    Not that I would ever buy it, but I can totally picture myself accidentally pressing that button all the fucking time.

    Don’t forget the part where Logitech now requires you to use a web app (that only works on Chromium) to adjust settings or pair dongles now.

    Just find a new peripheral manufacturer.

    Silicon Valley is honestly worthless.

    We have an entire industry based on innovations that are 30-50 years old.

    How long until Wall street finds a new investment vehicle and San Francisco is the next Detroit?

    It’s just like ten years ago when everything was about “the cloud”. I can’t wait for the industry to move on to another gimmick to force down the consumer’s throat.

      The cloud at least made a bit of sense. Offload the requirements of hosting an app or colocating a server to other folks, and you just use it. It’s somebody else’s computer, and it’s their problem if something goes wrong.

      The problem is that the MBAs making the decision didn’t understand what was going on in the first place, so “the cloud” because a catch-all buzzword for anything they didn’t want to think too hard about.

    This reminds me of the crypto/NFT days where everyone and their brother added a special “blockchain” feature in their product, even when it didn’t make sense or was completely unnecessary.

      At least that can be turned off in updates.

      All these hardware additions, the AI buttons, even Windows taking away the right CTRL key for Copilot, are ugly appendages that, in 20 years, when were clearing out the equipment closest, we’ll see some of these and go “oh yeah remember when that bullshit was as a thing for a few years?”
