For a compression format? I’d say it’s still relevant. Compression ratio and speed are the only meaningful metrics. And I’m not saying winrars still the best, clearly 7z has taken over in that regard. But for it’s own niche use case from years back it was clearly the better product.

Winrar definitely compresses better than zip. At least based on my experience.

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.

Lmao, musk is on record as making absurd offers and then trying everything he can to back out of them. I’m not sure why he offered this himself instead of getting a consortium of investors together to do so on his behalf without any involvement from him.

Tbf all platforms have this. Steams not much better. Neither is the Xbox ecosystem. We truly are in the worst timeline.

Wow AC shadows pre sale levels must be really bad. Not too surprising tho. For a studio that basically said “there’s way more interesting time periods we want to focus on” the fact they finally went to feudal Japan felt more like they ran out of interesting ideas. Doesn’t help ghost of tsushima beat them by a few years and was basically the best AC game since black flag.

Legitimately what’s stopping them from accepting the ban and just releasing tiktok 2 with another name. Everyone will hear about the endorsed tiktok replacement and flock to their instead of the other weird Chinese app people are moving to in protest. Literally unless America bans China operating in the States their just going to whack a mole this until America stops singling it out.

Not to even mention valve is just flagrantly violating open source licenses. They’ve patched things like sddm to support the steamdecks specific gameplay style login screen but those patches are not public. At one point I tried installing an alternative mutable os but a lot of functionality was just broken because of things like this.

Pretty much. Although I continue to be annoyed this ever even needed to be asked. There’s literally a browser setting to communicate this “do not track”. EU really should’ve just forced everyone to respect it :/.

Statistically sure but then it’s on the algorithm to recommend stuff that interests you more. Reposting things is just spoofing the recommendation algorithm and making things more likely to bubble up to you which is always going to cut both ways. Some people want duplication, others don’t.

Not to be that guy but no one expects someone to stumble on earlier posts and thus not repost them. But you can quite easily search for them before reposting the exact same thing. One requires luck the other requires care. It’s similar to not asking for support with an issue that’s already been discussed in a separate users question.

Can they add chromecast as well. Absurd that it’s a closed source protocol that still doesn’t work well with Firefox and other browsers.
