This comic is so old that at some point someone added Rage Comic faces on top of it, and that on itself must had happened more than 15 years ago.
Aww man - I just found out that one of the hospitals I work for has an active license for WinZip…
In the scale of dumb things to waste money on, WinZip is about as low as it gets (esp. in healthcare!), but still - it’s not like the poor bastards had any to begin with!
And ofc after that someone sloppified the Rage Comic version. You see the modified versions more often than the original.
In ancient times, 2010, I actually bought Winrar. I wanted to support the developer. Even back then as a child, I found it so cool that someone would give me a very useful tool like this for free, with an infinite free trial. And then I found out about FOSS, after that my mind was blown.
my company still purchases 3 billion WinRAR licenses every year
In b4 the “my company still purchases 3 billion WinRAR licenses every year” comments.
Aww…
Haha, I was an entire hour ahead of them.
But comment was not in before the 3 billion comment?
To solve your problems, try Summit (if you’re on mobile) 😜 Play store link: Summit for Lemmy
I literally copied it from his post.
And now you learned that your client does not sort comments by time.
Do people even still need to use WinRAR? I mean, the rar format isn’t even that prevalent anymore, not even for piracy stuff…
It was useful 20 years ago, but like, most OS have native support for it now, making it even further useless to download a WinRAR.
7-Zip has long replaced WinZip and WinRAR for me.
Yeah I thought everyone used that. Why bother with Winrar?
I think it’s mostly out of spite.
For me it’s nostalgia…
Arj for life!
On earth we call it Ark actually
Literally the only reason WinRAR had ever been used is because people either didn’t know about 7zip, or their parents dropped them on their heads causing them to “prefer WinRAR” 🤮
It’s what I used for an extremely long time, so i just sort of… kept using it. I’ve only recently swapped to 7-Zip. I think the only feature it has that 7-Zip doesn’t is making part files? But I could be wrong.
part files is what made WinRAR so popular with the piracy community. Especially back in the before times, when you were direct downloading and an internect hiccup would cause a download to fail/restart. Being able to download a thing in smaller parts, only having to restart smaller chunks instead of the whole, and then assembling the whole build as one… that’s what made WinRAR useful…
Compression was nice and all too, but self executing part assembly was the standout feature. Again, rendered useless when download managers are built into modern broswers. You can retry a direct download without having to restart the whole file.
After using winrar for years (after using rar years before that… not sure if it’s the same company), I finally bought to copies a few years back. One for myself, one as a Christmas gift to a friend.
CEO: Holy fuck, those are numbers?
Rocket jump made a whole skit about this exact thing.
