The oldest tech I have are laptops from 2006, 2008 and 2009, a pc from ~2010 and an android phone from around 2012. I also have lots of newer stuff.
I’ve already built a home server from the most suitable pc. What other real use cases for old tech would you suggest? What is your experience?
Dedicated single purpose machines. It’s nice to have a device that doesn’t include all of the usual distractions. For example, I have an old iPhone that only has the PBS Kids app and some pre-approved shows downloaded. Everything else has been removed, so I feel a little bit better about hanging it to a child on road trips and the like. Another old laptop has been covered into a Step Mania machine.
