Update: my old phone's battery died for good last week and it made me dig out my first smartphone

Last week, my daily driver from 2020 finally gave up, the battery swelling so bad the screen popped off. I had to go dig my first real smartphone out of a drawer, a model from 2013. Holding that tiny, thick brick with its scratched plastic back was a trip. I charged it up and the screen felt so small, and everything loaded so slow. I remember being blown away by that camera when I got it, but now my kid's toy tablet takes a better picture. It's wild how a device that felt like magic a decade ago is basically a paperweight now. What's the oldest piece of tech you guys still have that actually powers on?

What's wrong with a paperweight that still turns on?

It's just a really expensive light.
