As if it wasn’t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I’m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my computer. This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver: This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver

For the curious: https://logiwebconnect.com

EDIT: some people on the thread have brought up that the error message being displayed for Firefox users is due to the WebUSB API not being implemented by Firefox due to security concerns. This still does not justify having to use a web app to plug peripherals to a PC.

    Man you took this whole comment right out of my mouth. These days I just resent everyone around me.

    • Meta users
    • pickup/SUV drivers
    • Gamers
    • people who don’t think privacy is important.
    • People who are not only okay with but avid supporters of shit politicians (which, to be clear, is the vast majority of politicians).
    • People who put my single item in plastic bags without asking me or drink hundreds of plastic bottles (I have a family member who owns a corporate environmental consultant startup who does this constantly)

    And these people are just fucking everywhere. The future just feels so hopeless.

    Like I get it can be difficult but I point out how they can be better and they just get offended.

      I agree so much.

      I sometimes go to a grocery store near work to pick up lunch, and I usually get like two things. The cashier always seems confused when I ask for no bag, despite me obviously being capable of carrying those items to the register.

      So not only are people making weird choices for themselves, they seem adamant that I need to make them too.

      Yeah I know. My brother in law (and by extention my sister) are super smart and politically active but they have a house full of data sucking gadgets like Alexa and absolutely no concerns about data privacy or security. I’ve tried to talk to them about being more selective about how they share their data, but my brother in law is a lawyer so trying to persuade him is like going to court and is just exhausting.
