    Fun out-of-the-box web commands for Windows 10


    No WSL required; these commands work in the command prompt without any setup whatsoever:

    finger cityname@graph.no - a nice meteogram (also works in XP/Vista/7/8 by default) ssh redditbox.us - a CLI Reddit client ssh sshtron.zachlatta.com - a multiplayer Tron clone ssh nethack@alt.org - a fun roguelike game ssh play@anonymine-demo.oskog97.com -p 2222 - guess free minesweeper; Pass: play ssh brow.sh - a CLI internet browser (I haven't been able to click on things unless I'm running it on macOS or Linux) ssh chat.shazow.net - a chat room full of strangers ssh twenex@sdf.org - play various games including checkers curl https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/KATL.TXT - METAR, replace KATL with any other ICAO curl parrot.live - a cute parrot animation curl https://icanhazdadjoke.com - shitty jokes curl pseudorandom.name - generates a random name curl dict://dict.org/d:computer - dictionary curl 12.io/ip - fetches your IP curl ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8 - fetches your geolocation

    If you enter “reg add HKCU\Console /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1” then ANSI escape sequences will format correctly, which allows the following additional commands to output correctly: (and it colors the parrot)

    curl wttr.in/moon - see the current phase of the moon curl http://getnews.tech - see the top headlines curl cheat.sh - the home display for sub commands to programming resources curl cmc.rjldev.com - get coinmarketcap top 100 cryptocurrencies

    These commands are now possible on Windows 10 since support for finger, ssh, and curl was added and enabled by default. You can setup a doskey for cmd aliases. Note that curl commands in PowerShell must be entered as curl.exe. There are also some fun telnet game servers as well as the Star Wars Episode IV ASCII movie (alternatively you can watch it with Netcat on port 23, which can be installed with Scoop, also try "nc rya.nc 1987") but the telnet feature must be manually enabled (run "dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient") and its known for being an insecure protocol. If you still choose to enable it, here's a bitcoin ticker and some fun game servers:

    telnet ticker.bitcointicker.co 10080 telnet freechess.org telnet aardmud.org telnet telehack.com telnet milek7.gq telnet mud.darkerrealms.org 2000

    I'd recommend Scoop as well as Pip (bundled with Python installation, which can be installed through Scoop and includes twitter and term2048) if you enjoyed these commands and would like more. Let me know if there's any commands that I should add to this list, I found most of them here!

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Fun out-of-the-box web commands for Windows 10 :)
