Windows 11 Weather app consumes up to 1.6GB of RAM
*Laughs in Linux laptop with 2GB of total RAM*
I love how they defend it instead of fixing it
Are you telling me that an Apple weather app still slurps >300MB?
How else do you expect to find out the incorrect weather?
Actually, all that is for the tracking cookies. The actual weather data is never stored. This is how they support such advanced levels of inaccuracy.
Thank you. This also removed the incredibly obnoxious AI chat on the side that my ad blocker didn’t catch.
Open web browser -> enter url -> wttr.in/nameofyourcity
Like wttr.in/chicago
Quick and easy. No bullshit.
Work well with curl in a terminal.
But does it also work in powershell? Haha just kidding. Nobody is using that.
But Powershell has curl. … Wait a second… … Takes off mask… Invoke-WebRequest
Why does anyone need an ‘app’ when you could just use a Bookmark to your browser.
I am so sick of everything turning into an app, most things can be handled by a website be that on mobile or pc.
Why go to a site if I can embed it in a dashboard tho?
not a Microsoft dashboard of any kind, but in HA or as a kde background widget…
Under Linux mint in I have an applet for that. Next to the clock.
The weather app is probably using edge aka chrome and they are ram hogs. Event the streaming apps on windows uses edge to get hdr etc
You really don’t understand… it is an app to change the weather by overloading the computer. The excess heat helps to predict a hotter weather.
Powerful computers can act as space heaters in the winter.
I have a python weather app on my linux desktop using 37mb. 1.6gb seems a tad excessive.
One word for peace. Linux. ☺️
