Can't stop calling it out when you see it. The internet is being used for good and for evil. <tinfoilhatoff>

I knew there had to be a rational explanation as to why this book was chosen as a "bad book'.

Nice. This reminds me of ammoseek.

Nice.

Is this spam?

Anyone else on the fan Facebook group? Ceralkiller is on there.


My first journey into flash was creating a graphic of a spinning smiley face with a GSW for the game pimp-wars. I didn't know anything about it. But I knew I wanted to make that graphic for my "gang".


A randomize button would be cool.


How much it sucks depends on why you bought it. if you bought it to control a pointer, NBD. If you got it for the custom buttons, then it's a pretty big deal. Why those features need a server online to work is beyond me. Glad they got a fix though.


They don’t need a server. The post is also wrong in that way.

The certificates for signing the macOS app expired. Because of that the patch needs to be manually installed instead of auto updating itself.

Things go wrong sometimes. This is mostly people catastrophising things on the internet for points.


> Things go wrong sometimes.

Certificate signing is planed obsolescence.

They rewrite the functions on the fly. I.e. if Mouse4 is "navigation back" by default and you "set" it in the software to "Keyboard button A" then the software running on your computer (not the mouse) rewrites "navigation back" to "keyboard button A" on the go.

It's so bad what if you CPU is hogged then sometimes you would occasionally get the "real" button function (ie navigation back) instead of the "reprogrammed" one. Or sometimes - both.

It's utter bullshit of the design and the reason I threw that shit in the wall on day 2 and went to the store to buy Razer DeathAdder V2 HyperSpeed (R)(TM). Despite the ridiculous name and quite shitty application - most of the functions are actually stored on the mouse (besides some macro things, which is a pity, but again...).

Oh, by the way, the software I installed on my notebook to "program" that Logishit kept working, downloading updates, updating and not deleting the previous versions. I suddenly got "low disk space warning" and was like... what? And then I found this Logishit spent 20GBs of space for it. For doing nothing. Literally nothing.

But what is really puzzling is why @dghlsakjg is defending Logitech here. Maybe he has their stock or have some form of so called Stockholm syndrome.


Not sure how this was even allowed. I saw a couple of people jump into the back of a Uber that was a Tesla, and could only wonder if the driver told them where the release was in case of emergency.
