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.
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.
Easy!
(Please don't read this Logitech.)
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
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.
Probably end up using AI for ads. Fuck.
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.
