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

              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.

          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.
