Bless you AMD
AMD handles its version of CIP and Telemetry in arguably the most transparent manner. The installer of AMD Software Adrenalin presents the option to prevent its data-collection tool from being enabled at the completion of driver installation, regardless of whether you've chosen the "typical," "driver only," or "custom" install options. There's an entire page of the installer dedicated to this, you see a large checkbox about data-collection that's checked by default, but which you can uncheck, and complete installation.
How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.
They provide relevant system information for issues which some people are willing to provide. Why not let them?
Crash reports are one thing, but web browsing data and enumerating devices on your local network go well beyond that objective

Other devices in your computing environment
The categories of websites you visit, but not the URL itself, Includes universal plug and play devices and devices that broadcast
information to your computer on a local area network: for example, smart TV model and vendor information, and video streaming devices.
The categories of websites you visit, but not the URL itself, The information collected includes categorized web browsing history that shows how long and how often you visited specific categories of sites (i.e. social media, personal finance, or news). All site visits are classified into one of 30 categories. We do not collect URLs, web pages titles, or user-specific content without explicit permission from you.
Crash reports arent the only thing that is a result of a bug. Take for example, the bug involving high idle power consumption is not a crash related bug. The practical way to fix that is to juxtapose settings and conigurations of users receiving the said bug to see of its hardware or software related.
Because they invariably record way more data than they need to.
How do you think AMD fixes "bad drivers" that some people complain about.
By going through your browser history to figure out which pornsite messed with your driver obviously
I mean I don’t care as long as I can opt out and it’s clear how to.
I know. I don’t disagree. I’m just tired of everything being desperate to collect invasive amounts of information about me.
No argument here!
