This box cutter tool, which is https://a.co/d/aOxoVOp . It makes opening packages so much easier. It doesn’t have a blade, so it’s much safer to use than scissors or a knife.
A better tool for basically the same price is a OLFA LA-X. It's a Japanese designed box cutter which has a retractable blade on one end and large dull metal pick on the other end for quickly stabbing packages open.
A sous vide machine. It's just a fancy stick that circulates water at a precise temperature, but it makes the most delicious and tender chicken and fish that you'll ever make at home.

Aster ( https://www.ibik.ru/ ) Surprisingly functional multiseat for windows. Lifetime license 50-100 for 2 seats depending on region. Partner's computer went kaput, and used this + steamlink to turn monitor into another computer. I see people online using this to play two seperate games on different "seats". Was planning to get seperate media centre PC, but this worked so well I ended up using money to upgrade PC co…
Doesn't this violate most Windows Licenses? Windows simultaneous multiuser support on all NT-based OSes but it was normally disabled by policy unless you paid for the Server license. This is why Windows RDP normally locks the local desktop when you connect remotely rather than spawning a parallel session.
