      It’s fascinating to me that people prefer shitty nagware over 7-zip only because they think they’re “getting one over” by not paying for inferior software and/or feel nostalgic for it.

            For a good while, the UI in 7-Zip was so atrocious merely extracting an existing archive was not obvious. It definitely improved over that.

            I’d argue that even today, WinRAR UI is more intuitive than 7-Zip, but it is largely irrelevant since both have decent integration with windows file explorer anyway, which was also something 7-Zip lacked for a while.

        this? Sort of. In Windows, an archive within an archive within an archive wouldn’t be flagged as a “file downloaded from the internet” so could be executed without malware checks. It’s a windows-specific issue and is only an issue if you’re downloading an untrusted archive from the internet. It’s patched in the latest version.

        Yeah, WinRAR averages about 3 per year.

        All software stacks are going to be vulnerable in some way or another. We don’t have a way to create perfect software just yet.

    I would honestly buy one if it wasn’t $150. That’s so much.

      Ironically so is the price of WinRaR licence when free, better alternatives exist.

    They should sell a t-shirt that says “I never paid for WinRAR and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”.

    I’d buy one.

    Tbh I never found out about 7zip until like when I was 30. And I’m 33 now xd. I used WinRAR for years.

    And I will say, 7zip is much better. No offense to WinRAR. I got much respect for WinRAR.

    You’ve never paid for WinRAR because you’re cheap. I’ve never paid for WinRAR because I know 7-Zip exists.

    We are not the same.

    The bag looks nice, but it’s too small for usage (it’s shown for holding TCG cards). Would need to be closer to being able to hold a laptop, etc. And being made of “vegan” leather is just a turn off. Not for being vegan, but for only being listed as vegan, since it can be made of almost anything and the quality of vegan leather can vary dramatically.

    Vegan leather can be made from plastic or “pineapple leaves, cork, kelp, agave, apple skins, wine-making remnants, kombucha, and more”. Just a basic understanding of vegan leather here..

      I can quickly summarize:

      Word Vegan + Not A Vegan Thing = Bullshit For Morons
