    7zip will unpack rar files? I’ve used it for years and never knew.

          If you give it access to robot arms it will.

            What about the emotional baggage I lug around on a daily basis?

        You may have problems unpacking RAR of latest format versions with 7zip. It’s been some time since I encountered that.

      Yea. It just can’t pack files into RaR.

        I can’t find any reason why someone would still use rar in 2023. When I see anyone using it, it means to me they’re as technologically literate as my grandpa.

          So pretty literate compared to most older people.
