1Password, 6 years ago

>>57148457
And let me start:

I just paid for Drawboard PDF today
zero regrets, this thing is amazing for my workflow

i think is the first time in... i don't even remember... an ipod 1G app perhaps, almost 6-8 years ago

>>57148457

Outside of videogames, I think the last time I actually paid for a piece of software was Windows NT 4.0

ESET Internet Security, 5 years ago.

>>57148506
There were no apps on the first gen iPod YOU FOOL

>>57148457
I donate to open source projects.
Donated to fsf yesterday.

>>57148594
it was an ipod touch man
i remember i bought an alarm application that let you play a song

spotify, 9 days ago.

>>57148457
never tbqhwy. Always used freeware alternatives, which went to free software later.

Netlimiter Pro, three months ago. Need to run some programs in parallel that are retarded with bandwidth.

>>57148457
I technically bought a Windows 7 license when I built my PC 3 years ago.

Before that. Kaspersky like 7 years ago.

>>57148619
YOU SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED, I APOLOGIZE

>>57148457
never anything other than games. bought plenty of hardware, though.

>>57149120
yeah i totally forgot that the ipod from that era was called touch

>>57148457
Poweramp, 2yrs ago

>>57148457
never. company buys licences for shitware that i have to use though

>>57149120
Calm down, sperglord

>>57148457

And nothing before or after it, that is not from Steam or GOG.

That banner makes me nostalgic

I bought the latest Deafheaven album on iTunes

>>57148457

Jbridge external VST host program about 2 years ago.

Well worth the money. The dev deserves to be supported.

WinRar. 3 years ago.

>>57148457
Poweramp for 0.10€
Only player on the market to have tempo shift, no regrets.

>>57148457
Nova Launcher Premium about 3 weeks ago. I really enjoy the finger combo shortcuts.

>>57149641
>zip

Fucking never. I'm glad Katz died a drunk and in pain.

>>57149689
>software

Bought Windows 10 like a month ago for new build. Though it's probably was OEM or something (~$30).

I bought the Hal 9000 screensaver a few years ago, looks quite nice over three monitors. Other than than I've never paid for any software.

>>57148457
i bought the SVP software a few weeks ago. but before that? i can't remember..

>>57148457
1989. April or May maybe...

Bought MalwareBytes Premium or whatever about 2 years ago....

>>57148457
A few months ago. Pokertracker 4.

amazon.com

Kontakt Komplete 11 , a month ago.

>>57148457
Never.

No games? Shit.
Took me a while, but I bought Microsoft Publisher for my mom a few years ago.

I've got a few mobile apps I'm pretty seriously considering upgrading. A sleep tracking one and the Nova launcher. But I haven't yet.

>>57150513
Nice.

>>57148457
I donated 20 bucks to Ardour

also bought Poweramp on Android and I actually regret that

i haven't bought software in well over 15 years, the only thing i've spent money on is hardware

I have no problem compensating a dev for good, opensource sw that I use a lot. If there's a donate version, I buy it, whether on Pay Store, XDA, or whatever. Tit for tat.

>>57149151
Well yeah, it's kinda hard to torrent hardware

>>57148457
Protonmail in February.

I did not buy any software for years
using opensource or pirating the occasional app was my way to go
also snatching uni licenses, or work serials (sysadmin privilege)

one day i saw an application to help proper my music collection
no pirated versions
10e

and i thought 'you are trying to justify such a cheap price, for an app that will save you a lot of time, but you can waste the same amount on a burger king menu any other day'

since then, i buy all my software, the same as vidya
not that it is much, because i go opensource most of the time, but i stop going torrent for 10-20e stuff

it feels good to be honest

Nova launcher on android, only thing I've bought.

On a whim, I bought Pythonista on my iPad about a month ago. I think I've opened it up maybe 3 times.

I think I last bought Monster hunter tri for the wii 2010/2011. I haven't spent a dime on software, I can usually torrent it if I really need it.

Years ago I paid around $40 for blu-ray ripping software because it wasn't on a torrent. I forget the name. Still saved me tonnes of money as I could get discs at the library which weren't on torrent and save them to a NAS instead of buying them.

>>57148457
Why can I empathize with this image so easily?

i bought the "donation" package of superSU most recently

like a year ago

>>57154609
>>57153550
>Vidya does not qualify

i bought used cisco hardware so i could copy the the ios software in gns3

i think it's still technically illegal?
but cisco would rather have you do that than download a copy from someone else

http://symless.com/synergy/

>>57152818
you could do that?
>tfw paid $19 for basic version

10/10 would recommend tho

>>57148457
i bought a MacHeist bundle about 6-8 years ago

it was 5 apps or something like that, for 30e

too pricey by my today's standards

>>57151170

Yo ho and a bottle of rum

Whatsapp

>>57156332
why am i retarded for offering a free software alternative to a simple program that charts your ping and packet loss?

>>57156341
because you can say "free" forever but then you're like


"DM me i've got work

and then you dont have work...you ask for money

so then you say well that's why and how it revents packets loss, and i go wait but you said free


and then you say "nothing is free and I say that's why i called you retarded and we move on...

>>57156355
you should call an ambulance. I think you might be having a stroke.

Kaspersky, 1 year ago

It was only $5 for a one year subscription.

Even adblock and Common Sense can't stop pop-ups and their bullshit.

oh i totally forgot about android apps, they count right?
i payed for plumble to support the devs
i also did the same with betterbatterystats

>>57156396
$5? how?

>>57156424

Was just Anti-Virus. Don't see it that low now.

some Aiseesoft video converter
Only because I was tired of pirating it
sometime last year

before that, Camtasia Studio 6, which was 3 years ago

android apps does qualify
but not music or movies

EDS for Android, 5 days ago.

>>57157734
what is that?

>>57148668
Spotify is a service, not software.

>>57148457
>OEM does not qualify
>Vidya does not qualify
If I take this into consideration, then never, I guess.

I paid for an android 4chan browser called mimi.
Pretty disappointed to be honest.
Why the fuck isn't clover still on Google play? That shit was perfect

>>57158144
you don't need root to use fdroid
and clover is there

I donated to a TV show tracker I use.

>>57148457
I paid for ShrewSoft's VPN client. Cisco seems to think that if I want to use Windows 10 to connect to my customers I need to tell them to upgrade their appliances.

They barely have the money to pay my invoices, much less pay Cisco for another broken fucking appliance. So I tried out this ShrewSoft client. It worked out well, so I paid the guy.

>>57148457
>vidya does not qualify
Then never. If vidya was included it'd be 5 years ago.

>>57158199
Posting from clover now, it looks even better than last time I used it. Thanks mate

When I was still a teenager and didn't know about LibreOffice I bought the Microsoft Office suite for college.

I got ripped off bad, I tell ya.

I have never purchased any software at all.

Free as in Freedom.

I will admit old '95-98 software looks pretty cool though. They all have keys avaliable now, so if you want to experiance it you could just run the software in WINE with an mstyle of your choice!

>>57158650
this guy right here is the only person on earth that i know bought an Office license

would really like to see what the piracy rate of office is

>>57158650
Only software i've ever paid for was a pirated copy of photoshop 5.5 someone burned for me. I paid 4 dollars.

>>57156396
You dumb.

Windows 10 2 months ago.

I still feel kinda dirty but I just wanted everything to go smooth with my first build.

I was already so deep it was caressing my testes what's a 100 more at this point.

>>57148457
i paid for an IPBoard license a few months ago

>>57156281
None, I just really liked their software so I wanted to support them

Bought Windows Server Essentials for my business a couple years ago, along with Office 365, Intune and Panda Cloud Antivirus.

>>57156490
>AV
>needless
Reminder that some ransomware is spreading through unpatched vulns (sometimes even 0-days) with no need for user intervention, and that some AV heuristics can block those.

Hope you learn to always use an AV before you catch some nice ransomware!

>>57148457
never

Bought total commander on windows even if the shareware version only had a nag, totally worth it been using it for 20 years, android version is free, i use it as well

>>57148457
Wolframalpha app for W10.

It's shit, download the android one and use it on your mobile.

>>57159329
I bought the wolfram alpha Android app a few months ago, other than that... Does textbook companion online software for college count? I've had no choice but to buy those.

I purchased a license for ShareLaTeX. Does that qualify?

>>57148457
Solid Explorer i guess if phone apps count few months ago, dont remember paying for software on my computer for long time though

>>57148457
Black Ink.
>tfw it's still considered WIP

>>57157850
>Hide and protect your files inside an encrypted container.

I don't think I've ever paid for software, but my father bought me Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010 four years ago. I never wanted those things, so I never budgeted for them.

>>57148457
MATLAB and the NI myDaq bundle for college. The MyDaq is inaccurate as all fuck. I do not understand how It's fair that faulty hardware and software are required for various classes, especially when I could have purchased a good multimeter and power supply.

MATLAB isn't bad though. It gets the job done.

some photo editing app for android, at 0,10€.

>>57148457
Bought Cathode (it's a terminal app with effects to look like old school CRTs and shit).

It was only $5 and looked neat, and for some reason my dad always gives me iTunes gift cards even though I pirate music so I have a shit ton of money in the app store anyway that I can't really use for anything else.

>>57148457
Been using computers for 18 years never paid for any software.

wtf is wrong with you anons are you stupid ?

>>57148457
>Vidya does not qualify
I can't remember.

Probably w7 ultimate from years and years back. All other purchases were either vidya or not software.

>>57148457
I actually don't really buy pc software really often.
Last thing I bought was on Android, Nova Launcher Prime - zero regrets

Sublimetext a few months ago

Textual.app

a week or so later i realized that it was actually open source (but the pre compiled version costed money) and i could just download it from github and compile

Never did. I only bought some games.

>>57148613

Yearly payment for VPN service. Other than that I don't think I've paid for software other than norton back in 2005 because it's what came with the computer and I didn't know shit.

>>57162141
about two months ago i bought a book bundle from humble bundle

>neat, a lot of good programming and linux books
1 week later, i visit one of the author's site to realize almos all book in the bundle where available for free

it was a literal humble purchase.... fuck

Pocket Casts.

BloodBorne for ps4. It was $10

>>57148457
Never, because I have never paid for software. Softare is a tool, and proprietary tools are a cancer.

I pay for media and artistic works, for example video games. That's fine, because they are not tools to me - they are a source of enjoyment.

I bought DOOM from the humble store on sale for $30

>>57148457
$9.99 Microsoft Office 2013 Plus
Last year.

Norton Security Deluxe about month ago.

>>57148457

7 Days to Die. I shell out for games that support Linux.

If saas counts, I paid for pokemon bank two years ago

Otherwise never ever.

>>57148457
Tasker for Android a year ago. I was thinking about it for a long time and finally went for it, I was pretty happy. No I have a phone I haven't even rooted, so Tasker can't do the things I really liked. Still, it was under 1€ IIRC, so no biggie.

>>57148457
Winrar, back in 2007.

>>57149641
How much was that anyway?

I actually un-ironically purchased the most high end FL studio 9 .
worth every fucking penny.
10 / 10 would 10 again.

also renoise because they had native linux.

I donated to Antergos if that counts.

>>57148457

I was considering synergy (because compiling the windows builds is a nightmare) however they decided to lump ssl in with the highest price tier that includes support, and considering brexit $30 is now far too much than I'd consider spending on it

other than that I mostly use gnu/linux on the desktop where everything is free as in beer and free as in freedom

>>57148457
poweramp a couple years ago

I actually feel pretty alright about my Office purchase. I bought a copy of Office 2007 Ultimate for $60 during a promotional sale for students (Aptly titled "The Ultimate Steal.")

The timing was such that I qualified for a free upgrade to Office 2010; and since there was no "Ultimate" SKU I got the full blown professional version w/o the stupid non-commercial use clause they stick on the student editions. For $60 I certainly feel like I got my money's worth.

Honestly I just haven't seen any reason to replace it, as we all know the only superior suite is Office '97.

>>57167901
Word 97 is so fast, it opens practically instantly even on my Pentium II StinkPad

>>57148457
You don't have to *buy* software these days, you usually pay for software services. Skype credit, google drive, dropbox, amazon, netflix, etc.

Not video games?

Probably Office 2010.

>>57167997
The future kind of scares me. Managing all these billing accounts is starting to be a pain. I have a feeling at some point people will just buy into Google/Apple/MS's respective ecosystems wholesale, if only so they don't have to update their billing information with dozens of service providers every time the card expires.

I think we're quickly headed towards a future where you pay your OS vendor a nominal fee to provide "everything you need." Cloud storage, an office suite, streaming music and film, etc.

I'm already seeing universities and small businesses around me buy into the Microsoft Cuckfest. With the advent of Windows 10 we have truly entered the age of "OS as a service."

I don't like the world /g/, it's a scary place. Thank god for my several terabyte stash of anime.
