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

    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.

      My new favorite website: no ads, no JavaScript, and works with curl.

      Thanks for sharing it!

      I never knew about this one. I use curl ifconfig.io all the time also.

            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.
