OMG...don't get me started. What does it do, exactly?
And people worry about Microsoft's telemetry. At least that is rather thoroughly documented.
[edit]
I don't want to see articles on how to disable it. I want to know what it is their reporting tool does. And it needs to be from Google, not some individual who tried to reverse-engineer it.

Maybe it is using some of those processes to send data back to those Google servers which are waiting to gulp this data. And track every keystroke move of yours.

I think it's fair to say that that much can be taken for granted...?

It's the bane of cross platform development. Processes are reasonably consistent from Windows to MacOS to Linux. Threads, on the other hand, are a nightmare to develop cross platform. Take a look at the "single threaded" Excel application and you can see up to 25 threads for a single workbook open.
The real question is how many of those processes are in a sleep state of some sort, thereby taking just swap space and no processor.

I'm getting notifications at stupid times: the "It's out for delivery today" email arrives six hours after the goods reached my door; "order confirmation" turns up 8 hours after the dispatch note; that kind of thing.
And this has been happening for weeks.
OK, I know why - with the lockdowns, their workload has gone massively high, they are overstretched.
But ... they own AWS, "the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform" and I thought the great idea with serverless cloud products was expansion: you need more processing, more bandwidth, more anything you just pour some more in. So presumably their systems run on AWS, which doesn't look good for it, really ...

Amazon is having serious issues, and I'm not quite sure where the disconnect is. It might be in the final delivery, not sure.
The other day I ordered a replacement laptop charger. The first thing I noticed, even if it did say "shipped by amazon" was the two day prime looked like 4 day prime. Okay, whatever, CV19 likely. Email confirming the order arrived. 5 days later, still nothing. After a full week, I get an email apologizing that they could not deliver. Hmmm...
So, I went to the page listing reasons why they could not deliver. Every single one of them is the customer's fault. Now, mind you, in the week I've been waiting on the charger, my wife has received probably a dozen deliveries from Amazon, so, no, I don't think it's my issue. And Amazon makes it impossible to gripe at them with their Indian call centers (no offense to the Indians...).

Maybe they should get some of their services running on Azure. Y'know, for those times their own system can't cope.

yeah right, next you're going to be talking about a double positive

yep it's hard you can use "Ain't" and double negative will work

Just thought I might rant a bit.
Simply trying to use MS example and driver to use Java to connect to sql server.
The only error I can ever get is: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver://
I don't believe it is finding the proper jar file.
I noticed that when I build via javac that even if I provide a bad path to the jar or whatever, the "compiler" happily rolls on. Oy! No way to even tell if javac is incorporating the jar.
I've downloaded the jar from : Download Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs[^]
I've tried older versions also. I'm running java 1.8 so I'm using the JDBC built for 1.8.
Just wasting time and I can't tell why it is giving me the same bad error no matter what I try. So annoying! Waste of time! 
Java is so unsupported by anyone. 
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
EDIT
I noticed that it gave me two errors:
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:689)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:270)
I searched for source and found it at:
DriverManager Java Source Code[^] -- don't know exactly which version that is and it doesn't have line numbers.
THen I saw this....
if(url == null) {
throw new SQLException("The url cannot be null", "08001");
}
I set the connection string (url) to null and got that error.
Now down below I see the other STUPID and NON-DETAILED error message:
println("getConnection: no suitable driver found for "+ url);
throw new SQLException("No suitable driver found for "+ url, "08001");

How's that even possible?
It's only been the most used language, according to TIOBE and the like, for about 25 years straight
