Well hallelujah..... Logitech options is universal now! :D

I think Logitech is trying to replace Options with Options+. The latter came out of beta recently and supports AS since the release 0.90 (https://support.logi.com/hc/en-za/articles/1500005516462). Options+ currently is just an updated interface design, but will have exclusive features in the future.

Unfortunately, the only non native apps I still have on my Mac are all from Logitech.

LG HUB doesn't really matter because I can save the profiles to the mouse memory, so I only use it when I need to adjust some setting.

But my Logi StreamCam (which also can save settings in memory) for some reason doesn't really work in my Mac. Auto focus and auto exposure work really well in Windows but are a complete mess in MacOS. For that reason I have to keep Logi Tune always running because I need to make frequent adjustments to the exposure 😫. Logi Tune requires 9 Intel processes always running...

Wish they would update LogiTune for their webcams.

Options is universal though, i am confused. At least activity monitor shows it as "Apple" now. :D

Didn't expect them to migrate the "normal" option, so that's good step and hopefully LG Hub will be next as it seems they finally are working on native builds.. Though LG Hub still on MacOS with Rosetta works better then on Windows :)

I use doc files a lot, and LibreOffice is good tool to be considered but I still miss Microsoft office... for all its features.
 
M1 now supported natively on 1.19

OneDrive (version 22.111.0522) in the Mac App Store is finally a universal app.

Thanks for posting this!! Glad it's finally Universal.

For those who want the update immediately (since App Store will sometimes take days to update automatically), if you open App Store, click your name/photo at the bottom left, and then open the OneDrive app from there (click the icon or title and not the "open" button), it should check for an update and change the "open" button to "upgrade" on the OneDrive detailed info screen.

Mine updated without any issues. No need to uninstall, redo settings, etc. Working great so far.

Hooray for finally being Universal!
 
Does anyone know if the com.adobe.acc.installer.v2 app has a Universal version? I think it's Adobe's autoupdater (even though it says installer). It's always running.

It’s the main “talking” platform across Europe and many countries like India. Especially in Europe it’s how iPhoné and Android users talk to each.

I haven’t got rid of both FB Messenger / What’s App because of that

Thanks for the info!

Why don’t you use iMessage? It’s free and works great over all of your apple devices.

But I guess you know android users…

It probably depends on which comms channel the people you are communicating with. It makes sense to keep multiple tools around because you can never get all of your friends, family, and coworkers to all agree to one platform. In fact, I would not want to use a single combined platform for that. I prefer to keep some of those domains segregated. I use separate email apps for personal and work for instance.

It costs an Apple device....which for vast swathes of the developing world is totally unaffordable.

Around 2 billion people use WhatsApp

What matters is which system do the people that you communicate with use? Each of my friend circles have settled into specific messaging systems and none of those are WhatApp. Any one individual choosing a messaging app vs another doesn’t matter unless those you communicate with also make that choice.

Again What's App is popular in Europe and across certain parts of Asia. It's the main tool for communication in Spain which is where I live. Wanna buy a house? Good luck without What's App.
