A printer that is older than me, Samsung SCX-4216F. It supports fax, maybe I should set it up some time. A satellite receiver that supports only SD streams. Olympics are streamed from 2 channels and one of them does not have SD variant so we have to stream games on that channel from Internet.

Do you mean oldest as in invented the longest time ago or oldest as in that specific technological artefact that i use is the oldest one i have?
For the first one i guess cooking?
For the second one its definitely my microwave oven, made in 1991.
Headphone jacks and BNC connectors for computing. For hammering things, a rock sometimes.
Mid nineties guitar.
Why would someone down vote you. I bumped you back up
Blanket. I'm believe that technology was invented before clothes or even fire.
There's a few appliances that we refuse to let go. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. My wife loves our early 1970's General Electric range. It's got push button controls that are built into the range hood. That was actually a brilliant idea since it keeps the controls from getting all greasy and my little kids can't reach them.
Our old vacuum, a 1953 Kirby (which I've had for 25 years) has been semi-retired. Our house has a 1970's Kenmore central vac. Just put a new motor in it last year so it should be good to go for a while, hopefully.
Love an analog clock
Beer!
If we're talking about technology that is no longer widely used, it's probably my old HP48SX from the early 90s. Still use it sometimes as a desk calculator, though I have an HP48GX emulator app on my phone as well. Gotta have my RPN.
I keep an iPod in my purse, but I also keep a gameboy pocket in there for a hundredth Pokemon Red playthrough whenever I have some downtime.
