Can PlatformIO communicate with you via prompts?

* propose to install platforms which aren't installed yet
* paginate over library search results
* and etc.

.. warning::

    DISABLE** all prompts. It will allow you to avoid blocking.

Share diagnostics and usage information to help us make PlatformIO better:

* PlatformIO errors/exceptions
* The name of used platforms, boards, frameworks (for example, "espressif", "arduino", "uno", etc.)
* The name of commands (for example, "run", "lib list", etc.)
* The type of IDE (for example, "atom", "eclipse", etc.)

This gives us a sense of what parts of the PlatformIO is most important.

The source code of telemetry service is `open source <https://github.com/platformio/platformio/blob/develop/platformio/telemetry.py>`_. You can make sure that we DO NOT share PRIVATE information or
source code of your project. All information shares anonymously.

Thanks a lot that keep this setting enabled.


.. note::
    * The ``Yes`` value is equl to: ``True``, ``Y``, ``1``.
      The value is not case sensetive.
    * You can override these settings using :ref:`envvars`.
