may I ask out of curiosity, how do people find those potential telemetry, like, do you use debugging tools for that or some inspection tool which shows you (suspicious) activity?

There are some things that I do not know, and there are some things that are fascinating. Using an auto-start service viewer is one way to identify services in an operating system. However, a user might need a little more than simply using an auto-start service viewer in order to understand what could possibly make leaks.

Well I think one other way could be to use smth like "Portmaster" (no ad from me, just useful trick) to identify what makes (unnessecary) calls to some servers and list those.
