Reading the article, I don’t see how AI code was the fault in this situation. They let a developer certificate lapse without renewing it, so actually seems more like a process or human error; either their systems didn’t flag for upcoming renewal sufficiently or the alert was ignored or missed.
It’s more that it’s indicative of the engineering culture at Logitech. Business bros cry for more useless features and don’t allow any time for infrastructure or technical debt. An unautomated cert like this (or no teams who monitor it) just screams process failure and lack of business allocation of engineering resources.
I don’t think the point was about AI code. Rather it’s commentary about Logitech’s priorities. There’s quite a fair bit of AI features that pop up when one runs the Logi Options software. Instead of jamming AI stuff into it, they should focus on the more core functionality of their products such as not letting this certificate expire in the first place.
What mouse brand has a product similar to the MX Master that also works well in Linux?
I use a Logitech MX Master 2S and 3S on my Fedora 43 machines using Solaar! Works better than on my legacy Mac OS builds that use legacy version of Logi Options+
