Logitech has gone from one of the best tech brands to essentially garbage. The hardware might still be ok, but their software is crap, and those comments about selling a mouse subscription...
Sad but true. And they are taking some good stuff with them.
Squeeze box back in the day was the biggest competitor to Sonos. All open source. Logitech bought them, then just shut it down for no apparent reason. Same thing happened with Harmony. Best user programmable remote on the market, Logitech buys them, then shuts them down for no apparent reason.
I wish someone would scrape together a few million bucks or whatever Logitech would want to sell both brands, buy them, and resurrect them.
Mama's got a squeeze box.
Daddy never sleeps at night.
At work, quite a few people use Logitech mice, but the IT security team had to block Logitech Options because Logitech added some sort of AI functionality to it without adding a killswitch for enterprise customers... On the positive side, people learnt about alternative apps to reconfigure the mice that don't have any of Logitech's bloat.
iTerm added AI stuff but at least they added a killswitch (a setting in a plist file I think) to force it to be disabled.
Their mice are great, until they need a subscription, for some reason...
Even their hardware design these days is them copying popular products from smaller tech companies
