>>51639785
which zip has a password?
It's either zip without a pw or a rar with a pw
>>51639945
.zip archive that is password protected
Can you read?
>>51639976
yes I can read it. It's a super niche file. Why don't you download a super niche app like the unarchiver?
>>51639785
Today was my co-worker's first day on the job. He brought his generic laptop with him.
How the fuck can they ship an OS that can't even open a .dmg with a password? How is that good?
>>51640015
>It's a super niche file.
Haha, no it's not.
Any Linux distro comes with the tools to open archives with passwords. Windows does too. OS X Just sits there and stares at it like a retarded child.
>>51640079
.dmg is a super niche file
>>51640102
Something that's used to distribute apps for Apple computers… Apple being like the richest company in the world…
Yeah I'm sure it's super niche.
>>51639785
I am pretty sure OP might be the retard.
>>51640119
What sort of fucktard would you be to try and install software packaged for OSX on some other OS? It's not going to work, why include software to extract something that's not going to work?
>>51640119
Lol rich and niche are not mutually exclusive
>>51640086
Also why are you so surprised you need software to open a certain file type? Sure, it's convenient if it works out of the box but who the fuck cares really?
I mean Internet Explorer comes bundled yet people look for alternative browsers. Same goes for WinRAR/7-Zip to open zip files.
And OS X has been able to mount ISO/DMG natively for like a decade, something Windows JUST got like a year ago.
>>51640015
> password protected zip
> super niche
My dear child...
>>51640146
You're right… But judging by the butthurt from all the MacFags people keep seeing, it's not like Apple computers are rare these days.
And they can open many types of files by default that Windows or Linux can't.
>>51640158
.zip is like the de facto standard, and OSX just can't handle it without extra bloat.
>>51640158
Why the fuck do I want to go around looking for software to perform every single task? If I was into building an OS, I'd install LFS or something.
I'd rather leave the basic tasks to the in-built tools so I can actually get stuff done.
>>51640182
>And they can open many types of files by default that Windows or Linux can't.
Such as? (Don't say dmg)
What the fuck are you morons talking about?
This is Archive Utility, the default OS X app for expanding zip files, asking for a password.
>>51639785
>using default archive extraction tool
for fuck sakes why?
>>51639785
>How the fuck can they ship an OS that can't even open a .zip with a password
Windows is the same as of Vista (2006).
>>51640241
rekt
>>51640238

[spoiler]fight me faggot[/spoiler]
>>51640255
If it works, why not?
>>51640274
Very mature.
>>51640241
I shit you not. Saw it wit me own two eyes today.
> click to open .zip
> nothing happen
Did he remove or disable this default tool built into the os? What the fuck. I don't know what's what now.
>>51640224
>Why the fuck do I want to go around looking for software to perform every single task?
Because they are usually superior? Basically everyone I know installs third-party programs for everything.
No one I know uses Internet Explorer for example, but an alternative browser.
Everyone also uses WinRAR or whatever archiving program they have to open ZIP files as well, even if they can be opened by default.
Same goes for e-mail, media player etc. People get better options.
>>51640285
In this case, it doesn't work.
In Windows' case, it's tends to add extra clicks compared to other extraction tools which can extract in 1-2 clicks.
>>51640315
>I shit you not
Nigger you're either trolling or retarded. Possibly both.
It literally just takes a double-click and it will prompt you to enter the password. No fuckery needed.
If you can't manage to do that, you should probably just kill yourself.
>>51639785
Stop. Its a small problem. All other os's have problems too ok ? Now just fucking stop.
>>51639785
>passwording archives
fuck you anon
>>51640366
>Its a small problem
Except it's no problem at all. OS X opens zip files just fine. Password-protected or not.
>>51640361
It didn't work. Not my laptop either. Sorry Mac users fuck their shit up and make the os look bad to others
>>51640374
Do you suggest sending company info around in plain text? For real?
>>51640390
Don't blame your own incompetence on the software. That's just embarrassing.
>>51640315
I don't think you can, Archive Utility is just a gui for cli 'zip' and is itself in Core Services. He'd have to use cli to get rid of it in the first place, I think you'd have to use sudo.
But yeah it's not an OS X capability problem, it's something else.
Cool story bro.
You definitely got everyone fooled with that outdated piece of information, but OSX has been able to create and open password protected .zip files out-of-the-box for years.
But yeah, /g/ is fucking retarded and will go with any Apple hate no matter how false it is so it's no wonder people fell for this and will probably continue repeating these meme for the next few months.
>>51640406
>using archives to hand out company info
what is a secure server
>>51640412
Not my incompetence since it wasn't my device.

Weird. I'll probably have to fix his shit tomorrow
>>51640269
vista lets me do my work
vista lets me shitpost and watch porn
why should they change it?
>>51640336
>>51640340
You guys are using Windows Vista or what?
Nearly every Linux distro has included basic functionality in-built that covers the use cases of 90% of the user base.
Including proper archive extraction tools that support just as many archive types as your spyware winrar.
>>51640440
>Not my incompetence since it wasn't my device.
So if I hijack a car even though I don't have a license and then drive it off a bridge it's not my fault because the car wasn't mine?
Great fucking logic you retarded dipshit.
>>51640448
What Linux distros have doesn't matter, their marketshare a shit.
Even Windows 7 has a shitty zip extractor.
>>51640448
>90% of the user base
It's not so hard to meet the needs of a few dozen people. :^)
>>51640440
>Not my incompetence since it wasn't my device
It's not your competence because you never even tried it... You just made up a story to set up another one of those "Apple Hate General" threads that people keep posting all the time.
Sadly, this time you failed because people noticed that what you were saying wasn't true.
>>51640440
>Not my incompetence
So you didn't think that maybe, just maybe, an unsupported format might generate a dialogue? You just assumed "nothing happening" is the intended behaviour? No error message or anything else?
You can't even use fucking Google? God damn it's his first day and it should have been your last.

>>51640315
LOL, OP confirmed for fucking idiot.
>>51640536
>He couldn't get his computer to open the file.
Sure but YOU couldn't either.
Just because he was too retarded to do something and he asks another retard for help doesn't make the thing broken.
Ten retards not being able to tie their shoes doesn't mean shoes are useless.
>>51640390
blaming mac users for you being a fucking idiot
>>51640536
either troll or idiot

It's ironic isn't it?

source?
>>51640575
I love this post.
>>51640536
you'll have to get him in the system anyway so why do extra work? oh I know why, you saw a mac and went "oh let me show this guy his computer is shit" real mature dude
>>51640635
OP wishes he had the balls to do this.
Instead, he just posted lies online.
>>51640563
*click button*
Nothing happened, welp, this is clearly what's meant to happen, as a human I should not question this even remotely and simply move on. I deserve my salary check and am an asset to this company.
>>51640315
>wit me own two eyes
nigga you gay
>>51640561
I accept that you're making up the fact that I made it up. That's okay.
>>51640575
Honest, I didn't try because he didn't ask me to. He just frantically started fucking with homebrew and whatever other app sure is there.
>>51640635
>>51640654
It was his first day and he had his personal computer. Get with it.
>>51640666
Again, not tech support.
>>51640315
nigga you don't know what from wut, nigga.
>>51640678
Hey OP, I'm on windows, can you recommend an archive program to unzip a zip file, it don't got no password doe?
think you can help me.
LOL, Thanks for my best chuckle all day OP.

What a bunch a keyboard cowboys. Real internet rough necks.
>>51640743
Hi, OP !
>>51640733
Please grow up.
There are other jobs besides it helpdesk
>>51640743

Except this never happened. OP insists on his lies and tries to defend his retardation.
>>51640678
>Honest, I didn't try because he didn't ask me to. He just frantically started fucking with homebrew and whatever other app sure is there.
kek
literally probably fucked his computer over somehow
>>51640757
>>51640241
>>51640315
>>51640678
>It was his first day
Judging by your incompetence you'd think it was yours.
Either way, I hope it was your last.
>>51640678
Common sense problem solving is "tech support" now? Really?
If the light bulb in your office doesn't work, do you change it or do you go jerk off while you wait for maintenance to come help babby out?
Christ, if you work in anything remotely IT related, you MUST surely know OS X has Terminal, and you don't even think to say "hey dude try zip command line"
Nobody is this stupid, must be bait
>>51640756
hai guiz, this OS saks, xd lol xD can't even open zip wit password haha, mac faggots
>grow up
ok, kek.
>>51640315
you don't know what from what.cd
take it to the Genius bar
it just werks
>>51640611
checked and yes.
>>51640795
Please point out the exact line where he thanked anyone for anything.
The only thing I see is "I shit you not" which implies he stands by his original point that it isn't/wasn't possible.
>>51640809
Words
>>51640829
that kill
>>51640844
> I am autistic and don't understand paraphrasing
>>51640808
Yes, obviously you need to be IT support to double-click a ZIP file.
Just like you need to be an electrician to change a light bulb or a barista to put on a new can of coffee.
>>51640875
>I am autistic and don't understand doubleclicking
>>51640875
Lol, he totally paraphrased thank you.
So my take away is that since I didn't bend over backwards to help some new guy do trivial things on his own machine even he didn't ask for help, I should be fired. I see g lives in the real world.
>>51640938
If he didn't even ask for help then why the fuck did you offer to help him when you had no idea what you were doing?
Seems like this whole situation could've been avoided if you weren't a retarded. Also being able to open the ZIP, kek.
>>51640938
>helping a coworker
>bending over backwards
You are a dick.
Coming through. Coming through. I make more money than anyone else in this thread and didn't read past the 4th post.
I use OSX. Who the fuck still uses zip? Christ baby jesus for a tech board you guys are pretty incompetent.
>he doesn't have stuffit expander installed
>>51640977
I didn't offer to help him to open a zip file lol
>>51640991

no
>>51641090
last time i used a mac for anything everyone used stuffit
>>51641119
ok thanks grandpa
>>51641119
Got my first Mac in 2008. Haven't needed Stuffit so far.
>>51641006
instead, you use...?
>>51641025
Mac OS X? More like POS X: OP can't into google edition.
>>51641142
Not him but I use the built in Archive Utility (AKA double-click) for ZIP and "unrar" through Terminal for everything else.
>>51639785
The Unarchiver. Free from the App Store :^)

>>51641293
the version of unzip in OS X has been the same since 2005. seriously.
So pick one of the following:
* It wasn't a Macbook, it was an iBook froom 2003 or some shit
* Your zip file was fucked up such that no password was seen
* You're telling lies (most likely, since you're now adding in the detail that he used the CLI after all)

Like I'm on trial or some shit. You guys.
Could have been from 05, I don't follow Mac stuff.
>>51641468
I'm now submitting to the court that I told him about the -P flag, so I DID HELP HIM!!! My story is full of holes!!!
The troll must be hanged.
I have an idea, lets stop arguing over useless shit nobody cares about, ignore the troll thread, and actually discuss technology?
>>51641793
Macs and zips are technology, bro
>>51641793
this.
this is literally a problem domain for pgp anyway.
I don't even know what a "password protected" zip even uses or why you'd use it anyhow.
for all I know. maybe op gave him some proprietary implementation that OS X can't handle as well.
