My daily phone is a Nokia 3610i and I have a 4th gen iPod nano I use at the gym or while taking walks.

fuck a bunch of 90's "classics" i see common 70's cars and pickups with the plates that haven't even been restored.
That's true, but they alter the flavor and when I stand near them while they're running, it feels like somebody is trying jam an ice pick in my heart.

I've got a PS1 with all the old games I owned (esp. Crash/Spyro), something about that classic PS1 startup sound and the old-school music is a nostalgia trip whenever I fire it up. Doesn't work as well with my new TV but I can't fit an old CRT in its place.
My parents have the old Genesis down in the basement along with all the games in their cases, tons of classic stuff like Sonic 1-3, Earthworm Jim, Light Crusader, Vectorman, Warlock, even that damn Aladdin game. Need to stop over and get that some time and see if I can hook it up.

I love cell and cordless phones, but nothing beats the satisfaction of slamming down the receiver of an old rotary dial phone when you're pissed off at your significant other.

I still prefer flip phones to smartphones. They're smaller, and they can last for a lot longer on a full charge.

I prefer desktops to phones on internet use.
Would also rather use a camcorder than a phone when making a video.

I'm not the only one! At work I found a new in the box first gen powerbook g4, and have spent the last few weeks loading any game I can onto it just to see what it can do.
I was a PC guy growing up, never owned a MAC, and had 0 interest in paying to be a part of that ecosystem. But when it comes to powerPC, I am tempted by ebay auctions. So very tempted. Maybe its the draw of a CPU arch that was never used in the PC space yet offers performance similar to what intel was doing at the time, or the desire to see all the mac ports of PC games from the era.
If I were to ever find a late 05 powermac with a FX 4500 GPU for a reasonable price, I'd likely have it in my office by the end of the week. But talk about hard to find....

I gave the CB up more than a decade ago. And even then it wasn't much use. Just a bunch of dumbshits who won't shut up and never have anything informative to say.
You still run into some of the old timers who insist on using them but you can smoke them out after a quick conversation that all their shit is broken and unused and it's just them waxing nostalgic about their glory days when they were radioing lot lizards and scoring meth.

I was daily driving a ThinkPad X230t until recently. Thing was a tank. Only reason I gave it up is because it was heavy as fuck.

If you think that's heavy, you'd love my Compaq "Portable!"
The PSP is the best handheld console ever released. Got mine at a swap meet for $20. If you put a 128GB microSD in a microSD-to-MemoryStick adapter in a hacked PSP, you can play PSP, PS1, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, SNES, MAME, and homebrew games (including a Super Mario 64 port) for free!

Even if you disregard the emulation capabilities it's still the most underrated console ever in my eyes. A fantastic library all around that mostly gets ignored. It's probably the console that felt most "next-generation" when I first got it. I remember legit being in awe when I first fired up THUG 2 Remix. Couldn't believe I was playing a handheld game that looked that good.

I like older consoles a lot.
I think it's fun to install homebrew on them and make them do things that they normally can't do. Most of my older hardware is in boxes so I don't have much to say about them. My latest project was a PS Vita. When I bought my Vita, the PSP was reaching a similar price point, so I ended up just getting it instead. I wouldn't say it's "old" since it has been released this decade, but I've done some cool things to it. The big one was giving it the ability to read SD chips, so I have a 512GB stick sitting in my Vita loaded up with basically anything. Games, movies, and music, mostly. The cheap storage is the main reason why people jailbreak their Vita so it's low on the "cool" factor. However, what is big on the cool factor was a smaller project I came across. It basically tricks the Nvidia drivers on your PC into recognising your Sony Vita as a Nvidia Shield. So even though the Vita had a lot of games from PC ported to it and vis versa, you can play games that might work well on a Vita on your Vita without flexing your computer science muscles and porting it over.
The PS Vita has the most ironic name, being killed by Sony and not given a chance to succeed. Yet, it has been given a new (and beautiful) life within the homebrew community, who has embraced it and given it the passion it needed from it's parent company.
Outside of consoles, I miss those big ass TVs and monitors that could crush a small child. Flat screens just ain't it. So easy to knock over. They weigh nothing. You get convenience, but your cat can knock them over. There is also some nostalgia about pressing your face against the screen and feeling your hair stick to it. Maybe that's where all my brains went.

For what it's worth, the PSP was a fucking incredible budget hand console to jailbreak. $20 and you can do anything on it? Who wouldn't get in on that? But now PSPs are hard to find for under $50 and they look like they've been chewed up by Cujo and spent 5 years under a couch. The Vita does everything the PSP does now and more. Daedalus X64 is made to emulate the N64. The compatibility list is actually fairly impressive: https://daedalusx64.rinnegatamante.it/

Honestly it still compares favorably to the 3DS in terms of graphical fidelity, imo. Let us never forget Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing!

My only regret is not grabbing one of the 2200MaH batteries when they were $15 on ebay. Find one today and you'll be paying three times what the best model, the PSP 2001, goes for.

(sigh) I used to have a Sony Trinitron 28" amazing flatscreen looking very similar to your unit that I had a multi-switcher hooked up to on the composite and S-video/audio feeds to it, and ran: An older PC as media centre for movies and music (and emulation) as well as a Dreamcast, a Saturn, a PS2 and a Wii changable at the click of a button. My girls upstairs got my SNES and Genesis respectively on smaller CRTs.
Then the bitch divorced me, house was sold and the old CRT TVs were just too damn heavy/bulky to move to my new place, and I had to leave them behind, along with my Commodore 1084s monitor that my Amiga 500 was hooked up to.
Almost all of that hardware still remains boxed up to this day. Thick albums full of PS2, Saturn and Wii original games and nearly every DC game ever made (pirated) and the shoebox of Amiga floppies kept staring at me in disappointment until I had to stick them in deep storage.I still enjoy handheld gaming on my GameGear (with a pirate cart and a microSD card full of GG and SMS games, it's too damn expensive to collect old GG carts) and my DS (same deal.) Hell, I even have a MicroGBA, and it's the absolute TITS if you have GBA carts or a pirate cart around for it. SO tiny yet with a super bright screen compared to every other GBA model + a long lasting rechargable battery, it's a gem of old schoolage.
My phone is used for talking and music, nothing else. Fuck those vapid, money-sucking 'games' on Android/iOS stores. If I want to play goddamn Candy Crush or Angry Birds I can do it far better on a PC. That Raid: Shadow Legends shit can DIAF.
I really miss that teevee. But there is just no room here to re-create the geek glory of years past even if I could find another multi-switcher and good CRT. (stress sigh)
