    It’s also not a really “needed” tech anymore either with high speed transfers and no bandwidth caps. Yes there is cases for it, but they don’t apply to a large amount of people either.

      There are literally billions of people in the world who would disagree

        And literally billions who would as well. I never said the other side didn’t exist. Just that these limits aren’t legitimately thing for some people.

          You said it wasn’t needed, which means you either didn’t consider the existence of other people or said “yeah but fuck them”

            Where did I say that? I said it was NOT REALLY needed. I even said both sides exist in another sentence.

            That means that both sides exist. I’m sorry you missed an important word that changed my phrase from one meaning to a vastly different one!

              Buddy Im sorry that you worded your statement horribly, but come the fuck on. You know you’re being ridiculous

                It’s ridiculous to think there’s a large portion of people will never need to manually zip or unzip something…?

                No, it’s ridiculous to think that everyone else in the world must share your same experiences.

                It’s not worded horribly, you just have a ridiculous notion that everyone must have the same experiences in life apparently. I stated both sides existed, twice in the same comment.

                  The sheer amount of irony to be this close of being self swsre is frankly comical.

                    I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

                    And why is this communities go to insults when questioned or they missed the point on something? Very mature.

      Wow, that is some fine ignorance!

      Data compression is allaround us in the modern world, often integrated in places we don’t see it clearly.

      Office documents saved in the OpenXML format (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx for example) are all actually zipfiles, you can use 7zip to explore them, but don’t use any important document.

      There are multiple types of data compression algorithms, some are far more efficient than normal Zip.

      Other types of data compression tools are: gZip, Bzip2, XZ and rar. Facebook even built it’s own compression tool, Zstandard.

        Of course there is uses for it, did I not say there was?

        There is also literally people who would never need to use a zip file. The post also isn’t about automatic ones, it’s about ones manually zipped and unzipped.

        Who’s the ignorant one…?

      Lol I feel bad you’re being downvoted because I do believe there is some truth here. Back in like 2009/10 everything was sent zipped up. Every guy and their dog had WinRAR installed and chuckled about never going to purchase it. You get an email with 20 files and your mate will be like brooo zip that shit

      But that happens so much less now, and I do think thats in part due to more drive space, faster content delivery, larger file sharing via drive/dropbox and internal file compression designed for the particular file type.

        Lmfao I literally said that both sides exist and being downvoted and ridiculed for it. People are ridiculous.
