Nokia N95. It is practically a dumb phone now and the battery lasts for 30mins but it holds lots of sentimental value.

Microwave from the 90's sometime. Still in daily use and shows no signs of stopping.

haven't checked it in 4 or 5 years but I think my Mac Plus still works.

Not tech exactly, but does a 22yr old Vicks inhaler count? It's somehow stuck around through every move, and I can still use it when I have a stuffy nose. It's kinda nuts...

My clock radio.

Samsung S4 mini. Can't believe it is the 3310 of the smartphone world, undestroyable. It's just for streaming kids shows but I take care to bring new ROMs on it, actually android 13.

A singer 29k53 treadle sewing machine from the 1930s. Nearly identical to this one:

It was originally made for sewing leather shoes and boots -- hence the boot shaped tray. I use it for heavy duty sewing and leather working.

I considered adding a motor, but the hand wheel and treadle give a massive amount of control. On repairs I can usually put each stitch through the existing holes in the material without the machine getting away from me.

A 1960s electric meat slicer. Use it every Thanskgiving. That thing is built like a tank and a probable fire hazard.

More recent would be a 720p Samsung TV hooked up to an AppleTV HD we still use in our Master bedroom, mostly for classic movies on TCM. We’ve had it for 15 years and she’s still kicking.
