VS Code's FAQ tells you how to disable telemetry.

https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/supporting/FAQ   (How to disable 
telementry reporting)

VS itself doesn't have a nice setting like this, it looks like, and it's 
caused a fair bit of consternation on the Internet.  Someone has posted 
a recipe for turning it off:

I bet the var is not set at all by default.


I actually ran into the telemetry issue over the weekend when I was 
without internet, working on a Windows VM with VS 2019, and a whole 
bunch of files accumulated in the temp directory, unsent data. Irritating.

SCons will likely need to adapt to something here. Adding the path to 
powershell doesn't seem likely; it's pretty obscure and contains 
version-coding, which makes it a poor candidate - humans invoke it 
through a shortcut which hides those details, but that's not useful to 
SCons.

this one sounds fairly good to me...

Bill?
