The MP3 player nobody made accessories for anymore, the phone with the keyboard that slid out, the camera that took an actual memory card the size of a small book. What was yours and what finally forced you to let it go.

Kept an old clickwheel music player running for years after it was clearly obsolete purely because the battery life still put every modern phone to shame

Held onto a phone with a physical keyboard long after everyone else moved on, texting speed alone was worth the mockery I endured for it

My old digital camera survived three house moves purely on the strength of nostalgia, the photos it took were genuinely worse than my phone's camera by the end

A handheld console with a screen so small and dim you basically had to play it under a desk lamp, refused to upgrade for years out of pure loyalty
Normal is overrated

Still have an old GPS unit with maps so outdated it once tried sending me down a road that had been a roundabout for a decade

Kept a portable DVD player working through sheer stubbornness long after streaming made it completely redundant, mostly for long car journeys where nostalgia beat convenience
