A sharp stick
I have kitchen utensils that are probably 40 years old
Define use?
I got a 20 year old router around that has been continually running for the last 18 that I keep around because I want to see how long it will last without going down.
I have always had this by my side next to my bed pretty much as far back as I can remember in the early 90s.
My toothbrush.

Fire by itself is not technology.

I think my keyboard is from the early 2000's
Cups or cooking pots are older.

its an AMD K6-2 at 266mhz, 384mb of PC100, geforce MX 420, 2.1gb HDD, turtle beach santa cruz
runs xp, winamp, music over USB
Fire
Marantz receiver from 1979
do these things ever die? I have one from the 80s I still use
If it works, it works
Nah but they become increasingly fragile on the inside. Old plastic gets brittle, electrolytic caps need to be replaced. If it has the fun spinning wheel tuner it's literally held together by a long piece of string.
Jesus. Just what kind of people are using Jow Forums
Fucking boomers just wont die of
older electronics will continue to function for a pretty long ass time, but its because the parts inside will function until they outright fail
i have a heathkit hw101 ham radio transceiver (and power supply and speaker to boot) from 1970 that still works
but inside its all original, and a lot of it is going to need to be replaced soon
it still has original orange can capacitors and paper brick flat resistors and shit in there
fuckin toobs mate
and all those parts will continue to do their thing until one of them outright fails, one day a tube is gonna go out or one of those caps is going to straight up burst into flames
same really goes for any non IC based electronic, mostly stuff from 1985 and earlier, inside its surprisingly simple and the shit inside will last a pretty long time, but its gonna go out without warning eventually
hell, ive got a lithium battery from 1989 in an IBM PS/2 Model 30 that has an estimated lifespan of needing to be replaced, as printed on it, in 2089. Supposedly its the same battery thats used in old ICBM's and shit
This technology has been deprecated in the UK

WINAMP
IT STILL KICKS THE LLAMAS ASS
WHY is there this belief that old ass amps/speakers are better than modern ones? dont you think they improved it in the past few decades? first of all, you dont have ANY digital inputs at all, so everything is analog
Reality.

Sounds like someone doesn't have audiophile ears.

This is where you are wrong cunt. Old hardware lasts longer. They had different quality standards back then, and analog will always piss all over digital. Plus, you can easily connect an old school sound system to a PC through a fucking cable, but sure, enjoy your faggot ass airpods. You probably think they sound really good too.

I found a Sansui AU 217II from around 1980 for £20 and it's running my pc sound and music. This thing is fucking amazing, sounds beautiful, a classic.

XP machine from around 2003.
Regularly use headphones my dad gave me, made ~10+ years before I was born. Oldest is probably a stick or pic.
rock
you are projecting so hard lmao. I dont even like airpods.
Imagine what kind of dumbass youd have to be to believe that old stuff is inherently better. You remind me of those car nuts that think that '69 chevys are the pinnacle of engineering
Still in use nearly daily.
I've seen it on the guts thread
keep up the good work fampai
it's not qaulity standards you dumbass

I with the soviet union lasted just a couple more years so I could see what a soviet gameboy would look like.
Agreed. Love my sansui au-317
I had the exact same at home, but the lcd died. I'm going to get around to resoldering it, hopefully that works. Mine is beige. I also have a GE flip clock that I'm going to fix. In college I use another dream machine with a wood grain finish.
My tape deck is 1987,but I left that at home. In my dorm I regularly use a boombox, CRT TV, T40 thinkpad and a Palm PDA.
Mine's survived being knocked over multiple times over the years it's amazing really. But yeah that's the only picture of the black/grey one I could find, other ones I saw were lighter colored. A downside I guess is the quality of the sound on the radio at max volume.
