I find that Logi Options+ mostly just stays hidden and works. It does use more RAM than I'd like (125.8MB right now). When it does break it's disruptive, or they add some feature I don't want.

- AI Prompting (enabled by default)

- Auto update stuck wasting CPU cycles

- The recent certificate issue

I'd like to find a replacement because I am annoyed by it, but I have not found a replacement that matches ALL of the features I use from Options+.

I keep the default settings in Options+ but in my testing I can't match all the same behavior with the 3rd party solutions:

- Pointer acceleration

- Workspace switching speed

- Smooth scrolling speed / acceleration

Scrolling is usually my main problem where scrolling in one direction jumps in the wrong direction first before correcting. This is most noticeable when scrolling line by line.

I've tested all the 3rd party options mentioned here(with the exception of Mouser). Does anyone else have these problems with the 3rd party alternatives?

Is this really true? Looking at the Yubikey Shop I see that the purchase page explicitly states that the key is shipped with Firmware 5.7 (the fixed version). If a device is received with the old firmware, I would believe that this not intentional and support would resolve the problem.

This is a good point. I think a simple remedy would be to include the IP the server should allow connections from as part of the authenticated payload from the client in the request.

I actually have switched to Localsend from Pairdrop. My experience is that is Pairdrop is slow especially compared to Localsend. This is while hosting the application on my local network.

I do prefer the WebApp approach so I don't have to install something on each machine before sharing files, but the bug ticket in Pairdrop does not make me hopeful for a good solution (see: https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/PairDrop/issues/44)

Are you able to achieve similar performance in Pairdrop that you did with Localsend?

The comments I am reading here seem to imply that this is more privacy invasive than tracking cookies. Steve Gibson did an analysis on Topics and his conclusion was that this is an approach to provide targeted ads (which websites need to make money) without being invasive.

Here is a link to his podcast where he explains the specification: https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/935?autostart=fa...

Although if you believe that being online you should be 100% anonymous and share 0% of personal data then of course Topics is not good (but then no other ad targeting solution will be either).
