Apart from the obvious stuff like wheels and fire:
I recently got my hands on an analogue camera (Canon EOS 300), which I'm now using to take some pictures. The first batch of pictures got back last week and confirmed to me that the device is still in working condition.
Besides that I also have an old Philips tape player that used to use until one of the gears snapped in half. I ordered a replacement gear but getting to the gear and replacing it has proven more challenging than hoped so I'm not using it currently.
And I still collect CDs, even though I also use Spotify.
I'm pretty similar. I don't have an analog camera myself, but I'm using one. I Like that the cost of a picture (both in money and in Work that i have to do for getting and developing Film ) forces me to BE more considerate about what to Photograph.
I also have an old Tapedeck (Yamaha K350) where I'm still planning to replace the ribbon as well. I started making Mixtapes a few years Back.
And I buy CDs. It's the best time to buy them IMHO. People sell them very cheap on eBay.
Edit: And I have an old iPod 6th gen with Rockbox that I use almost every day. -> 3.5mm jack is also apparently an old technology that I find Superior.
I've unfortunately bought a phone (Pixel 8) now without a headphone jack. Already had multiple moments where I had to confront the consequences of this action. Why don't modern phones have them anymore :(
me too! I shattered the screen of my pixel 4a and without much thinking I bought a used Pixel 6a off ebay. (I needed a phone quick that worked and the shattered screen was somehow disrupting the touch -accuracy. Now I have a phone without a headphone jack and its seriously an issue. Bluetooth is still not usable. There's so many situations where it suddenly doesn't work. Then I have to restart my headphones or fiddle around with bluetooth. It's seriously annoying. A fucking cable is the superior technology - still!
