One thing I’m concerned about is recording equipment leaving identifiable information without us knowing about it.

    Though iirc a system crash report can include a kernel dump, which can contain things like private keys.

    Though realistically, Microsoft controls your OS. They could easily add code to allow them to grab whatever they want from your system without any logging (by your system anyways).

    That actually makes me wonder if there are any apps that run on both a system and the router that system is connected to to determine if the internet traffic as reported by the system (to the user) is the same as what the router sees as a way to detect anything using network resources but bypassing the normal network stack.

      you certainly can just run wireshark on your PC and your router, then compare them in the end of the day (with your router’s file filtered your PC’s source address)
