The Tamiya paint pen I just used. Bought it when I was 15, for a BMW motorbike model I was building. Still works! I now use it to label plugs, etc (I just turned 52...!)
I have a DJ that, tbf, I don't wear very often - but it is still in good condition and looks way better than most newish ones. I bought it from a vintage shop in the 80s, and it dates back to the 40s. Funny to think that more time has elapsed since I bought it than from its origin to that date.
Classical music. Music fads come and go with each generation but classical stays popular.
Just cos it randomly came on the radio, but from a genre that offers very little in the way of memorable music (not least because of the mind altering chemicals consumed with it), this is just an almighty <90s> choooooone </90s>
Digital memory. I remember having to delete photos as my HD was getting full. Now restored.
That would be 'storage' (on a Hard Drive) not memory. Memory (Random Access Memory) is volatile and is wiped when the power is removed. The way storage works and what it's made of has changed somewhat over the years

I see pedantry is alive and well too. 😉
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.

The word 'pedantry' has been around for over 400 years.
Most of the stuff in my house would be appropriate for this thread apart from the kitchen appliances and digital cameras. I rarely buy anything new and never replace things unless they break. Here is my 1913 Gibson A4 mandolin and an item that was ancient when the mandolin was new. Both get regular use in the way the makers intended (at least if Gibson intended their mandolins to be played badly....). The only thing in the shot that isn't really old is the only thing that was pretending to be old when it was new - the little drawer unit. The other stuff was bang up to date when it came out.

Err and the M in ROM stands for?
Read Only Memory or even Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is not where one’s pictures are stored on a Hard Drive, these are used for other purposes

I'm sorry you see it as 'pedantry' but the terminology used was just plain wrong. You wouldn't say "I called into Tesco's today and filled my sump up with petrol" would you? Well I hope not!
My set of J B Addis & Sons carving chisels. Old when my grandfather picked them up as an apprentice joiner in Chatham Dockyard.
It raises an interesting question as to what's the oldest thing that one regularly uses, in either domestic or work setting. I suspect mine would be the trumpet at the top of the thread.
Mine is my 1957 Selmar M6 Alto Sax. Knives are generically old, but not the one in your hand, bread after knives, discovered/ invented Ancient Egypt

Congratulations, you have passed my S2 unit on computer architecture

You knew what I meant though, didn't you? All that matters. See the smiley? Means I'm joking/not fussed.

Is anyone else still using a Garmin Edge 800? I'd definitely throw mine into the ring. When I try and think what other tech devices I'd have been using around that time, most of them have been comprehensively outstripped yet my little edge 800 carries on just working even though it's been dropped in streams, crashed into rocks on the MTB, ridden through years of winters etc.
Garmin made a gem with that one...

I'm still using an Edge 200 which I bought in 2012
I should add that I've just connected it to a device that I can't even imagine was on Garmin's horizons when they designed it but yet it connected first time and works fine...
