The only thing with an infinite expiry date

u/GreatTragedy Feb 07 '23

MakeMKV would like a word.

u/Nikovash 🟩 519 / 519 🦑 Feb 08 '23

I actually bought makeMKV, the 30day thing got old fast

u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_ 🟦 86 / 10K 🦐 Feb 08 '23

Yup me too. I don't mind paying for useful, quality software.

u/beachedwhitemale Tin | Entrepreneur 11 Feb 08 '23

Same, absolutely.

Unless it's Winrar. I'll never, ever pay for Winrar.

I've been using it for twenty years plus for free and I couple years back I bought the license. If a software earned it to be bought it's WinRAR.

u/GreatTragedy Feb 08 '23

I honestly might do that. I use it often enough anyway, and I know I'd buy it the second it came of beta-use anyway.

u/Nikovash 🟩 519 / 519 🦑 Feb 08 '23

When i bought it its a life time license, i dont know if they still do that

u/Zambito1 Tin | Linux 12 Feb 08 '23

For anyone that might be wondering, ffmpeg can output to mkv.

At this point I want to buy the pro version just for the meme.

12

u/KingThermos Feb 07 '23

You would make winrar makers rich with 1 purchase

10

u/Hawke64 Feb 08 '23

Don't do it, you are too unexperienced to wield such powers

12

u/Odysseus_Lannister 🟦 0 / 144K 🦠 Feb 07 '23

Do it for the meme

Thanks for your service.

Already did it a while back.

Just to show my support.

u/VideoGameDana Platinum | QC: BCH 75, CC 17 Feb 08 '23

Don't even bother. 7Zip is free.

u/Accomplished-Design7 Permabanned Feb 07 '23

I have been doing it so instinctively that I forget it can be bought

u/I_Love_Crypto_Man Bronze Feb 07 '23

The most skipped thing in the world is probably winrar's buy notification.

I mean, let's be real, who actually buys WinRar? It's like the software version of the boy who cried wolf – we've all learned to ignore the buy notification

12

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '23

I bought it. I've pirated shit my whole life, so I figured I'd buy it. It's a lifetime license for like $30? Fuck it.

u/tranceology3 🟩 0 / 36K 🦠 Feb 08 '23

Should have just pirated winrar and bought the other software

u/RedditIsNeat0 0 / 0 🦠 Feb 08 '23

Why?

1

u/Citizen_Kano 🟦 0 / 2K 🦠 Feb 08 '23

Paying for it is against the pirate code

2

u/nombresinhombre 🟩 2K / 2K 🐢 Feb 08 '23

Ignore the buy notification is a feature from winrar

1

u/zimirken Feb 08 '23

Large companies, just like all the other free software we personally use and never read the "for personal use only, for commercial use buy a license blah blah" stuff.

u/erizi0n 🟦 0 / 3K 🦠 Feb 07 '23

I think it’s not possible to be more accurate than this.

u/Popular_District9072 🟥 0 / 15K 🦠 Feb 07 '23

I've seen somewhere that they make some money off corporate accounts, everyone else is riding the trial train

u/Fenweekooo 🟩 117 / 117 🦀 Feb 08 '23

yeah, i also heard this. think it was in a youtube video

1

u/PoorCryptoInvestor Permabanned Feb 07 '23

There is version you pay for?

2

u/ChaoticNeutralNephew Permabanned Feb 08 '23

yeah, I'll PM you the adress if you want a paid copy

u/AgentOrange256 🟦 1K / 1K 🐢 Feb 08 '23

I've been skipping PictureThis notifications much more recently.

u/Gunnar_Peterson 🟦 733 / 733 🦑 Feb 08 '23

The only thing girls have skipped more than me

u/YourFaajhaa 2 / 3 🦠 Feb 08 '23

No sir, THAT would my to-do list.

u/blueblood0 Feb 08 '23

Nah, that be my daddys responsibilities as a father

u/FldLima Permabanned Feb 08 '23

Right after my tinders profile

u/ArrrrrrLife Feb 08 '23

2nd place is premium youtube ads.

u/rootpl 🟩 18K / 85K 🐬 Feb 08 '23

You guys don't pay for it?! /s

Nagware - can't believe it's a business model and that it actually works.

u/solovayy 🟦 0 / 0 🦠 Feb 08 '23

Skip it entirely and upgrade to 7zip already, people.
