Hate The Cost of Printer Cartridges?
Then buy an HP printer that comes with an Instant Ink subscription instead. I personally have the subscription that gives me 50 pages per month with a rollover of up to 150 unused pages. This costs me $5.49 per month (CAD) + tax, well below the price of buying new cartridges, in my opinion. HP monitors your usage and when your cartridge starts to get low they send you a new one, with no shipping costs.

HP printers compatible with Instant Ink are available just about anywhere. I personally buy mine at Costco when it comes on sale, which is quite often. If you don’t have a Costco membership, you can also get them at Best Buy or Amazon.

XSplit VCam Webcam Software
I purchased some webcam software from a company called XSplit to professionally remove and blur backgrounds from my webcam. The software I bought is called VCam and I have been very impressed with it. I’ve now bought licenses for both my PC and Mac.
Admittedly VCam is not cheap, but it does what what it is designed to do really, really well, much better than what you see with Zoom or Google Meet.
Note that XSplit has other software as well, concentrating on the professional broadcasting market.

WordPress Backup Software
Are you a WordPress user? If so, you want some professional software like Backup Guard, which is what I use.
We pay for a Gold license which lets me backup up to 5 websites. Handy. It’s very easy to configure for how often the backup gets done, where you want it to go (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.), and for things like email notifications of when backups get done.
