I don't think I've ever actually used the official build of 7zip on the command line. Only the older p7zip version on Linux. The p7zip version by default uses all cores and hits 100% on all of them compressing a single file. Per

I assume you mean command line? The 7zip UI appears to set threads to the number of CPUs by default for LZMA2, and hits 100% on all cores. Zip format also defaults threads to number of CPUs, but only hit 30% CPU (over 16 threads) on some t

I assume they're just being used as ads? The page does say you get a logo and a non-follow link for donating. Then again, I checked a random company, Fire Stick Tricks, and they donate to a bunch[1] of open-source projects. So maybe

It's definitely been getting worse over time. There are people in these comments suggesting that only people who think global warming was already true become climate scientists. Or that people only push global warming (and vaccination
