Logitech broke their software on macOS
As of 2026-01-07 I've run into the same problem. Can't fine-tune my webcam, my light or configure my mouse. Looks like a recent update to the Logi software borked things on macOS.

Watch to 5K: Couch to 5km app for Apple Watch
I need to get back into running again, and after a bunch of health issues I need to be gentle which means doing C25K again. The NHS podcast was fine but I don't think I can really work through that again as it is kind of annoying.
This might be worth trying.

Stop making me justify my paycheck
I don't want a yearly performance review. I don't want to spend two hours filling out a form about my "top accomplishments" like I forgot what I worked on all year. You saw the work. You paid me. That was the agreement.
I also don't want to invent five ways I should magically do more next year for the same money. If I mess up, tell me when it happens. If I'm doing fine, stop asking me to write essays about it.
Let me just enjoy the holidays and leave me be!
