    TLDR Some folks just never update their software. Idk if this is just a Windows problem but damn. I remember reading about this 0-day months ago and thinking to myself malware groups will have a field day before the vulnerability finally becomes dead just because of this.

    Maybe because of the fact that they can’t pay their staff, because nobody pays to use their product.

      Except it’s been developed and maintained by one guy, for the past 30 years

      I’ve paid for winrar because I decided I’ve used it for the better half of my life and well kindly keep using it and getting rid of that pop up whilst also giving back to soldering i use regularly was the right choice for me.

        Likewise! Once I finally started making real money I tried to buy software I pirated early on. Even if I don’t currently use it.

      I paid for it 🤷 that’s how devs can afford to keep working on their open source projects in the long run.

      Wrong wording due to posting early in the morning, meant any independent work…

      • I paid for it too. I mean fuck man. I’ve been using winrar for almost 30 years. That’s more than I can say for most things in my life. I figured it was the least I could do.

            You guys are all Eugene Roshal alts. Aren’t you? Nice try Eugene!

            Edit: in reality I think Eugene is a badass who has done something really special in a world overflowing with greed.
