I recently noticed a new folder in the root level of my Home directory, named ai_overlay_tmp: In preparation for a Mac Power Users episode, I've been playing with a bunch of AI software, and I assumed something I downloaded generated this folder.

    Cross posted this as I just noticed the “feature” on my machine.

    Any suggestions for alternative software for an MX Master 3 being used with macOS.

    Buying a whole other device seems wasteful as the mouse is in flawless condition, but if you have any suggestions I can take a note of it when it is time to buy a new device.

        Well, the gestures are a primary reason I use the software.

        Without the software, the only functionality I get in macOS is scrolling, rendering the buttons and side scroll wheel useless.

          Solaar usually works well enough. Not sure if the gestures part is supported on MacOS.

          I usually avoid depending on “hardware support” software for reasons like this. Once the software is no longer supported or as seen here, introduces some dumb “feature”, it becomes annoying.

          Sounds like you have a simple decision to make, sacrifice privacy for convenience, or remove the software and use the mouse like a normal fucking mouse.

            It would be unfortunate if the only other option is sacrificing privacy.

            Thankfully, some helpful comments have pointed out to software that are available to trial and seem to strike a balance between usability and privacy.

        To access all the extra MX mouse features that go above and beyond what a basic mouse has. MacOS supports a basic 2 button + scroll wheel mouse just fine, but the MX has other features.
