Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

The motherboard & processor for my CAD workstation is 12 years old, does that count?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 3 points 1 year ago

Totally. 12 years old CPU is really cool. I change my computers every 5 years on average. Sure hope my current workstation will last me for longer.

Daily basis is what makes this so hard for me. I think you just made me realize I need to change my toothbrush soon.

There's literally nothing else I use every day without fail. Closest would probably be my around-the-house belt, but I don't always put it on. My phone is fairly new still...

I have the first hammer I bought 20 years ago.

Not as long as you, but I've had my wireless earbuds for around four years now and they still get daily use. I can use them both to listen to music while I play my drums and to watch videos or listen to music while my husband is watching tv or whatever, they're fantastic.

I've been using the same pocket knife for about 15 years. Part of my EDC.

Bought my ridge wallet in 2015 and use it every day. Replaced parts on that sucker a few times bcz the straps wear out and screws come lose and fall out. Only nearly lost it once.

Second iitems are a safety razor handle and brush I got in 2008.

Some of my kitchen stuff, hand tools and a few ornaments come from my grandparents place. Ive been handling/seeing them my whole life. Add x years to that before me.
