I love artificial lights, without them interior lighting would be hard af with candles
my iPod Touch 4 that currently works as a whatever i want information displayer. I've previously made it display CPU/GPU temps and RAM usage percentage as a graph, but now it pretty much is a terminal command history log displayer.
I love an automatic mechanical watch. Still use CDs. At work I occasionally need to use 3.5" floppy disks. Still read paper books.
Newspapers, online news is an echo chamber of personalized content
I listen to radio
Lenovo Thinkpad X200t by your intended meaning. I don't know if my Meade ETX-60 is older... might be... I haven't checked date codes or anything, but I have several microprocessors and discrete logic chips for breadboarding. Probably, the oldest is a tossup between Z80, 6502, 8088, 6800, 68k, or some CD4000 series logic. Maybe a few of my 74xx chips are older. I have a little bench power supply that was made in the 50's somewhere in my closet. I have a Wander bike my family put in storage that is from the 40's or early 50's.
My clock radio alarm is from the late 80's, I guess. It was my Dad's before and it still works fine.
I still use clippers bought in 2015
I got a rock I use for smashin sometimes.
Do you mean oldest as in invented the longest time ago or oldest as in that specific technological artefact that i use is the oldest one i have?
For the first one i guess cooking?
For the second one its definitely my microwave oven, made in 1991.
Headphone jacks and BNC connectors for computing. For hammering things, a rock sometimes.
