This is going to be a bit annoying for those of us who do remote tech support for family members.

If the goal is to prevent telemetry, you could use Little Snitch to blacklist all Logitech applications from being able to go online.

Yep that would work.

I do sometimes wish there was a built-in save sync feature though.

I’ve needed to help a few clients with this problem. Google recently started enforcing oAuth 2.0 for their accounts. I could be wrong, but I remember reading that OS X Sierra and High Sierra don’t support oAuth 2.0, so you can’t use Apple Mail unfortunately without upgrading.

Have you considered using an alternative?

Edit: I stand corrected. App Passwords are a thing.

Quite a few of the major parts are now serialised and have to be assigned/tied to a device through an Apple service system - I forget what it’s called - so that scenario is becoming less profitable as well.

The only caveat with the Logitech Combo Touch is that it’s noticeably a lot more heavy in comparison to other cases. It offers good protection however. If I were buying another case, I’d be hesitant to get it again.

Several of the quality photo book print services that I’ve used do their printing in the USA and Japan.

Sorry, macOS only. I wasn’t sure which platform you were talking about in the post and kinda assumed you were talking about macOS.

Perhaps you could keep a separate library for your complete albums?

I used to do something similar when I wanted to separate my lossless music from the rest.
