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?
I’ve got a rice cooker that old enough to rent a car. My MIL bought me a newer one a few years back and it’s still in the box. I just like my old reliable one better.
Best way to do it. Not replacing something that isn’t broke and a spare just in case.
