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.

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.

This is a multi-decade process to be sure. Even just getting to 90% might be enough, if we can ramp CO2 sequestration (another decades long effort).

If you have data on the MWh/KWh A/C reductions shave off peak that would be interesting. The Casio site shows explicitly batteries contributing 30% of the grid supply in the evenings. I don't believe you can get there with A/C reductions.

Both help, but my understanding is batteries are far larger in their capacity.

the CASIO site clearly shows batteries providing 30% of grid supply in the evenings just yesterday.

Batteries allow the time shift of midday solar energy surplus to when there's a deficit in the evenings. CA has cut gas peaker usage in the evenings by over 50% in just 5 years.

TL;DR Trump Lackey / Doesn't Read

Yep, curtailment is just future battery storage.

It would be stupid to build a bazillion GWh of storage without the generation to fill it. Both are happening at increasing speed.

Weekly? pretty sure that would make the news.

As for smart thermostats vs batteries - batteries are explicitly listed in the graphs providing 30 percent of evening peak power just yesterday. https://www.gridstatus.io/live...

Smart thermostats definitely help but you'd need millions of houses pre-chilling down to the mid 60s before seeing demand reduction similar to batteries contributions. Most people aren't going to do that.

CA has cut gas usage during the duck curve in half in just 5 years.

With the advent of sodium ion batteries for grid scale storage, capacity won't likely be an issue for more than a decade.

More energy hits the earth as solar in an hour than the human race uses, in all forms, in a year (at least before hyperscale data centers anyway).

An 8000:1 surplus. And that's *just* solar.

We need a book that explains how AI technology functions.

There is a huge amount of news and comments, but apparently nothing that helps people understand how AI is developed, and functions.

I think that this is really a data center spending ceasefire to delay the bubble popping rather than these companies suddenly growing a sense of responsibility.
