Windows 11 Weather app consumes up to 1.6GB of RAM and displays third-party ads — roughly five times heavier than macOS's equivalent.

    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…

      It’s more fun to have free version of copilot build you a webpage for the weather with just the graphs, numbers and features you prefer, with outrageous styling.

    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.
