Welcome to Computer History.

We are nolstagia driven with our choice of posts and discussion of the impact of technology.

A lot of what ends up posted here has a bias towards the 1970s' up until now simply because "we" experienced a lot of this "new" technology directly as it was released.

Our community goal is to become more than just a collection of links-- we want to be a community of shared experience.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.capebreton.social, are as follows:

As a follow-up to yesterday's discussion post, what's the oldest piece of tech actively in use at your home?

I'm sure there's a broad range of intepretation of "tech" but keep it related to electronics or computing.

Myself, it's probably the xbox original (not counting my old ass alarm clock/radio). I still regularly use that for emulation purposes just because it still works.

You got me on "actively in use", but I did turn my Plus/4 on yesterday. In regular use it's probably the lawnmower from ~2007 (so not that old in the scheme of things)
