Description Stanislav Horacek 2016-03-16 21:02:11 UTC
There is a new option "Send OS version & simple hardware info" in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Online updates (currently, it has no effect AFAIK).

It has no description in Help - and it would be useful to know the current state of the feature, what information is collected, where it is sent to and what it is good for.

The same holds for the option "Collect usage data and send it to The Document Foundation" in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - General.

Is this WFM? or should additional changes be made?

Yes, for me it is now OK, thanks for the notice - and thanks to the help author for fixing it!

Thanks for feedback Stanislav.  It looks like Olivier Hallot added the help about "Collect usage data" in 2016-03-26 and I added the help about "Online Update" in 2020-02-01 - so I guess we can close this as "fixed".
