M115 firmware update notice requires physical presence
The last few firmware updates have been irritating in that they cause my printer (MK3S with OctoPrint) to beep and display a notice on the LCD and require that I go push the button to acknowledge before it starts the print. This continues until I am able to find time to perform a firmware update, and I can find no way to disable it. Of course, until I am made aware of the update to know I need to push the button, I am surprised to go down to pick up my 6 hour print job to find it hasn't even started printing yet because of that.
I recently discovered it is the prusaslicer adding that to the gcode as, for example:
M115 U3.8.1 ; tell printer latest fw version
With that, I found this old github issue about this exact problem, that sounds like it was fixed years ago.

Any thoughts on it? Any bypass for the firmware version acknowledgement requirement so the print job will actually print? I don't mind the notice being on screen, but I do mind it not printing because of that.

You can disable the firmware checks. On your printer select "Settings → HW setup → Checks → Firmware" and set it to "none".

Wow! How did I miss that digging through the menus? Thanks!
While I do appreciate the notice of a new firmware update, I just don't appreciate it locking the printer up until I notice and push the button to acknowledge.
