I just sent the emails as suggested by @chatcontrol because #surveillance is just one of the first steps toward #oppression . Thank you for the work you have done formulating the emails. I wouldn’t find the words anywhere near as nice or calm. It makes me angry and sad that I have to repeat this procedure every couple of months 🤬.
OpenLogi is an early-stage open-source alternative to Logitech Options+ focused on privacy and local control.
It lets you customize Logitech devices without accounts, telemetry, or cloud dependencies.
Currently macOS-only and still under active development, but a promising option for users who want more control over their peripherals.

New technology can desalinate water and harvest valuable minerals without creating toxic brine, based on the Coffee Ring Effect. Coffee, is there anything it can't do?

Scientists have developed a solar desalination system that turns seawater into drinking water without creating environmentally damaging brine. Special laser-textured metal panels use sunlight to evaporate water while automatically moving salt deposits away from the working surface, preventing clogging. The process was successfully tested with water from three oceans and can recover nearly all salts as solids. Those leftover materials could even become a source of valuable lithium for batteries.

This is anti-competitive and should simply be illegal.
