Hello everyone! Today, I am excited to share with you ten hidden or less-known Windows Command Prompt commands. These commands can help you manage your computer more effectively. Since many of you use screen readers to navigate your PC, I will explain each command carefully and step-by-step, so you can easily understand how to use them.

**9. shutdown /a**  
This command cancels a shutdown in progress.  
How to use:  
- Type `shutdown /a` and press Enter.  
- If a shutdown is happening, it will be canceled immediately.  
Tip: Use this if your computer is shutting down unexpectedly and you want to stop it.

**10. robocopy**  
This is a powerful tool for copying large amounts of files.  
How to use:  
- To copy a folder and its contents, type `robocopy source_folder destination_folder /E` and press Enter.  
- Replace `source_folder` and `destination_folder` with the full paths of your folders.  
- The `/E` option copies all subfolders, including empty ones.  
Tip: Use the Tab key to autocomplete folder paths and check the command with your screen reader.

These commands are very useful and can help you do many tasks more quickly and efficiently. Remember, when typing commands, use your keyboard and screen reader to navigate and hear what you are typing. Practice these commands slowly and carefully, and soon you will master them!

history-of-7z-file-extension  

Hello. Today, I’d like to share with you the history of the 7z file extension and its settings. If you’ve ever used file compression tools, you’ve probably come across 7z files, but you might not know where they came from or how they work. Let’s explore the story behind this popular compression format. The 7z file format was developed as part of the 7-Zip software, which was created by Igor Pavlov in 1999. 7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver designed to compress files efficiently while maintaining high quality. The 7z format was introduced as a new way to compress data more effectively compared to older formats like ZIP and RAR. One of the key features that made 7z stand out is its use of advanced compression algorithms. It can handle large files and compress them to a smaller size thanks to techniques like LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm). This algorithm provides better compression ratios, which means smaller file sizes without losing data quality. In addition to its...

deepseek-r2-ai-model  

Hello! I hope you're having a great day. Today, I want to talk about a really exciting development in the world of artificial intelligence—an upcoming AI model called DeepSeek R2. This model is generating a lot of buzz because it promises to shake up the AI landscape with its impressive capabilities and incredibly affordable pricing. DeepSeek R2 is being described as a game-changer. It's built on the foundation of its predecessor, DeepSeek R1, but with major upgrades that make it more powerful, efficient, and accessible. Leaks suggest that it features a massive 1.2 trillion parameters, though only about 78 billion are active at once thanks to a smart hybrid architecture called Mixture of Experts (MoE). This design allows the model to activate only the most relevant parts for each task, which means it can run faster and use less energy without losing performance. What’s really incredible is the cost aspect. Rumors say DeepSeek R2 is about 97.3% cheaper than top competitors like ...
