"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

WinRAR sells a successful and effective product to companies. AFAIK, their main business is B2B.

What do they sell? WinRaR is not a good application

I can name 2 o 3 corpos (big ones) who regularly renew their WinRAR license. And that repays it abundantly.

I thought you were trolling or the it team at those companies were trolling. But dam winrar still has a huge user base and still gets updates.

This is how I want things to work. Big Commercial use needs to pay, everyone else get for free, and open source.
