I really, really hate the Edge news feed, which is also built into the Windows 10 "News and Interests" taskbar widget, and there's no way to disable the news feed without also getting rid of the weather. It's so distracting.
One day I spent hours going through and blocking each individual news provider from the feed, hoping eventually I'd reach the bottom of the pile and there would be nothing left. It's never ending though.
Are there good third party weather widgets that can live on the taskbar?
- neogodless 4y agoSlightly off Topic, but I'm on Windows 10 Professional - latest version/updates and I've never been offered the News and Interests taskbar widget. Perhaps because Location is greyed out/disabled (though of course my desktop does not have a GPS...) but I suspect most people don't have location/GPS in their PC. Not that I miss it. Even on my Legion 5 laptop, nothing, though my wife's Legion Y540 does have it. I suspect there's something funky that has it blocked on my Microsoft Account, but I can't imagine what.

As far as I can tell this is traded commonly for revenue, plus govt security people get a place at the table with reviewing sensitive locations and filtering. This all happens without your knowledge.

- lostmsu 4y agoNot on the taskbar, but my tiling WM for Windows has support for widgets. Here's one I use for weather: https://gist.github.com/lostmsu/96ffc76f3f7b27d438fc707863d0ef87 https://gist.github.com/lostmsu/96ffc76f3f7b27d438fc707863d0...
