Blows my mind that anyone still uses WinRAR when 7zip exists.
What should blow your mind is that it's 2023 and you still need a separate program to extract compressed files on windows. 😂 Good thing they're adding native support for it in windows 11. FINALLY.
Windows has had native unzip support since Microsoft Plus! 98 added it to Windows 98 in 1998.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Plus!#:~:text=ZIP%20file%20integration%20with%20Windows%20Explorer%20was%20first%20introduced%20with%20this%20version%20under%20the%20name%20of%20%22compressed%20folders%22.
Yeah, it just sucks.
Same for Macs. They technically support zipping and unzipping, they're just bad at it. It's so stupid.
How so? I’ve always found finder did a good job.
There's a maximum file size, I forget what it is. And it also can't handle zips in multiple pieces.
That’s where bash comes in 😎
Finder is an abortion, there is not a single thing it does well
An abortion you can't even get rid of! Its icon is stuck the dock forever, even if you use something better like Forklift. The whole mac GUI is just shit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't recall anyone having Plus! back then.
I think we did.
But it was added to base Windows in XP anyway.
When did windows have native rar support?
Since Win 11 23H2. It's not out officially yet but the insider/RC builds have had it for a while now.
