What old technology do you still use regularly?

USB-A

I understand that Apple likes to prematurely depreciate technology. They did well to kill the floppy disk in 2000. I will never forgive them for doing away with usb-a. I used it today (made a Debian usb drive), yesterday (printer doesn’t really work over the network reliably). And every day before (keyboards and mice don’t come in usb-c).

If Logitech B100 is considered an "old technology", then yes, I've been using this type of mouse for years.

Software wise, does vim and mutt count?

A manual toothbrush. For some reason I enjoy it better than an electric. Same for shaving. I use a safety razor shaver and a shaving brush.

I like my morning ritual to be more of a mindful zen style activity.

The wheel. Fire.

The ipod still works better

roads

Levers and the inclined plane .. especially those wound in a spiral about a core.

Piano, film cameras, FM radio, mercury thermostat, propane powered backup electric generator, coffee. CB radio, but nobody's on the other end. Moleskine or similar notebook. Three-ring when I get really serious. Magnets on the fridge to plan my meals and remind me to take medicine.

Emacs

Paper, coins and FM radio.
