How is your standing policed, with an always online requirement? So if I move and need to wait to get my internet up, I can’t use my mouse?
Are they legally liable for lifetime support or are you signing away that right in the EULA and they can end support for your “lifetime” mouse on a whim?
I’d rather rent my furniture than subscribe to a mouse, but both practices are exploiting this world’s rampant financial illiteracy.
Nah, you just have the mouse do a cryptographic handshake with the driver software and tie it to a server-side validation check, and thus if there’s no handshake and validation, there’s no working mouse.
They are desperately looking how to actually use their AI investments… Companies are spending billions and they have no idea what to actually build that will be useful.
I can’t wait for some shitty computerized voice to start telling me that, as a large language model, they highly recommend that I consider Taco Bell for dinner, because Taco Bell contains all the food-like products your body needs.

What do you think? After they’ve sold all of them they’ll release Lifetime Mouse 2.0, and cancel all the support for these, bricking your mouse.
So if you miss a payment your mouse shuts off?

They could probably do that in windows by adding some service that checks if the mouse is valid… Since on windows it’s using Logitech drivers.
On Linux it’s open source so no way they can do anything.

Easy!

Now we need internet to use a mouse. Brilliant. :)
All we need to do now is somehow make it have an AI assistant and maybe put it on the blockchain somehow and wait what the fuck? They do?! https://www.logitech.com/en-us/software/logi-ai-prompt-builder.html

Probably end up using AI for ads. Fuck.
