Newton MessagePad 2100. I used it daily from 2008-2011 (well after I had an iPhone) for office work and everyone thought I was crazy but I loved it. I still prefer the ui for calendar/contacts/note taking compared to everything else out there.

I have a TI 99/4A PC that still works! It has a super weird version of BASIC and I don't have any tapes for it, but it's a cool display piece. I was able to make an educated guess that it was manufactured in 1982 based on the design

My ps1 probably. I just played with it yesterday and I loved it.

Daily? Logitech MX-518. I'd still be using my CeBIT 2003 IntelliMouse if it hadn't been jostled by one too many trips in a backpack. Both are newer than the Max Payne mousepad that is somehow still in tolerable condition.

No, wait. I just glanced at the time on a Westclox digital alarm clock, model 22636, production code 1/10/83. That thing's older than I am. Had to check the underside again: Norcross, GA. I was unsure if "Westclox" hinted at being produced in West Germany.

An Acetronic MPU1000 games console, from the 1970s - 76 or 78 I think. Still worked last time I powered it up, I also got some extra games cheap off eBay a while back, interesting playing something other than the three or four games I remember from childhood.

NAS, 2015. Not too old.

A few, a silver Pikachu Gameboy color, some synthesizers from the 1980's, a unique guitar that I've only been able to find documentation of 1 other one online (Ibanez Nitro full wood body finish - it's certainly a custom). And I think the last pride and joy is my Sony MDR-V600's.

Anybody remember Cube World? Those little electronic cubes that you could magnetically attach to others and they could interact? Got a set of those too.

The music stuff is the oldest but it's mostly second hand so it's harder to claim. The headphones were a gift and new back then though, so they're for sure, same with the Gameboy color and Cube World. Heh :)

Dynaco ST-70 stereo tube amp, probably from the 60s (no date on them that I can tell).

Very proud of it, got it for free at a garage sale. Replaced selenium rectifier with silicon diodes, a few new caps, and new tubes. Sounds great.

My N64. I probably have a few pieces of tech older than me, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

I have a PC from 2004 as well.

Twenty- seven year old wireless keyboard. I love it. Feels great and never fails me. Don't know what I'll do when it finally dies.

As for daily usage and "tech" - I have a Samsung Galaxy S1. The battery still holds a charge and it's being used on a near daily basis (for very simple stuff). Runs Omnirom with android 4.

My fat PS3. Still a good Blu Ray and DVD player.

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The CD player i found on the curb. I had no idea how old it was but i looked it up for this thread and it has user reviews from 2007.

Sony CMT Nez50

Works great, 15 volume already feels loud

An electric turkey-carving knife, made in 1962. GE built it to last.

I know this isn't what you meant but, this week I restored a large format photo enlarger from the 1950s. A Beseler 45 MCXR. I am extremely proud that I was not electrocuted, and I printed a 4x5 negative as a Christmas gift for my mother in law.

Two game boy DMGs, one kept original and one modded with a new shell, membrane, and LCD screen. It's a great hobby restoring them.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I got an Apple IIc. Drive, monitor, keyboard all work.

[-] BlueSharkEnjoyer 3 points 2 years ago

It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.
