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

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

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

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

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

[-] Persuader9421@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

It even supports .rar and .7z now

[-] tubaruco@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

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