Mine's tubes. It must suck to have an actual use for these things and have them all being bought up for clocks/steampunk, though.

Cathode ray tubes.

Netbooks

I wish I could find some hexadecimal tubes. Shit would be cash.

Mobile phone hardware keyboards

...

Nixie Tubes

I don't know if this is actually obsolete since there is a demand and need for it.
CRTs are almost required to properly use retro consoles and what with the increasing interest in retro gaymen and collecting, it is in demand.

Having said that, I don't know anyone who still makes them.

GNU + Linux

Vinyl records.

Linux

The Linux Desktop

It was never a thing and will never be a thing

Had a ton of fun playing around with my hacked PSP back in the day. Guess that one's still up there for me.

Mini-disks

Tubes are not steampunk because it's supposed to take place well before cathode tubes were invented and when they were, the era of steam was already over.

I think tubes are "dieselpunk", whatever the fuck that is.

Diesel-punk is amazing and underrated.

Basically a sci-fi 1910s-1940s looking era.

Typewriters.

But with the recent CIA leaks it seems like typewriters are the most secure OS.

As long as you don't use a backdoored filing cabinet made after 1963.

This. Currently using one, actually, since I'm a gaymer who needs 160Hz but also a poorfag who can't afford an LCD that offers such a refresh rate.

It's quite good for some old programs that run at 800x600 only as well, as any resolution is native and doesn't require scaling.

THIS.

Typewriters are cool but I have no real use for one so I can't justify getting one. Also you have to pay an excessive amount for a dvorak one that probably will work worse than a qwerty one.

Hdd

Tubes are still used heaps in audio

3D women

You're right and they're garbage

Cassette tapes specifically have no real use except for "Muh lossless magnetic media"

Data-Storage tapes go into the hundreds of terabytes, it's ridiculous.

my own dick, I love them even if my wife doesn't use it anymore. . .

Try hard Faggot

x86

do ARM shills do it for free?

Where did I say ARM is better?
I just say x86 is shit full of deprecated stuff like A20 memory line or starting in real (16-bit) mode.

There needs to be more dieselpunk. It's like if world war 1 and 2 era fashion, culture, and technology never ended.

Yes but on the other hand the RISC-V foundation offers a pretty good amount of money per post.

Vinyl is fucking garbage.

You need a replacement before it's obsolete dumbass.

ball mice suck

i haven't looked back since stealing... borrowing an optical mouse from school

I don't miss it for it functionality, but playing with that smooth-firm ball was the most pleasant thing ever.


Until I came.

I'm almost there to.

Software rendering.

You guys are actually really funny

Ooft. Right in the feels

Get a trackball.

Nixie tubes look pretty cool desu

Too bad they're too impractical to implement in anything.
