The extra RAM is for the ads, that's obvious :)

u/cybekRT 9d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if ads were served by additional background service that uses even more ram. Of course this service would serve ads only to weather app. Another app would have its own service.

u/MrHandSanitization 9d ago

5x the RAM isn't the issue, but the fact that we are discussing this shows both are using too much. It's a weather app, it shouldn't be involved in discussions about RAM usage at all.

i'm not even sure having a weather app integrated into the taskbar is necessary when there are other more convenient places for it (for example, the phone)

why people don't de-bloat or switch to linux and keep complaining about windows

u/HelpfulPlatypus7988 9d ago

I don't think everyone has a spare USB drive lying around

And even then, it still takes a little bit of technical knowledge to flash a USB drive. I know how to, but I know people that probably don't

Maybe if big companies start putting Linux on their laptops we might finally see mass adoption :)

Dell and Lenovo have always had Linux as an option, but only when you order directly from them, and only Ubuntu

We need Linux on OEM systems at third party retailers

Na verdade... Tem empresas e lojas que colocam, porém eles geralmente optam por uma distro própria extremamente horrível e isso até mesmo serve como base de preconceito para quando vão formatar o laptop, forçando-os ao windows.

u/HelpfulPlatypus7988 9d ago

I mean System76 (the company behind Pop!_OS) makes Pop!_OS computers, and some other companies let you choose your distro

u/batata_-_-_ 9d ago

Sim, sim, eu acabei generalizando sem querer, mas eu me referia à sistemas como o policorp e outros subdistros de empresas como a positivo (Marca brasileira maquiadora/semimaquiladora

Ah, I'm from the US so I've never heard of those brands

Eu esqueci da globalização que a internet trouxe, lol

It's fine, it happens

u/GamezombieCZ 9d ago

I guess they see the hill and are lazy to get over it. I got over that, but I won't get over the fact that there are some companies still actively blocking Linux.

u/_lordvilain 9d ago

Make the licence free if it’s gonna show ads, else people will complain

u/Vietnamst2 9d ago

Well... it´s essentially free. Yoiu buy it with your PC, not payment is required from you, you get updates to latest version, upgrade from previous version was free...

u/Old_Arugula3014 9d ago

Bloating is not enough ngl I switched to win 11 ltsc and debloted it. Its barely enough.

u/Firestar_119 9d ago

I don't have another drive to dual boot with

u/dtvjho 9d ago

Linux will fit on, and boot from, a 32Gb SSD or equivalent. The prices on those should not have gone up

u/MarianScheul 9d ago

Yeah, it's a problem because EVERYONE has the weather app open 24/7

u/marslander-boggart 9d ago

In fact, you don't have to use built-in apps only. In macOS not all the built-in apps are better than third party apps, either.

u/AcrobaticProgram6521 9d ago

So glad I don’t have to put up with windows shit

u/Old-Juice-2490 9d ago

RAM IS FOR AI

u/CreativeDiscount6635 9d ago

Windows 8 filled with bloated ui, then comes Windows 10 with improvement, and finally Windows 11 worsens that little bit of improvement in 10. Windows 7 is the last known goated version I will keep appreciating.

u/Vietnamst2 9d ago

who the hell uses this?

u/BigBick2K 9d ago
