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 :)

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.

NAS, 2015. Not too old.

I would say my Sega GameGear, but I just went to turn it on, aaaaaaand it's probably well past time to replace the caps. And screen. And motherboard...

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

a core 2 duo full tower pc from mid 2000s

first it had win95, XP, 7, now runs void Linux

[โ€“] flubba86@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Wtf? Core 2 duo was released in 2006, so your PC was made after that. Why was it originally running windows 95?! It was built 3 years after windows XP came out!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

[โ€“] PenPalMoment@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

14 year old Wacom Tablet. It still gets regular use.

I have a Sony M2 Micro card with inside it's USB adapter.

I've used it to install countless Linux distros since 2007 ๐Ÿ˜…

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

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

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

Within reach on my desk, Unisonic LC-384 Dual Power Solar and Battery Backup Pocket Calculator - I've not owned it the whole time, so I looked around and see it was produced on or around 1982. It works just fine.

It has a minimal listing in the Calcuseum (http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/32532/1.htm)
