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
I have a python weather app on my linux desktop using 37mb. 1.6gb seems a tad excessive.
Open web browser -> enter url -> wttr.in/nameofyourcity
Like wttr.in/chicago
Quick and easy. No bullshit.
Work well with curl in a terminal.
Don’t know where it’s pulling the data but it’s definitely not accurate for the couple cities I tested.
I don’t really know, but since it’s a wrapper for Wego https://github.com/schachmat/wego I think it use one of the data source used by Wego. I think that the best improvement could be to be able to choose our own source.
Same here, which is a real shame, because I love the simplicity.
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
I have to use it on a daily basis at work.
Ow jeej. I’m sorry for you.
Translating bash commands to powershell is actually one thing the Google AI really excels at.
Of course I don’t have it build my scripts, but it’s been useful if the Microsoft documentation doesn’t have enough information about the flags.
My new favorite website: no ads, no JavaScript, and works with curl.
Thanks for sharing 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.
One word for peace. Linux. ☺️
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.
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
