Clothing probaby. Admittedly, it's a bit more advanced than simple animal furs. I also have a knife, but again, probably a touch better than a sharpened piece of flint...
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I still have a monitor on my main setup that uses DVI because I'm too cheap to upgrade.
My clock radio alarm is from the late 80's, I guess. It was my Dad's before and it still works fine.
I listen to radio
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.
I still use clippers bought in 2015
Newspapers, online news is an echo chamber of personalized content
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.
There's a few appliances that we refuse to let go. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. My wife loves our early 1970's General Electric range. It's got push button controls that are built into the range hood. That was actually a brilliant idea since it keeps the controls from getting all greasy and my little kids can't reach them.
Our old vacuum, a 1953 Kirby (which I've had for 25 years) has been semi-retired. Our house has a 1970's Kenmore central vac. Just put a new motor in it last year so it should be good to go for a while, hopefully.
