Anyone else still holding on to that /ONETHING/ that just won't die or you refuse to let die?

A friend of mine had an old iPod Classic that got bricked a few years back. I spent around 5 minutes and managed to restore it to full working order. I've always known that these things were built to last. I'm thinking of buying one myself from the used market.

>>
>>57865035
Chances are the left click doubleclicking is fixable. If I remember correctly, they use the same switches as Razer mice, and it's just a case of popping the switch housing off, taking out the metal spring, flattening it a little with your thumb (not too much), and putting it back together. What's happening is the metal spring is bent out of shape so it's 'bouncing' a little after each click, and sometimes shorting the contacts when it's not supposed to.

http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/29955/how-do-i-fix-an-omron-d2fc-f-7n-microswitch-from-unwanted-clicks

This worked for my DeathAdder after I started getting random doubleclicks after 6 months. It's been fine for almost 3 years since.

Thanks for the advice, I actually already did that before and it worked for a few months, when I did it I broke one of the latches though which worries me. I ordered 20 replacements for $1 total so I figure I'm going to de-lid it again and just replace both switches with new ones. The leaf spring and cover itself. Outside of bending I hear they can get dirty and scratched to the point they no longer contact correctly, I'm not sure if that's the case or not but I figure a replacement can't hurt at this point.
>>
>>57865067
You must be kidding. The Clip sounds like literal garbage compared to the Classic. I bought one because of /g/ shills as well and I was disappointed at first because of the sound quality and then the battery life. It barely lasted me more than 10-12 hours. I only really stopped using it because I lost it in a mall's fitting room.

As if the right-angle adapter isn't on the same 3/4-year-long obsolescence plan as the rest of the tech industry.

It's a right pain in the ass, but I like this mouse too much to not put up with it. It must have taken me like 20 minutes to get the metal leaf on correctly with tweezers. The worst part was just getting the lid off without breaking the hinge (which I did break, only one side though), it's so close to the board on this mouse that getting something under it was impossible, I had to go from the side.

a right angle adapter costs $3 and is easy to replace and will be buyable forever
a 3.5mm jack in a clip is a pain to fix as I don't have any precision soldering shit
a 3.5mm jack in thinner devices generally means buying a spare part, which may or may not be available

I've been using shure IEMs for the past year and a half though, and the connector on those isn't bulky enough to cause any real strain, so it's not something I've needed to worry about in a while.

My netbook from 2009. This thing just won't die. I only paid like $300 for it so I haven't been very careful about how I handle it but it still works perfectly. I only added a 1GB stick of RAM when I got it and recently replaced its HDD (that still was perfectly fine) with an SSD.
After 7 years of almost daily service and many 200+ days of uptime from when I was using it as a server it's my best tech purchase to this date.

>>57865301
'm pretty sure that if I didn't sell off all the netbooks I used to own that they would still be working to this day. It's a crazy thing that we traded off all these hardware devices with "lots of moving parts" for supposedly better stuff just because they have less things that might break. But surprisingly the old setup was way better, simply because if one thing breaks you only needed to replace that one thing. Whereas today if you break the touchscreen or the the glass on your phone, or for instance if your battery dies and it's non-removable, you basically have to throw your shit away unless you can repair it or have it repaired out of the abysmal warranty.

I miss the old technolo/g/y.

Oh wait, are you complaining that the cable of your headphones, not an adapter, broke? Why did you compare it to me talking about chinkshit $1 adapters to protect the longevity of my original headphone cables and devices?

I mean, I'd expect a chinkshit adapter to break in fairly short order, but it's extremely cheap compared to the time and equipment I'd need to repair the device, or the original cable.

Just send the thing back under warranty, or quit whining, buy some parts, and solder a new one on.

Might as well call this the iPod thread.

I don't know if this counts, but my processor. I have a Core 2 Quad Q9400 at 2.66Ghz. I love Socket 775 and especially Core 2 Quad processors. I see no point in upgrading. Does everything I need and plenty more. Granted this love won't last forever. I'll probably be forced to upgrade soon enough. DDR4 is cheaper than I thought and I'd only upgrade for 4K. Just because I love the resolution. My computer now can't handle 4K. At all.

Shame, but I'll milk it as long as possible.

I only started building my own computers around this time, and I never was able to afford more than the best Pentiums for overclocking. I would have loved to have one of those chips of yours. I remember the other long-laster was the Q6600. Intel has fully jewed up the entire Core i line now, it's a shame. I copped a G3258 back when it was released and I am looking to hold onto it, but unfortunately it looks like a lot of newer games will actually be bottlenecked by it. Oh well. Time to save up I guess.

>>57864775
>I've always known that these things were built to last.
yeah those were the days before Apple literally starting gimping itself

I don't think I have the pic, but they used to have thick ends on their cables before the connector to prevent fraying. They got rid of them. They fray like crazy now. (They also get yellow, not sure if that's another instance of them cheaping out) I haven't even had anything Apple in ages. I had a pretty rough experience with the 4th gen iPod Touch, though. The actual iPod was pretty sweet. Worst that happened was a screen break from a drop, but the Genius bar replaced it for free and then I was more careful in the future. As for my earbuds and charging cable, though, they both got pretty beat up with what I'd consider normal or light usage. I had to replace the earbuds because the casing and everything started to break on one of them. The charging cable got yellow and hard exposed wire but I never bothered to replace it since it worked fine, just looked scary.

I wonder what it would take to make Apple try hard again.

>>
>>57866296
The MacBook Air is still a marvel of engineering. The late 2015 models were the best ones yet. I bought an 11-inch model a few months ago when I left the Windows ecosystem. I also left Android for iOS. The situation with Apple is not so great anymore but it's far far worse with Microsoft and lately, Google.

>>57866354

By the way, I myself am eyeing a used ThinkPad to use Windows on. I had been a regular in /tpg/ threads a couple years back, and have bought and sold a couple T60s and a couple X200s until I started working full time and got handed Office laptops (which I started to loathe, and the reason why I use a MacBook Air now).

Still I am thinking I can manage on my own with Windows 7 plus a ThinkPad, so I'll go with that again.

The phone never "shattered" because the phone was made of interchangeable chassis and components.
Any ground impact would just launch the plastic casing and buttons off, in which It was only a case of re-assembling all the parts together again, which was the coolest part.

I had at least half a dozen of those cases and Jelly buttons which I would swap out whenever I wanted - which likely aided its longlivity - and as a teenager, it felt like you were building this arsenal over time, operator as fuck.

It has been fantastic so far and I can't really go back to a plastic laptop after this. The metal is nice to the touch especially when you move from a cool air conditioned place to a warmer one. It's spotless still even though Ive been using it without a case, and it's very lightweight as you can imagine

The performance is just about on par with what I expected. I mean before this I've only been really using netbooks and old ThinkPads, if not lower end to mid-range notebooks and some Pentium-based desktops that I built myself. This one flies with mac OS and I only ever really run into freeze ups if I have too many Chrome tabs open.

I've come to really enjoy using mac OS mainly because a lot of my work is just online and can be done through a browser. Also, many of the native apps I use on Windows are available on Mac and are often better performing. The problem is with gaming, of course. Not all of my Steam games are available for Mac. I haven't even really tried the lot of them but at least many of the Source and most popular titles work perfectly.

IT's actually fairly affordable now compared with what it was before. I got mine for about 8x what I paid for my first used ThinkPad, but it looks like it will be worth it barring any major fuck ups. I'll keep this one for a few years more

BUT, and this is very important. Its output stage includes a dedicated Wolfson chip for each channel, so the song it sings it so pure and clear and spacious that you basically want to kill yourself. So it sits on a little wooden block and drives my music setup like it has for the past 5 years, and when I want to play a particular song I can't, because it has no search function and the menus are too sluggish and glitchy to use. But it does teach me patience.

Not that long, but my ath-m50x headphones have lasted me two years so far with no issues whatsoever, unlike the cheap chinese ones I had before. My Microsoft wireless mouse + keyboard combo is four years old, also with no issues. That tiny blue LED in the mouse has been on for four years.

My brother has a white xbox 360 (known for having a short lifespan) that has gone almost 6 years without any error of operation, the usual lifespan on that model was maybe 2 years.

I used to "fix" those things for people by swapping out the heat clamps, the stock ones would warp the motherboard over time with heavy use.

Now this is anecdotal but everyone that was ever given to me for repair was CAKED with hard ass dust and people always said they forget and leave it on while they do something else then come back later to find their game still on.

I'm not saying those things are well designed but I am willing to be the majority of Xbox owners don't know how to take care of their electronics. My launch model lasted me all the way up until the slim came out, at which point I stopped using it but it would still work now if I got it. I didn't leave it running on a carpet and didn't accidentally leave it on and in game overnight.

To be fair, a lot of devices can be repaired by third party services, and it doesn't even cost that much either. One of my relatives had the battery replaced in his sony xperia Z1 for $40 and that cost included the battery (the Z1 has a non-removable battery). Same thing with screen replacement.

Been using an iPod Classic daily since 2010. I've carried it in all weather, dropped it onto concrete or pavement a couple times, had it in a soaked backpack for hours and had a motorcycle crash while carrying it in the backpack, and all that's wrong with it are some almost imperceptible scratches on the display, and wear on the back which doesn't bother me. I put Rockbox on it a year or two ago and that seems to be working, except for the fact that sometimes it resets to the default skin.

The cable on my headphones is removable. I bought a spare around 3 years ago when the insulation on the original started to come off. I am still waiting for it to break.
The insulation on my laptop charger started to come off 6 years ago shortly after I bought it. I still haven't needed to replace it.

How did you connect it? I always see these keyboards even if they're like $200 and I might spring for them but the problem is I have no idea how I would connect them. For instance if I had an iMac like you do.
>>
>>57876439
You need a PS/2 -> USB converter. They're all shit. I have to reset mine by physically cutting power to the USB port every now and then. Sometimes it'll fuck up mid typing and ruin everything I typed.
These keyboards aren't worth $200. They only have 2KRO for instance. Also on a Mac they're missing a Super key, so you're going to have issues there too.
I'd buy a better keyboard, but this has sentimental value, not to mention it's basically a collector's item at this point.
>>
>>57876458
Yeah I know, I just want to get it for the /g/ cred. Since making the switch to Apple everything a few months ago, I've really been considering getting an Apple keyboard. I'll go see more of it once I have money saved up, then decide.

The Apple mechanical keyboards are beige and ugly. They are usually all yellowed too. There's a way to whiten them back up to beige, but I don't remember how. They also use a more esoteric connection.
There's no point trying to impress /g/. This board is full of idiots who have no clue what they're talking about in most cases. Even when people do know what they're talking about, they act as if they're an authority that demands respect. It's incredibly cringe, even by 4chan standards. You don't want to be one of those people.

By the way, I was talking about the wireless Apple keyboards that normally come with iMacs. Do they have an official name? It escapes me.

Old Razers were good shit. I bought a Pro Solutions (basically a white Diamondback) in '05 and it still worked fine when I replaced it in 2010 or so, it had just become completely disgusting with yellowed plastic and the rubber coating had worn off the buttons. I tried a few Razers after that and none of them lasted more than a year or two, so I switched to Logitech and then just bought a Zowie today.

I actually can't remember exactly how old these are, because I have 2 of them. But the older one is 12 years old, easily.

I have 2 of them because after one of them lasted for 8 freaking years I went on eBay and bought a 2nd one for when it eventually wore out. And it didn't.

Now just swap back and forth, so one is always on charge while the other is in use.

Oh it's beautiful and the screen resolution is full video with better resolution than the ipods they had coming out at the time. And very easy to use. It also has an mp3 player and picture viewer, but with no wireless capability to its name I just use it for my music.

Samsung K3, though it's probably impossible to find them now. When one of them finally dies I suppose I'll start looking for a new eventual replacement.

>>57881010
I suppose. I kinda wanted dismantling and breaking it down as a fun little project, but either way it needs to get cracked open and 7 years of dust cleaned out. And it could definitely work as a home server.

My OG PS2 still works. I think maybe my OG PS1 still works too, but I'm not sure where it would be.

All of my PS3's Still work, though I had to remove the top cover from my Slim PS3 as it would just sound like a jet engine whenever you'd play it. That was nearly 4 years ago, and It sounds like a jet engine again. I could probably open up the heatsink and give it a cleaning it deserves, but its fairly heavily used by one of my housemates who doesn't give a shit about the noise. My OG PS3 however is still kicking, though a bit loud in its older years.

I've also got an iPod Nano that still works, although it isn't in use regularly. It was the nano model before they released the one with the camera and larger screen.
