The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
I’m honestly shocked no comment I’ve seen here has talked about ‘gnu on windows’ nor Windows Subsystem for Linux. I use both, because I prefer the windows environment but also like linux command lone.
- GOW - GNU Linux tools list like “ls” and “chown” ported to Windows
- Anyone else a fan of GOW for Windows?
-
how the fuck does this make any sense?
Use gow, and WindTerm; and if you want an even better experience install lsd, fd, and lf all of which are downloadable via Chocolatey, the Windows package manager

Ah, you're on Windows, so you don't have those utilities. Looks like these days, folks are using GoW (GNU on Windows) to install some useful GNU utilities on Windows machines: https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

Sudo for Windows
Well, sudo for Windows has been a thing for, like, a few years now?... https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo
Not sure if this is the same thing, but this definitely should have shipped with the very first implementation of "oh, sure, you're an Administrator, but not really, since we're ignoring that bit" a.k.a. User Account Control.
That would have saved about a metric ton of misguided "here's how to turn off UAC" tutorials, but, ehm, yeah, anything to inject some life into the moribund Windows Insiders Program (the one where https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ proudly headlines "What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023"), right?

Running powercfg /batteryreport in an command prompt with Admin privilege (or through gsudo) and opening battery-report.html in the directory where you ran it.
