melonDS
DS emulator, sorta
melonDS aims at providing fast and accurate Nintendo DS emulation. While it is still a work in progress, it has a pretty solid set of features. Firmware boot (not direct boot) requires a BIOS/firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly. DS BIOS dumps from a DSi or 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues. -

Rufus
Utility to create bootable USB flash drives
...Rufus can come in handy when you need to simply format a USB drive, install an OS on a machine that lacks a CD/DVD-ROM drive, or when you need to boot an operating system temporarily without intentions of actually installing the media. This can be immensely useful while you're on the go or just need access to an OS for a temporary, isolated reason. The app can even be used to flash firmware to BIOS or other destinations by just using DOS. Even though Rufus is a tiny utility in comparison to other USB creation tools that can be rather bulky in size, it contends easily with the competition and creates bootable USB drives in record time! -

DuckStation
Fast PlayStation 1 emulator for x86-64/AArch32/AArch64
...The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices. "Hack" options are discouraged, the default configuration should support all playable games with only some of the enhancements having compatibility issues. A "BIOS" ROM image is required to to start the emulator and to play games. You can use an image from any hardware version or region, although mismatching game regions and BIOS regions may have compatibility issues. A ROM image is not provided with the emulator for legal reasons, you should dump this from your own console using Caetla or other means. ... -

Fan Control
Highly customizable fan controlling software for Windows
Fan Control is a Windows utility designed to give users fine-grained, customizable control over system fans (CPU, GPU, case, etc.) based on temperature and sensor inputs. Rather than relying solely on BIOS fan curves, it allows dynamic adjustment of fan behaviour at the operating-system level — letting you react to real-time load, mix multiple sensors (CPU, GPU, motherboard, drives, etc.), and define custom fan-speed curves for different situations. The tool supports both manual mode (user directly sets fan speeds) and automated mode (fans follow sensor-driven graphs), enabling flexible tradeoffs between noise, cooling, and performance. ... -
