If I ever encounter a monitor begging me to log in, that is going directly back where it came from the very same day.

Cool. Look after the ones you have now, then.

I read some of your other comments. Your mouse wants you to log in? I think part of the problem is you.

But I am worried about, for example, finding a TV that isn’t a piece of shit. It does seem to be creeping in more and more product categories.

I wish people would quit buying that shit. Collective refusal to log in to our monitors would eventually end the begging. Too bad some people are desperate for RGB lighting I guess.

The problem is indeed me in that I use an ergonomic Logitech mouse because RSI is a bitch.

And that mouse absolutely demands that you use Logitech’s annoying peripheral controller software, which also insists on updating with game button profiles every time you reboot your PC. Welcome to the future.

Hey, I agree that it’s bad and annoying and quite ridiculous for a mouse or just to use RGB lights. I really hope that MS’s centralized RGB management will replace most of it. My current keyboard already supports it and it’s great to have it right in the OS settings instead of being bloatware.

But my point isn’t that endless superfluous apps are a good thing, it’s that being big mad about a software and gaming platform requesting you to log in to it is at best anachronistic and at worst not a thing you want, given you are using your credit card and streaming your desktop through it.
