Mine is constantly disabled. Waste of battery life. Way easier to put whatever indicators in the screen where I'm actually looking at.

Not sure why the downvotes, same here. I disabled mine in favour of sketchy bar [0]. I hide most things except for bandwidth and clock. Super handy.

Probably because this article is about the menu bar, not the touch bar.

Do you have any sources to show changes in battery life? I'm a bit skeptical based on the complexity of menu bar widgets.

Aren't you mixing touch bar with menu bar [0]?

[0] touch bar - I think it's a screen in F-row on macbook keyboards, whereas menu bar is a bar at the top of the desktop that shows current application menus on the left and clock, battery, etc. on the right.
