I still have a monitor on my main setup that uses DVI because I'm too cheap to upgrade.
I own a balance scale, I was getting sick of dying batteries in modern ones
I love an automatic mechanical watch. Still use CDs. At work I occasionally need to use 3.5" floppy disks. Still read paper books.
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.
Newspapers, online news is an echo chamber of personalized content
I still use clippers bought in 2015
I listen to radio
My clock radio alarm is from the late 80's, I guess. It was my Dad's before and it still works fine.
I got a rock I use for smashin sometimes.
A printer that is older than me, Samsung SCX-4216F. It supports fax, maybe I should set it up some time. A satellite receiver that supports only SD streams. Olympics are streamed from 2 channels and one of them does not have SD variant so we have to stream games on that channel from Internet.
I bought a manual scale, because all the electric ones turn off automatically before i get a chance look how much it actually weighs and there is no easy way to subtract the weight of the plate. Also no super specific small batteries bs. Edit: it can do Tara but if it shuts itself off while i was measuring flour, now i have flour on a plate. How do i know how much the flour weighs minus the plate? That's my problem.
You just need better digital scales. As much as I love analog stuff digital scales have just become so damn good analog can't compete for anything needing any kind of precision.
I own three gram scales for food prep...
All three have tare and use AAA batteries.
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.
