I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.
You should throw it a quinceanera. Put it in a dress and buy it a small car.
I still use my 2011 MacBook Pro! He’s got a SSD and 16GB RAM now, but he still works perfectly—and on original battery, lasts for over three hours! (Originally got him for LAN parties, and always used him plugged in. I believe 40-ish charge cycles.)
I have a few, but the one that immediately came to mind is my HP16c calculator.
I'll see your old calculator and raise you. I got one of these at a thrift store a few years ago.
