Sandboxie, CCleaner/Speccy(Recuva/Defraggler get included in the bundle), Fences.

WinZip is worth every penny

Shit that I really need to use for work and that there's nothing else in the same level of quality or follow the industry standards.

And sometimes shit that is cheap enough and offer me something that I consider valuable for my time like some silly plugin or even some simple software I don't want to make but it sorts some shit out etc.

Malwarebytes.

is this thread satire?

only millenials post here nowadays?

there isn't much that is worth paying for, maybe some games, definately not an operating system. I used to think paying for professional software is worth it but there are almost always open source alternatives.

WinZip was the shit back in the 90s tho

intellij
gitkraken

jetbrains IDEs

There's almost always a way to get things done, sometimes it's just worth the money to do it the easy way though, or support a good product. Automatically opening stuff in certain areas in sandboxes is nice. I don't know of a good alternative to Fences for making Windows 10 comfy. CCleaner/Speccy have been incredibly helpful for the years I've been using them, so I didn't mind supporting them, and it takes them from being among the most annoying to update of all my programs, to second to pretty much only games for updates.

I unironically registered WinRAR, TotalCommander and TheBat! I even registered Opera back in the days. I also donated to some, like Irfanview. I barely use WinRAR anymore, but I used to use it all the time.

Honest work deserves some honest pay. I know this rubs the software marxists the wrong way, but that's how I see it.

Total Commander, PowerISO, mIRC. All of these are lifetime licenses.

Smooth Video Project is the last one I bought.

This

None

Well its actual shit now

>Malwarebytes
I've thought about it. What makes it worth it?

Very few.
Adobe CC would be decent for 20 bucks less a month but my company pays for it so I don't really care.

Fantastic Flame Screensaver
laconicsoftware.com/fantastic-flame-fire-screensaver.php

It's was already shit then. Back then, this was a godsend since there were practically no other options.

>CCleaner
Kek, piriform can fuck right off

Anything that you need to make money because it's an investment.
Really really good games that you enjoy with friends.
Online services that guarantee your privacy for cash, because honestly if they're free your privacy is done for anyways

Background scanning, web filters and anti-ransomware service which works and its not just a gimmick.

That is all.

>using windows

You gotta love Stardock. Anti-DRM in their games, fuck-my-shit-up DRM in their software.

I tried mIRC back in the day, but didn't like the interface and ended up back on Hexchat. I don't use IRC much anymore, but if I do, what makes mIRC the way to go over Hexchat?

First I'm hearing on either of those. What's wrong with Piriform, and what DRM is in Fences?

Small file size, no gtk, support.

>they charge for screensavers
kek

piriform lost my trust when they released 5.33, here's a bit from wikipedia because I'm lazy:
"In September 2017, CCleaner v5.33 (32-bit Windows) was compromised with malicious code that could install a backdoor enabling remote access of 2.27 million[23] infected machines.[24][25] Of these 2.27 million PCs, 40 received a second-stage payload that appears to have targeted technology companies such as Samsung, Intel and VMWare.[26] On 13 September Piriform released CCleaner 5.34 and CCleaner Cloud 1.07.3191 that do not contain the malicious code."

Also: "In July 2017, the company was acquired by Avast Software"

take the avast part as you will, if it was intentional or not I cannot say.
Best Case they neglected their duties to check their software which for me is enough to not use it.

Literally none.

Why? What do you actually use that the community edition does not offer already?

Some software that allows me to diagnose my car's electronics and whatnot. Worth every benny so far.

7zip is free

>Why? What do you actually use that the community edition does not offer already?
Not him, but I bought Ultimate for all of the web and database tools, plus better Spring support.
Plus the decompiler is great for libraries you don't have the source for. It makes figuring out what exactly a method does a lot easier.

mobaxterm

Absolutely none.

I'd be cool with paying for a private license of TV, but no way I'm buying a commercial one when most of the time I use it is because I'm too lazy to walk 5m to see the other computers screen.

TV = teamviewer

On Windows:
- Sandboxie
- Netlimiter

WinRAR would be on the list if 7-Zip didn't exist.

On Android:
- Poweramp
- X-plore file manager
- Nova Launcher Prime

Their software is good, but I don't like paying for nagware.

>WINDOWS XP, VISTA
>and 7
anyone have a review of this product :^)

Well, I knew it would do that before I got it, so I'm okay with it and I use it enough and it makes my life convenient, so I'd be ok to give them money, after all they need to keep their servers up as well (that's the part I actually dislike, why not enable me to make a direct tunnel and just keep track of all the IPs?)

i bought malwarebytes
i donated to irfanview , and i think i donated to 7zip.

i want to donate to the crystaldisk guy but i don't know how to read moon runes

Netlimiter sounds awesome. Does it have any downsides, or would it be a good idea to get so that I can keep downloads running while playing games online?

pinta

wait it is free actually
