Win 11 "Compress To ..." now offers 7z file as a compression format.
Google AI says:
No, it is not bad for a CPU to run at 100% for hours, provided that the cooling system is effective and the CPU does not overheat. CPUs are designed to operate at 100% load, and prolonged use at high temperatures is the primary cause of reduced lifespan and potential damage. If your CPU's temperature stays within its safe operating limits, you can run it at 100% for extended periods without concern.
What to look for:
[*]Safe temperatures:
For prolonged heavy loads, temperatures between 65°C and 80°C are generally considered safe and normal.
[*]Ideal vs. acceptable:
While temperatures under 80°C are fine, aiming to keep them below 80-85°C is a good goal for long-term operation.

What to look for:
- Temperature is key:
High CPU usage isn't inherently bad, but high temperatures are. Monitor your CPU's temperature in addition to its usage.
