This forgotten Windows shortcut from the ’90s replaces your worst terminal habit

Pressing F7 in the Command Prompt displays a pop-up with a numbered list of recently executed commands, allowing users to select and execute commands quickly without retyping. This feature, introduced in MS-DOS 5.0 through DOSKEY.exe, has been integrated into Windows since the early 1990s. Users can navigate the command list with the Up and Down arrow keys and execute a command by pressing Enter. The command history is session-specific and is lost when the window is closed. The F7 feature provides a visual overview of commands, enhancing efficiency compared to repeatedly pressing the Up Arrow key. However, it does not retain command history between sessions or offer advanced features found in modern shells like PowerShell.

Google removes messaging app Telegram from Play Store, Apple likely to follow suit

The Indian government has removed numerous channels, groups, and bots from Telegram that were allegedly promoting fraudulent activities and misleading information, following insights from the National Testing Agency (NTA) and state law enforcement. This action has drawn criticism from digital advocacy organizations, such as IGAP and the Internet Freedom Foundation, which argue that the approach may disproportionately affect legitimate users of the platform and that fraud can occur across various platforms. The restrictions, enacted under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, will limit access to Telegram throughout India until June 22, 2026, and require the platform to disable message-editing capabilities for all Indian users until June 30, 2026.

GTA 5 Free New Single-Player Content Is Going To Change Everything

Grand Theft Auto VI is set to debut later this year, while a free expansion for Grand Theft Auto V is being released to keep players engaged. GTA V lacked single-player story expansions, which fans have long desired. A new modding tool called RPFKit is being introduced for PC players, replacing OpenIV and offering features like a world editor and file editing capabilities. This toolkit will allow players to create and explore mods, including the possibility of recreating the map of GTA VI in GTA V. The community is excited about RPFKit, as it provides a modern alternative for modding. There is speculation about whether GTA VI's PC port will support mods, as Rockstar has historically been more lenient with single-player mods compared to GTA: Online.
