What's the oldest piece of tech that you still use?

[pyral]

By tech I don't mean a hammer, I mean something electronic. I still use a KX-55W to make tapes for the car and my current phone is an iphone 5. 

[wasab]

Oneplus 6. Kept it for the headphone jack. I had its battery replace a couple months ago and I used a good case and screen protector. It is just like a new phone. With 8 gig ram and snapdragon 845, it won't age for a long time.

A TI-85 that I program for various calculation tasks at work. Eventually I'm going to have to translate those programs into another version of TI-Basic, because sadly the screen is starting to fail as they all do.

My 2014 MacMini that I use as a browsing machine when I’m not using my main rig

Wheel. I got 4 of 'em on my truck.

 

For uh... 'Modern technology', probably a switch that was salvaged by the previous owner of the house from something antique. It's used on the irrigation pump, which is in a pump house, so it's pretty difficult to get pics of it sadly.

Toshiba Portege M780

 

It doesn't get used a whole lot, but i still pull it out every now and again

[Moonzy]

Off the top of my head would be a core 2 duo and core 2 quad system, both are running right now

 

Benchie (in my sig) is my core 2 quad system, though I've been using it for something else so it's no longer Benchie, in a sense that it's not for my bench to test hardwares.

[Husky]

A Fujitsu/Siemens 1024x768 CRT monitor from like 2003 or something. I use it occasionally in the server room as part of my KVM when I need direct console access to a server.

[it_dont_work]

Bench top power supply, doesn't even have a brand it was a custom unit made for a rank arena repair shop in Sydney. 60's maybe 70's  

[mousesnob]

Some radatiors and gentle typhoons from like 2011/2012 in my gaming pc

[WhitetailAni]

Some 5.25" floppy disks.

Yeah, no. I will never press play on anything you people reply with.

This is a forum, words exist for a reason.

That is not my problem.

How do you fit an entire computer into your Sig Sauer?

10yo laptop as my secondary one. 2nd dual core gen i5, GT540m, 6GB ram. Hyperthreading was a feature then even on "core" lineup and can be disabled in BIOS. Desktop crashes when I force it to run on integrated GPU xd. Battery is completely dead. I recently put an SSD in there to make it somewhat usable. Has an integrated DVD reader, usefuel when I can't find my external one for new laptop.

 

8yo NAS, 3TB HDD, one of those ready-out-of-the-box from WD. Actually it is bottlenecked by my extender secondary router it is connected to that can only do 100Mb via LAN.

 

9yo monitor as my secondary one. 1080p60, made by Samsung.

If I had a drive, I'd have some disks.

But I don't.

I have a barn which has a switchboard. I think it was put in sometime in the 1930s, but the barn is older than the 1920s. 

So to clarify, power goes to a few lights. Bulbs have never been replaced so IDK how old they are. Also has a water pump, but thats 'new'. 

 

For like computer-tech, probably an old plasma from 2004? that hardly gets used. On a daily basis, would be my Apple Watch. 

[Monkey Dust]

Doesn't get daily use, but I love to get my NES out occasionally. 

[Haro]

My Slim PS Vita, not really that old but it's the oldest piece of tech that I use from time to time.

lol the vehicles at work are ancient jap imports that actually have some nice electronics in them. Some of the hondas have a CD player that can keep about 10 CDs in memory. At least one ~15 yo car has a vtech engine and a 7 speed gear box. I'd buy any of the models that dont have a CVT transmission.
