I've gotten this from friends.

I got this from a service technician once. He was like, "So you know code? Say I had my wife's phone, but not the password. How could I get into her Facebook Messenger??"

And I was like, "... So can you fix my drain line, or no?"

Sounds like that guy needs a marriage counselor, not a hacker.

I just get teased by my computer guy because I still use WinZip. Apparently that’s now considered “retro”. Ow my dignity.

Apparently 7-Zip. I’ve never felt bother enough by WinZip to stay en vogue with the times I guess.

7-Zip is open source while WinZip is not. Also, 7-Zip's native format, .7z, is superior to Zip.

7zip has been "the standard" for like twenty years

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I used 7zip for so long I thought it was retro by now.

Man, I'm over here still using my paid version of WinRAR like a boomer, and it seems to work just fine.

[–] wolfpack86 2 points 10 months ago

I was wondering where this left WinRAR. I never felt like WinZip was ever cool.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

if winzip is windows only, the cool new zip utility is stock windows explorer

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It even supports .rar and .7z now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

oh thats good, that means everything will start using .7z because of how much better it is at compressing files, right? ...right?
