just setting up my iPod

(do you use any vintage tech daily, especially wearables? anything counts from analog watches to MP3 players!)

@thomasfuchs I should try my old one and see if it still works.

@dombn very nice

immychan,

@thomasfuchs I got an iPod Mini after Dankpods popularised the iPod but unfortunately the flash mod stopped working and I replaced it with a more modern Hidizs AP80, which I also use as a DAC for my PC (though I tend to use Bluetooth headphones these days, which the AP80 also supports)

@thomasfuchs I'm feeling old realising that the first iPod is now considered "vintage tech" 😭

@thomasfuchs Also this one, with a recording of the Dead Kennedies concert in Paradiso (5 Dec. '82).

@thomasfuchs Left one bought in the early 90's, right one inherited from my father, dating from the 50/60's.

unknown8bit,

@thomasfuchs 30 pins!

socialsolipsist,

@thomasfuchs I use TCP/IP on the reg, does that count?

@thomasfuchs I'm a recreational typewriter user.

craigmaloney,

@thomasfuchs Not sure how "vintage" my Pebble Time is, but it's still kicking it on my wrist.

westmeadow,

@thomasfuchs Analog watch, absolutely. At this point, in my early 30s, I can't imagine ever wearing something that is connected to the internet.

@thomasfuchs Alphasmart Neo2 for writing, IPod Shuffle for transit, Powerbook G4 as a radio plugged into my receiver.

@thomasfuchs I have a Logitech Trackball that's about 25. It's survived cord chewing attacks by 5 different cats.

@thomasfuchs sometimes pink walkman... and sometimes also one barbie-themed cringe handheld...
total cringe but got them when i was about 12 and still having... had also one b&w tetris-based console but left it somewhere and cant find xD

6x6pix,

@thomasfuchs I don't (unless janky wired headphones count), but you've inspired me to see if I can dig up what's needed to charge this baby up to see if it still works...

emuziek,

@thomasfuchs

Yes, three record players get daily use.

@emuziek yay! I have some vintage 70s pioneer stuff that I really enjoy

@thomasfuchs Beautiful gear, but also it goes really nice with that table!

@thomasfuchs I have a oldish Timex that I wear and a zune that I play music on. I keep am/fm radios around the house and tune-in rather than stream. I listen to records..

@thomasfuchs - Still use a lot of what would be classed as vintage tech regularly for 🔊 audio production.

My Alesis SR-16 dates from around 1990. 🙂

@whitingx looks sleek!

whitingx,
@whitingx@mastodon.cloud avatar

@thomasfuchs - It's a classic. 🙂

Has also now got me curious as to which other tech items have remained on sale, unchanged for >30 years. 🤔

@thomasfuchs Same Skagen Wristwatch since almost 15 years. The idea of a smartwatch just makes me exhausted.

@thomasfuchs yes. :D

Vintage seiko from the 70s just before the Swiss stopped chronometer certifying non-swiss watches:
