hottari,

TLDR Some folks just never update their software. Idk if this is just a Windows problem but damn. I remember reading about this 0-day months ago and thinking to myself malware groups will have a field day before the vulnerability finally becomes dead just because of this.

Peazip is also a very good alternative.

yuuki,

Again? Is it the same one with 7zip?

Poe,

Is it that you can keep using the free trial forever? /s

Koen967,

Maybe because of the fact that they can’t pay their staff, because nobody pays to use their product.

dinckelman,

Except it’s been developed and maintained by one guy, for the past 30 years

Winrar dev gigachad ngl

M137,

Congratulations, you’re dumb as fuck!

I paid for it 🤷 that’s how devs can afford to keep working on their open source projects in the long run.

Wrong wording due to posting early in the morning, meant any independent work…

MuhammadJesusGaySex,

I paid for it too. I mean fuck man. I’ve been using winrar for almost 30 years. That’s more than I can say for most things in my life. I figured it was the least I could do.

Same I bought the physical disk too, not like I have a disk drive. But now I have a licensed winrar disk

Anticorp,

You guys are all Eugene Roshal alts. Aren’t you? Nice try Eugene!

Edit: in reality I think Eugene is a badass who has done something really special in a world overflowing with greed.

PixxlMan,

Winrar is… Not open source. Where did you get that from?

Kecessa, (edited )

Early in the morning post, worded that wrong, but the sentiment is the same, open source or independent projects, the creators need something in return to keep working on them

PixxlMan,

That’s fair enough!

MrScottyTay,

I’ve paid for winrar because I decided I’ve used it for the better half of my life and well kindly keep using it and getting rid of that pop up whilst also giving back to soldering i use regularly was the right choice for me.

Likewise! Once I finally started making real money I tried to buy software I pirated early on. Even if I don’t currently use it.

sunbeam60,

Same, although I do use it out of habit mostly.
