But someone could MITM your forecast and tell you it wasn't going to rain, leading you to get soaked for lack of wearing rain gear /s

I stopped using the Dashboard weather widget when I realized it was giving me the weather for Minneapolis, Kansas, because it was ignoring the state part of the location, and Kansas comes before Minnesota alphabetically.

Huh, that's odd—it's absolutely programmed to look at city and state individually. I had to interface with that code in my version.

When I type Minneapolis into my version, it correctly displays both cities (alongside Minneapolis, NC) the drop-down, and lets me choose between them. I would have expected the original to do the same thing, but I obviously can't check now.


Sorry, I wasn't clear. This was back in 10.4 or 10.5. I remember seeing Apple had fixed it in a later version like how you describe.
