Just how much telemetry does The Enterprise need from my work laptop?

I couldn't get rid of Satan, the useless Windows Laptop [1] fast enough [2]. At the end, just turning on Satan swamped the network connection here at Chez Boca to be near useless. Good riddance.

Today, I turn on Satan's replacement, Belial, the annoying Mac Laptop [3]. I'm not sure what The Enterprise is doing to it, because as soon as I turned on Belial, the network connection here at Chez Boca dropped to near zero.

At first, I thought it might have something to do with the weather, but on a hunch, I turn Belial off and the network becomes stable and usable. I turn Belial back on, and the network goes crazy again.

Sigh.
