Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.
What’s your record?
A computer. Not necessarily the one I’m using, though this one is 5 years old. But I’ve been using a computer almost every day since I can remember, and I’m 35 today.
Happy Birthday!!
ETA: …you know, whenever it may be
Wait…no…I’m just saying that’s my age today. I was also 35 yesterday and will 35 tomorrow lol
But thank you, nonetheless.
I think I made it right with an edit.
Happy birthday in advance!
Happy birthday!
Same at 33. I was amongst the lucky few at school with an internet connection in the mid 90s. There isn’t a very long period of my life I didn’t have access to console and a PC.
My computer’s age has a Ship of Theseus issue going on. The case is the oldest part at about 12 years old, the rest of the parts have been slowly replaced over time. Sometimes it needed a new GPU, other times it needed a new motherboard and RAM. The Power supply once went out and got replaced. The CPU is an i9 from just a couple years back. But, it’s still the same PC, right?
