In previous Kobo firmware, one could disable "Activity" tracking by unchecking "Automatically share data about the features you use" in Settings.

In the latest firmware (4.19.14123), my Kobo is now tracking my reading habits and gamifying the experience with medals and achievements. I would like to disable this for a host of reasons.

Is there any way to have my Kobo stop tracking these stats and disable "Activity" tracking once again? There's a patch to remove "Activity" from the dropdown menu, but I don't believe this actually disables tracking.

Thanks!
