Logitech did not drop the ball. It is insane that a company needs to keep paying Apple or their customer's hardware stops working.

Max headroom 20 minutes into the future: Your Tesla won't start because the tire manufacturer didn't pay Tesla the yearly certificate renewal.

That said I didn't buy Logitech for my new PC because of their bloat.

    What’s even more insane? Apple has their OWN products that are no longer usable without hackery because their certificates have expired.

    Then again, the alternative to all this is the Windows world where old drivers are now the method used to shovel malicious software onto the system, so there’s really no winning proposition.

    Eventually Linux will be there, and this may be the year of SteamOS, but I can’t imagine the overlap of people using Linux as a desktop OS and people using custom configurations of Logitech input devices is all that large, outside people who can write their own systemd services and conf files from scratch. Just not the same user space.
