Windows 11 users can now manage RAR archives natively, with no need for third-party software or questionable archive "unpackers." Windows 11 22H2, the past year's last major...
Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library::undefined
Yeah I know, and it’s only useful rarely as if you can extract directly to the target, you don’t need to have an intermediate copy (or do intermediate copying). Really nitpicking ofc.
It’s like when .zip was popular I guess?
Tar.gz is a two step thingy too (maybe under the hood 7z is too) so the extraction process always seems long?
Pro tip: Tar knows what to do if you try to untar a tar.gz file. It Just Works™.
So do zip files lol
Yes but can winzip do tape backups.
What do you use tape backups for?
Nirvana bootlegs.

Eh? ‘tar xvf foo.tar.gz’ is technically 2 steps I guess, but that’s pretty well hidden from the user.
