You literally post this on every article about Firefox. Aren't you tired yet? I have replied numerous times that they are *NEVER* going to do that. And then I pointed you to using policies, which will disable updates.

Which is why I don't bother with surveys from company. If they're not going to listen to their customers, why bother doing the survey?

Having to create a policy is not the same as a simple checkbox to disable something.

One would think if customers keep complaining about something that a company would look into changing it. Such as people who complained at having to use a screen in their car to change a/c or temperature or something simple. Car manufacturers went back and put buttons and knobs in to make things easier.

Apparently Mozilla isn't interested in simple. Like so many other companies, the object is to make things as complicated, convoluted, and inconvenient as possible.

""Run as fast as you can.""

Translation: Me like money

For all they keep doing, the one thing they can't seem to do is make a checkbox to stop being harassed about updates. Apparently there is no way to do to this. It's much too complicated for them to figure out.

Perhaps they should put out a notice asking if anyone has the skills to create the checkbox and make it work.

That's likely part of the problem.

It stocked a bunch of cool nifty things that people talk about but don't necessarily want to buy (or buy many of/often).

The museum gift shop description sounds like that to me anyway. Like I bet it has rope loop guns there.

Sort of like what thinkgeek was back in the day.

My friend's daughter already does this for a local supermarket.

She fulfills online orders meant to be picked up completed. It's not a terrible job either.

As an anti-racist with a geography degree, this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Walk into any classroom on earth and chances are good they won't have the mercator projection on the wall, they'll have something better representative of area, often a Robinson projection.

I suspect the audrino hobbyist market is functionally zero relative to radio shacks footprint. It'd be essentially the same as the business closing financially.

I think AI is a great term.

It's ARTIFICIAL intelligence. It's not real intelligence.

The problem is somehow people think it means real intelligence and treat it as such.

Ok, I'm tempted. Not enough to preorder, but if the reviews are good enough I might go for this.

A tourist to San Francisco probably thinks it's like LA since that's the majority of what we see in media too (Hollywood being there and all).

Of all you've seen is surfing, beaches, and partying in open courtyards: San Francisco can definitely be a shock.

I've been to both.

Windy and 0degrees f in a NY winter is much colder.

Which isn't to say that temperatures in the 50s (especially after a sunny day) aren't light jacket weather. But NY winters are brutal. I've never felt the cold of sleety 35 degree day with high winds in San Francisco. To say nothing of a windy sub zero night.

That's no longer true.

People getting home from work and cranking up the AC tends to be more demand than daytime in modern times.

I find the fact that it can play some games interesting and there's probably something to follow up there for those smarter than me.

(Though I don't care enough to see how well it plays the games it's "good" at).

I think it's more:

Company falling behind in AI tells everyone "let's slow down".

My understanding is that they're pretty similar in performance and an order of magnitude more expensive than the Chinese models (some of which are open weight), and behind Anthropic and even Alphabet now for work.

This reminds me of a case where a British court and an American court each ordered litigants not to litigate a case in the other's court.This was in law school decades ago and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's the same kind of issue where if you want to do business in either country you can get easily screwed.
