What's the oldest piece of technology you use everyday?

[Dark Agent]

The oldest device I use is my trusty old white iPhone 4 running 5.1.1 for Music/Internet Radio. It has got a new battery and lasts for days without a charge

I use a laptop from 2003 pretty regularly when I need to go full stealth mode. It's still running with no issues. In those days, laptops were more professional tools and expected to be tough, utilitarian, and to last. Not like the disposable crap of today.

not everyday, but I hop on my apple ii multiple times a week to play a couple of games I have

[SolidStateSurvivor]

Used to be my 1967 Lafayette LT-425t reciever in conjunction with my 70s Kenwood record player. Although I haven't been able to set all my audio equipment since I last moved.

Occasionally I'd use my early 2000s Pentium desktop for gaming and running old programs but it's been having issues properly turning on and booting up.

Tfw all my stuff is recent

I don't have any old stuff, mostly stuff from Max 3-4 years ago.

 

[brentw]

Probably my old ass refrigerator or stove.
Or maybe the the Furnace/AC in this place. That trooper is older than most of the users on this site.

The microwave. It belonged to my late grandma (passed in 2017) and I have no idea how long she had it before. Still works well though.

My mixing console is from the mid 80s. My reel to reel is around that age as well. My Canon AE-1. Love that little camera so much. Some old CB radios from Radio Shack. My area actually has a fairly lively CB community and its really fun to listen in.

What laptop do you use if I may ask? I'm in the market for something similar.

An old thinkpad. Best laptops ever, imo. Will soon be replacing this one, though. It's just a little too slow these days.

Old Microwave Gang!

This classic is from 1986 and still going strong.

My Canon AE-1

Oh hello fellow film camera lover. Trying to change the little foams inside I accidentally glued my Fujica ST705's back shut

 

[Jessica3cho雪血⊜青意]

Oldest hmm... Perhaps my Panasonic TH-42PX60U plasma tv. Its from 2006, so its a year older than my Toshiba HD CRT. Watch everything post-2007 on that bad boy. Used to have a Dreamcast from '99 I played pretty often, but my dad asked for it, so I shipped it out to him.

 

[Mamisu]

My record player is pretty old. So I'll go with that.

 

[tanker]

i used to use an ipod classic until its hard drive shit the bed. just one day some tracks just wouldn't play anymore. looked at diagnostics and sure enough, bad sectors galore. so i bought a replacement used one because they discontinued production in 2014, and its drive was even fucking worse. went on to spotify after that. i miss ripping whatever from soulseek and deezloader, cutting my own tracks from live shows on youtube etc.

I have the exact same Canon! Probably one of the oldest things I still use as well

If you still have the iPod and only the HD's dead, you can get flash modules to really easily put micro-sd's in just about any of the old iPods

God damn that UI looks so much better than newer smart phones. I wish they'd just kept it like this
