I have a TI 99/4A PC that still works! It has a super weird version of BASIC and I don't have any tapes for it, but it's a cool display piece. I was able to make an educated guess that it was manufactured in 1982 based on the design
Probably one of my CRTs from the early 80s, unless we're counting basic stuff like my house wiring or gate speaker.
I have a Milling Machine with a 1902 patent date on it. It was converted to an electric motor, but the line shaft pulley is still on it.
Dynaco ST-70 stereo tube amp, probably from the 60s (no date on them that I can tell).
Very proud of it, got it for free at a garage sale. Replaced selenium rectifier with silicon diodes, a few new caps, and new tubes. Sounds great.
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...
Probably an nes or vcr. I have an Atari too but it's not hooked up so idk if it still works. I have some old film projectors too
1901 Edison victrola. Listen to Edison's band.
My dad bought an amplifier in the 70s, I still use it for my TV audio system today. Super solid stuff.

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.

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
An electric turkey-carving knife, made in 1962. GE built it to last.
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.
My N64. I probably have a few pieces of tech older than me, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
I have a PC from 2004 as well.
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.

a core 2 duo full tower pc from mid 2000s
first it had win95, XP, 7, now runs void Linux
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!

My fat PS3. Still a good Blu Ray and DVD player.
Probably the 20-year-old microwave.
I bet it works better than the new ones. I had a 40 year old microwave at my last rental flat and it was like the big muscly shiba inu from the meme. New microwaves are the crying little shiba inu.
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.
