minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22arrow-down1·1 day agoThey silently install Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update as soon as you plug a logitech device in. Then you get a an ad to download their software as a popup message by the clock. Since I saw it on a work machine pre pandemic, I have boycotted Logitech, I now mainly use Pulsar mice and Ducky Keyboards.
