I am willing to think that Google performs fingerprinting on the OAUTH login dialog window, which if prevented, similar to the comment above regarding Firefox being unsafe, it would block login through OAUTH as it pleases.

I would inevitably run into a sync issues

Could it be that you weren't using it correctly? KeePass database files aren't supposed to remain open (for security of course) and it has quite a number of options to automatically close it after certain amount of time or when the window isn't focus, computer is locked, etc. This would trigger a sync with the (NC) server and assuming that all your clients follow the same usage pattern and close the DB after a small window of time, there shouldn't be any conflict.

NextCloud to be always up of course, also self-hosted

You could use NextCloud's own hosting. But then Bitwarden's server needs to always be up too, and optionally self-hosted.

Bitwarden just works

A low bar to recommend a password manager, don't you think so?

I have been and still am a Zotero user. But I found it unfortunate that back in grad school many of my peers still used Mendeley. The school library even had workshops/classes in which they taught how to use the software. I found it ironic that despite paying loads of money to Elsevier for the journal subscriptions, they were advertising their software too!

Sagawa (a private courier in Japan) provides a similar service but at your doorstep. Basically the sender registers your info with them (mainly DoB) and upon delivery you have to provide an ID, which the driver checks that it matches with what's written on the envelope, then enters your DoB and other info and your ID number into a portable wireless POS device. Only if they match, you receive the package, and then I believe the info entered into the device gets relayed to the sender.

(Use your translation service of choice if desired.) https://www.sagawa-exp.co.jp/service/kakunin/

It was unclear how many workers were still missing, as Amazon did not have an exact count of people working in the sorting and delivery center at the time the tornadoes hit, Whiteford said.

I find this hard to accept. They keep track of workers' productivity by the second, but they don't know how many were working there at that time??

Remember: Currency is not an investment. A good currency has a stable value over time; otherwise it's very difficult to conduct commerce.

Perhaps that is why countries like Japan are changing the definition of crypto and calling it "virtual assets" instead of "virtual currency".

The thing about Logitech (at least on Windows) is that it installs the updater as a device driver. So you cannot easily even block its internet access via firewall rules unless you define one for rundll32.exe

If you want to know more about it, just google "Logitech Download Assistant". There should be a device for it in your Device Manager and an LDA.exe process running.
