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.
They should also make a shirt that says, “I did buy WinRAR and I also bought this shirt” to really corner the market on WinRAR-related apparel.
"I paid for WinRAR" with a Mister Moneybags kinda character saying it or something. That would be fun.
7-zip.
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.
Didn’t 7-zip have a vulnerability a while back?
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.
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.
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.
Can I get an indefinitely fully-functional trial version of the bag first?
People are making fun of it in the comments, but i ordered one on restock day and I'm excited!
It should absolutely come with a free copy of WinRAR.
Technically everything comes with a free copy of WinRAR
I actually really like winrar. Is it my format of choice? No, there's open free alternatives. But it was a legit better product developed by like one guy that they then proceeded to give free access to with a license that incentivises paying them for their work and has probably raked in insane sums from corporations over the years. It's what happens when you have a Microsoft like idea without the endless greed to sprawl into a billion dollar company.
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..
You're meant to compress your belongings before they go in the bag, then decompress them when you need them.
Hella respect for this move, and i like the look of these. I just wish it had come at a time before I was concerned about the price of everything that I need to survive sky rocketing. Would have purchased 2 years ago.
I bought WinRAR, for a pretty specific reason: It can handle Japanese locale. The assorted games, patches, manga, and so forth couldn't be handled by 7zip/PeaZip at the time.
tar -xfvz
-f needs to be the last argument here as it expects the file name correctly after
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.
WinRAR was the saviour of every inexperienced Minecraft mod enthusiast, though
For that price, does it compress anything you put in the bag?
Yeah that’s called a bag of holding and it would be worth 1000x that. Hell I’d probably save up all my Pennie’s for that.
This actually looks like a really nice bag though lol I might actually buy this if it were a bit cheaper
Libre software selling whatever they can is good for maintaining development.
If the Linux kernel ever changed to AGPLv3 I would for sure buy one GNU/Linux stable release each year to make up for corporations that would ban Linux from their network due to AGPL3 legal obligations.
It’s proprietary.
corporations that would ban Linux from their network
You can't change the license retroactively. Corporations would likely hard-fork the kernel at the last GPL2 commit and move it to a restricted but compliant access model like Red Hat did.
TIL they have a Linux version of WinRAR
Missed opportunity to call it LinRar
I'm troubled by that literal brick of leaf cards
I bought it decades ago, but lost my product key. 😞
The varsity jacket looks like a 6th-grader designed it.
Yeah... I'd buy some of this stuff to be ironic, but it doesn't look very good 🤷♂️
The answer to that question: "by never buying a WinRAR bag?"
Oh it's not a joke.
My reaction to this whole year tbh
