsoft account to play Minecraft on any operating system. It sucks, but as long as it's not an obscene amount of data, I can put up with it, I suppose.

What data is collected by Microsoft if you play Minecraft? Can I opt out of the data collection? Is Microsoft gonna give me crap if it sees me playing Minecraft on a Linux system instead of a Windows one?

Is a VPN service like Surfshark able to access my browsing history?

Since it encrypts all of your data, I believe that even Surfshark is unable to read it.
