[BLOCK] about hosts HOT 5 CLOSED

@CyanoTex Please verify that blocking these domains do not negatively affect Windows functionality. I do not have a Windows box to test against. I don't want a rehash of StevenBlack/hosts#220 (this list is meant to be used as a component of the StevenBlack list). If I understand correctly, critical Windows functions like updates will cease to work correctly if you prevent the spyware-disguised-as-an-OS from calling home.

@StevenBlack do these domains look troublesome to you?

Good call Brian @brianclemens.

Well, we know that blocking settings-win.data.microsoft.com leads to a shitshow.

There are likely issues with others, too.

@CyanoTex I won't be adding these. Consider using a dedicated list, like https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/blob/master/data/hosts/spy.txt

Ignoring the Microsoft domains, will you add mctd22d-xfy4kdg18w8cmd9bvhsq.device.marketingcloudapis.com and tracker.publico.pt?

from hosts.

@CyanoTex sure thing.
