Usb over Ethernet! I run it in my homelab and it's worth every penny. Amazing tool.

In the last year:

dBpoweramp for, finally, ripping my whole CD collection to lossless. Advantages over itunes: much faster, better feedback on read errors.

VueScan for using my old scanner with modern Windows. Just worked.

OrCAD because Cadence was running a low-cost promotion.

I also upgraded my home use license for Mathematica.

I bought cyberduck last week as I had enough of FileZilla’s update nagging and main thread hogging shenanigans
