I love my double edge razor.s.

A car without an internet connection.

I recently bought a Pioneer PD-F905 101 CD player. It’s 30 years old and I absolute love it. It needed a lot of cleaning (mostly nicotine and tar), but after that it worked like a charm again

Doorknobs.

Not sure if “Outdated”, but I still uses microSD card slot on my Samsung A-Series phone. I might’ve gone for the S-Series if they had the sd card slot, so yea good job, Samsung, don’t dare touching the sdcard slot on the A-Series, or I might just go for like a motorola, or HMD/Nokia or something.

I also have some ham radios and a shortwave radio in case of like government censorship or natural disaster or something (especially considering recent USA politics). I don’t use them much, I just randomly scan the frequencies to see if theres anything.

I heard like emergency communications during the Philly plane crash recently, although, I couldn’t decipher what they were saying, I just heard some “pieces” and “bodies” and “crater” but its all out of context and I didn’t understand a thing. I also heard some people taking about mundane life things on GMRS, or saying they were getting ready to watch the Eagles game. Still have yet to find anything interesting. But I kinda just have radios because I like the idea of having stuff that still have a practical purpose if the internet and cell networks shut down. Like I’m not even “old”, I was born after 2000, but still want to radios just to have them.

My thinkpad x220. One of the best laptops ever made

My Sony PRS-T1 ebook reader. Still working fine and without rooting (I will updated its software before learning that rooting it required a prior version).

My 2 HP printers from the early 2000s

Still have the first computer I bought with my own money, and it still works. It’s an Amiga 500 from 1991. I fire it up and play ancient games with it once in a while, on the ancient 1084s CRT monitor.

Also had one of the super rare A3000T’s but unfortunately the battery corroded the motherboard while I had it stored away. I didn’t even learn about that problem until researching what had gone wrong with my beautiful Amiga tower. C’est la vie. At least I was able to get an image of the 120MB SCSI hard drive, which I can boot up in an emulator and relive the glory days of 1993.

Define “outdated”.

My main workstation desktop that I use for most of my heavy lifting was bought in 2016. In the years since, however, it’s been maxed out on the RAM that the motherboard can support, the ssds, the video cards, etc… So while it’s now hit that bottleneck of “can’t upgrade anymore because it’s at the limit of what the motherboard itself can handle”, I don’t consider it outdated because it can still comfortably do what I want it to do.

A close second would by my Lumix G7 mirrorless camera. Old, yes. But still works perfectly fine. Records in 4K and still produces a better result than smartphone cameras because it uses actual proper lenses rather than digital software trickery. With mirrorless and DSLRs, the lenses are far more important than the frame (to a certain extent), so I don’t see a need to upgrade that anytime soon.

Oil lamps. They have the same appeal that’s behind the resurgent popularity of vinyl records. They’re hefty, kinesthetic items that feel good in the hand. There’s a little ritual that goes into using them. There’s the sensory appeal. I bought a Thomas & Williams miner’s lamp that was said to have been a prize that the original owner won in a regatta in the 1920’s. It’s all shiny brass, with a heavy, solid feel, and the parts fit together with such a satisfying precision. There’s feeling the heat of the flame, and the slight scent of kerosene that it emits.

(Although, I’m not sure that they’re outdated, since they’re still manufactured and sold as yacht lamps, and you can still get parts. Last month, I ordered a brand new glass chimney for it.)

My modded 3ds + modded Wii U system I have a very large library of games that I can run on both systems + I got a lot of controllers for local-couch sessions.
