Agreed! I think it is the "millennial" way...Is it the "dir" command, or "directory" command...many DOS, Unix, programming languages have these acronyms that were for the most part (at least in my experience) called by their full, proper names, as opposed to their abbreviations. I think in today's fast paced society, where everything is "acronym-nized", people tend to pronounce the acronym, as opposed to the "proper" name.
@@midnitetoker420 A lot of this goes back to earlier days when operating systems like CP/M and MS-DOS had three-letter commands, so what you typed was DIR to get a directory, and later these developed subcommands like dir/p or dir/w.

Thank you for all your time you have spent making these videos, they have helped me more than you would ever believe and I do not say that lightly. I've been attacked and you'd not believe what all they did to me that affected me far beyond the use of a computer or phone.

I'd just add this to your list: powercfg -h off It turns hybernation off and you get a few GB of stogare that are normally reserved for the hybernation file. Useful on small SSD's
@@servusdedurantem Wasn't dissabled for me and almost everyone I talked to. As far as the dmg to SSD's goes, this is the first time I heard that. Do you have evidence that supports that claim?
@@arsenalgear3009 SSDs typically use flash memory which has a finite amount of read/write cycles. So if the hibernation cache is an actual file that would probably shorten the life of the drive.
One of my favorite commands is mklink, with it I can create shortcuts that programs and games can use. For example, if I want to move the save folder of a game to somewhere else, I can simply move the folder, then use mklink "old location" "new location", and the game will still find the files, with a normal shortcut that wouldn't work.
Hey Thio. Just a quick heads up. The tracert command is actually short for trace route. On Cisco routers and switches, you will find that the use traceroute as the command. In Windows, this is shortened to tracert.
I should mention that if you notice number 6 (@9:40) detects a sector error, you should probably get another drive because sometimes, fixing it could do more damage than good and it only means you could have more bad sectors very quickly. At least backup if you care about anything on that drive.
On an HDD this is sometimes true. On SSD, probably just file system corruption. when running CHKDSK I use "CHKDSK C: /r /x" which does the deepest scan and is often successful at recovering data. This can catch corruption you didn't know was there - there's some in most systems after a few months. Ideally, CHKDSK, NETCFDG -d (clears adapter drivers and tcp/ip stack), reboot, SFC, DISM and then SFC again. you can put it all in a batch script as long as you run it as admin. sometimes SFC can't finish the fix until DSIM has run, and visa-versa, so this covers all the bases.
Here's another command I find worth learning: It's how to make yo PC shut down in a predefined amount of time. It's got this format: shutdown -s -t [amount of time in seconds] So to make yo computer shut down in 5 minutes, it'd be : shutdown -s -t 300
continuous ping add -t to the end of what you're pinging especially helpful when working on a remote computer and you want to know when it is back online.
