Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

my iPod Touch 4 that currently works as a whatever i want information displayer. I've previously made it display CPU/GPU temps and RAM usage percentage as a graph, but now it pretty much is a terminal command history log displayer.

Usenet and IRC maybe.

I own a balance scale, I was getting sick of dying batteries in modern ones

Clothing probaby. Admittedly, it's a bit more advanced than simple animal furs. I also have a knife, but again, probably a touch better than a sharpened piece of flint...

Newspapers, online news is an echo chamber of personalized content

I listen to radio

Lenovo Thinkpad X200t by your intended meaning. I don't know if my Meade ETX-60 is older... might be... I haven't checked date codes or anything, but I have several microprocessors and discrete logic chips for breadboarding. Probably, the oldest is a tossup between Z80, 6502, 8088, 6800, 68k, or some CD4000 series logic. Maybe a few of my 74xx chips are older. I have a little bench power supply that was made in the 50's somewhere in my closet. I have a Wander bike my family put in storage that is from the 40's or early 50's.

My clock radio alarm is from the late 80's, I guess. It was my Dad's before and it still works fine.

I love an automatic mechanical watch. Still use CDs. At work I occasionally need to use 3.5" floppy disks. Still read paper books.

Various styles of loincloth and several different clubs

Paper datewheel

awk
grep
sed
and lots of other individual programs written long before I was born

The domain name system
The web
email
RSS

wired everything

It would actually be easier to list the things I use that wouldn't be considered old, as those are the exceptions.
