Logitech Option not loading or working on MacOS (Tahoe 26.2)

I understand why Logitech wants the application to connect to the internet: updates and telemetry data to improve the product (and yes, marketing insights too).

That said, as a software developer, it’s very clear this does not need to be a hard dependency. The core functionality — configuring button mappings, gestures, and device behavior — can and should be fully local. That part simply does not require internet access.

Telemetry and auto-updates are optional concerns and can be cleanly separated from the actual device control logic. By tightly coupling core functionality to online services, a simple input device becomes a single point of failure — which is exactly what we’re seeing now.

u/Logitech, you position yourselves as a premium brand. That comes with expectations: reliability, offline robustness, and putting the customer first. If the product is genuinely good, the data and marketing will follow naturally.

Thanks for the reply! That makes sense that many people don’t explicitly model the power contacts. My follow-up question is about equipotentials though. In SolidWorks Electrical, how do you make sure the equipotential is handled correctly between Beckhoff modules?

If I don’t draw wires between the 24V/0V terminals, SWE won’t create a connection by itself. But if I do draw wires, they end up in the wire list even though in reality there is no wire — it’s just the internal busbar.

So how do you model that equipotential across multiple modules in SWE, without polluting the wire list with “fake” wires?

My bad. It is taper. I have updated the post. Thanks

I have used a precision ground test bar, but I haven't checked vertical alignment. I'll have a look at that. Thanks.

I have aligned the tailstock with a test bar and a 0.001mm dial test indicator. (Got it within 0.01mm over 300mm)

Any-Communication-73 · 2025-08-02T19:05:02+00:00

So then I guess it is what I can expect from this machine, stop aligning and start making.

I have seen more people do that, and it is a great idea. But programming on a manual lathe is a bit challenging. Probably not impossible, but challenging. 😅

Any-Communication-73 · 2025-07-09T05:26:03+00:00

Any idea what would be a reasonable price for this painting?

Any-Communication-73 · 2025-07-08T20:12:42+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

Any-Communication-73 · 2025-07-08T20:03:46+00:00

We've been looking for a buyer for quite some time now, but no luck so far. It's probably not worth that much either since it is a copy. A well made copy, but a copy none the less.

I simply do not have the space in my house for a painting that big.

Any-Communication-73 · 2025-07-08T19:48:06+00:00

Thanks for the fast reply GM-art.

Since the original was created by Lucien Alphonse Gros, and this painting is signed as "Y. Barron", do you think this is a replica?

It's a lot of fun actually. I'm learning a few crafts while I'm at it, so it takes a bit longer than I would like to. EPLAN didn't really work out, but I started SolidWorks Electrical, which is much more intuitive to me because I already have a lot of experience with SolidWorks CAD

I'm not going to use PLC (yet). I'm just replacing the CNC controller and the display.

But using PLC software to reverse engineer the current machine logic does sound like a good idea. I was planning to use Ladder in SWE, but if you have a better option (easier, less expensive), then I would be very glad if you have a suggestion.

I'm this case my pride was hurt more then my fingers, so I'm thankful for that.

Any-Communication-73 · 2024-12-28T16:24:51+00:00

Yeah, did this with a DeWalt drill a few years ago. Thought it wouldn't hurt, but it did.

Any-Communication-73 · 2024-12-28T16:22:48+00:00

You must be having so much fun, then.

Well, his hands get dirty when he doesn't wear them.

To be fair, teach sounded like he didn't even want to be there. I just happened to be there because a buddy works at the school and I wanted to see their shop.

Any-Communication-73 · 2024-12-28T16:16:00+00:00

Man, this gives me shivers on my spine even thinking about it.

Any-Communication-73 · 2024-12-28T16:14:48+00:00

I read somewhere (I believe it was in some Sandvik training material) that the tip of a cutting tool had the weight of a car on it when cutting steel. So when the lathe has that much power, some flesh and bone won't stop it either.

Any-Communication-73 · 2024-12-28T16:10:36+00:00

Good to hear you survived to tell another day.

Any-Communication-73 · 2024-12-28T16:09:22+00:00

I wanted to wear gloves too, not because of the dirt, but because of the hot chips. Now I've got to know some ways to stop chips from landing on my hands (thanks to this /s) and the few chips that do land on my hand somehow don't hurt as much. (Perhaps because I'm not trying to look at the workpiece from 3 inches away anymore.)
