Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate

Glad I read the writing on the wall and stopped buying Logitech years ago.
There is 0 excuse for a mouse to ever need or use an internet connection. Period.

Read the article. This is a MacOS problem, not a Logitech problem.
The main buttons worked fine, only the specially configured extra buttons didn’t work. Those buttons require a configuration program. There’s no evidence this program needed an Internet connection.
But MacOS blocks all software that doesn’t have an approved certificate. It’s basically the same walled garden as phones. Logitech’s certificate expired.
It only affected Mac users, and only because of the walled garden.
