Because being this blunt about it will likely get it made illegal.

Fair enough.

Serious question, why?

I see this all the time, but I've run my own tests in the past and found WinRAR to be both faster and produce smaller file sizes.

I used to agree with this until I had one false positive me a few years ago. Now I think they're bullshit since the cops that sign off on the citations don't even look at them.

Yeah the upfront cost is more, but personally I think it's more than worth it since it will probably end up being cheaper in the long term, especially if you like to upgrade frequently. I'm personally thinking I'm going to try the framework 16 route once I decide to rid of my current laptop. I hope they take off too and I'm more than willing to show support for a company pushing right to repair.

I don't see how "calculate the probability" and "predict the likelihood" are different. Seems perfectly accurate to me.
