It must be nice only having to use Linux. Some of us actually deal with more than one OS.
You can install WSL almost as easily as finding and installing those 3rd party zip tools. Then as a bonus you'll also have plenty of other tools to easily get all sorts of real work done.
In before the idiotic comments of "people still use WinRAR? HAW HAW HAW!"
Yes, I still use WinRAR. It's interface is MUCH better than WinZip (whose interface borders on the insane). And Windows built-in zip support is sucks ass and is limited.

Hey Linus, large successful projects need emotionally stable people at every level but especially in high level / key roles.
If so, the USA is doomed.
I think that Stellantis should be sold to a Japanese car maker next. That way all three Axis powers would get to have their turn to manufacture Jeeps and create patriotic All-American TV ads.
Thank goodness they collapsed instead of exploded!
The British can't seem to get a break with hydrogen.
First, the R101, and now, this.
You're the one who thinks that starting the process of migrating away from a language that is stuffed with hundreds of snprintf()-style footguns is a "bad change".
You must be the guy who's responsible for keeping strncpy() in the standard C libarary.
Can't change it. Even after 50 years. Never. There's nothing wrong with it at all, you just have to know how to use it.
Even if only 10% of C coders actually know how to use it, that's fine. Just make sure you always only hire the top 10% of C coders.
High schools didn't start having computer rooms until sometime in the later half of the 1980s.
Now get off my lawn...
We had a tiny computer room by the end of the 1970s. It featured a slightly bug-ridden used PDP-8 that had been donated to the school. IIRC, two people could use it at the same time: one on the CRT monitor and one using the line printer as a "display". Luckily, only about a dozen students at the school knew how to use it, because after school hours there were always several geeks in there vying to get one of the two seats.
During my last year there, they also added a couple of TRS-80s. That changed the dynamics of the computer room quite a bit, because now there were a lot more dorks crowding in to play video games.
What Federal gov't positions have these strict drug and alcohol requirements? The last couple of weeks of confirmation hearings makes it clear that it's certainly not top leadership roles.
My pixel 4a is going strong
Hopefully with this mysterious battery situation, the old Irish Spring TV ad doesn't apply:
"Aye, a might too strong!"
Leavitt claimed the Biden administration "sat on its hands and allowed China to rapidly develop this AI program,"
That's right. Biden should have been the one to drum up a huge $500B AI boondoggle. Then the US would surely have been the first one to discover that you actually only need a few million bucks to achieve the goal, and the leftover $499B could be funneled into executive bonuses.
Meanwhile, the Chinese would have been so awed by this feat that they would have gone back to just screwing together iPhones.
iit pleases me that PCs are finally giving us enough keys to represent them all.
The new key replaces either the right-ctl or menu key, so you're not getting any new keys. Basically, the key that was already there just sends a different keycode. Stupid.
On keyboards where they replaced the control key, I would map it back to control. There's no way I'm going to go through finger contortions to hit the control combos for keys on the left side of the keyboard.
On my current keyboard, I already have the useless menu key mapped to the (missing) right-windows key (which on Linux is in turn mapped to "super"), so I can do all the combinations with either hand. If they replace the menu key with the copilot key, I'd map it to the windows key.
Where did I say compilers operate at runtime? I didn't. You simply got an idea in your head that had nothing whatsoever to do with what you read.
I told you to carefully re-read the messages, not just come back and re-assert your misconceptions.
Your reading comprehension skills are well below par. Go back and read the OP and my reply to try to get at least an inkling of what we were discussing.
No True Scotsman would ever use Java Beans.
Computers don't actually think. You just think they think. (We think.)
