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 like it!!
“I paid for WinRAR” with a Mister Moneybags kinda character saying it or something. That would be fun.
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.
People are making fun of it in the comments, but i ordered one on restock day and I’m excited!
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.
I can quickly summarize:
Word Vegan + Not A Vegan Thing = Bullshit For Morons
In that case just call it something else. Hell Chrysler created “Corinthian” leather to make the garbage they put in their cars seem like it was fancy.
And as a moron I would honestly suggest just tricking us with a delicious name instead of trying to make a vegan cheese steak that tastes terrible, then it makes younger silly moron me feel like vegan food is pretentious and terrible.
Now that is absolutely untrue and in the ensuing years my dumbass has had lots of absolutely delicious food that I didn’t even know was vegan.
Y’all gots a marketing problem, ease us morons into it, with delicious butternut squash soup.
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 believe they’re re releasing these from ~2 years ago lol. I’ve definitely seen these before, I don’t remember when, it was certainly more than a few months back.
tar -xfvz
-f needs to be the last argument here as it expects the file name correctly after
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.
This actually looks like a really nice bag though lol I might actually buy this if it were a bit cheaper
Its stupid.
There is no usability or design, it’s a box on a rope. They didn’t even try.
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 🤷♂️
That sucks. I’ve never used winrar but I am actually in need of a bag upgrade so I was going to look at it.
I use tar. And they never beg for money
Tarrrrrr… Gz
Can I get an indefinitely fully-functional trial version of the bag first?
As someone who actually paid for WinRAR, will I get a free bag?
Also, does it count if “I” paid for it on the company card
I paid it.
Why did you pay for winrar? Would you still do so today or do you find that free/opensource alternatives are as good or better?
Idk about the person you replied to, but I always told my self I’ll pay for this if I ever get a well paying job. Eventually got a high paying job, and paid for a product key.
Ofc mass layoffs I’m back to struggling but at least I kept the promise I made to myself.
I’m a developer, too, and I did shareware/donationware ages ago.
I simply paid WinRAR for their work, from one honest developer to another.
And no, I would not pay today, as this was just for a windows box I used for a job at that time, and where I needed a halfway decent archiver tool, which Windows does not supply out of the box.
I usually work on Linux, where lack of fundamental tools is not an issue.
Opensource software is free most of the time. It doesn’t prevent people from paying for it, too.
WinRAR does a job, you need it, you can pay for it, you pay for it. Not everything is about racking the maximum amount of money while avoiding every single expense, no matter how petty. These days there’s certainly competition, but you should remember that it’s been around for a long time.
