I still use clippers bought in 2015
PS Vita for Gundam Breaker 3. The end of this god damned month can’t come soon enough, I’m so fuckin’ excited for Breaker 4.
RSS is the first app I would install on new devices if they didn't automatically migrate all my apps and data for me. That there are people who know about RSS and don't use it surprises me, somewhat.
Do you pay for yours, or what? I tried to get into RSS, but I wasn't in the mood to pay for it.
I like Feeder as a free Android option
I've been a paying customer of Reeder app and NetNewsWire before that. I believe NNW might be free now. These are on Apple platforms.

I’m pretty sure I got a lever around here somewhere
I've got some wheels on my car still. I think my furnace uses fire when it turns on.
I ude Emacs as my peferred text editor.
I use my lungs which were invented quite a while before I was born
IPv4? Email? Gas fireplace?
I guess if you want a real answer it's probably the terminal? I prefer terminal over GUI generally speaking.
Terminal for ever!!!!
I eat bread, I drink beer too. Those technologies are both around 40k years old iirc. In terms of computing, probably a calendar, time, or a GBA depending on your definition of computing
Inclined plane. Arguably older than fire. Used as a part of a pointy stick.
How’d you get up there?
By walking forward.
?!??
Behold: hills
On special occasions I grind coffee beans with a small wooden frame coffee grinder my grandparents got as wedding present sometime in the 1930's. Made and gifted for the couple by the grooms brother.

I still have a monitor on my main setup that uses DVI because I'm too cheap to upgrade.

I use a typewriter occasionally at work.
By choice, or?
I don't have any issues with it. We keep a physical card file of our records and we type it for readability.
Im intrigued, what do you do for a job?

I still use a sony walkman to listen to music on cassette tape. Unlike my phone, it has a headphone jack. It's also nice being able to physically own music in such a compact form factor. It helps that the artists I listen to are starting to put their albums on tape as well.
Back when you could actually record shit easily. Wanna record something now? Fuck you, impossible.
I've made playlists on Spotify and then ripped them to tape before, I made my girlfriend a mixtape a few months ago actually.
RSS feeds are so nice. I'm still frustrated that Facebook moved away from an in-order timeline. (Or would be if I used it for anything other than family chats)
An ordered list of things you haven't seen yet on instead of a mostly random list from everywhere. Amazing.
Headphone jacks and BNC connectors for computing. For hammering things, a rock sometimes.
