Ohmconnect VS ShellNewHandler

• Free to Join
  OhmConnect is free for users to sign up and participate, with no membership fees required to start earning rewards for reducing energy usage.
• Earn Cash and Rewards
  Users can earn cash payments, gift cards, or entries into prize drawings by reducing their electricity usage during peak demand events called 'OhmHours'.
• Environmental Impact
  By reducing energy consumption during peak times, users help decrease strain on the power grid and lower reliance on fossil fuel power plants, contributing to a greener environment.
• Smart Device Integration
  OhmConnect integrates with smart home devices like thermostats, plugs, and lighting systems, allowing for automated energy reduction without much manual effort from the user.
• Real-Time Notifications
  Users receive alerts before OhmHours begin, giving them the opportunity to plan and reduce energy usage in advance to maximize their rewards.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Availability
  OhmConnect is only available to residents in specific regions, primarily California, which limits its usefulness for people living outside these service areas.
• Modest Earnings
  The cash rewards for participating in OhmHours are often quite small, making it more of a minor incentive than a significant income source.
• Requires Utility Account Linking
  Users must link their utility account and share energy usage data, which may raise privacy concerns for some individuals.
• Inconsistent Event Frequency
  The frequency and timing of OhmHours can be unpredictable, making it difficult for users to consistently plan around them for maximum rewards.
• Dependency on Smart Devices for Best Results
  To fully automate and maximize savings, users often need to invest in additional smart home devices, which can add upfront costs despite the platform being free to join.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
