I know some people still swear by their old iPods or film cameras. For me it’s a 15 year old Western Digital external HDD. Do you have any older gadgets or tech that you refuse to let go of?

MiniDisc is probably the best designed format in terms of looks.
The discs still looks futuristic with the holographic effect and bright colors.
The size of the discs also contribute to making them a perfect prop for movies and TV shows, they are easily handled and can be integrated anywhere.
Same with a lot of the players and portable recorders.
I will never accept that MD was released 32 years ago, they can still represent contemporary society or a cool tech future.
I am sad that I never had an MD player despite growing up when they were released, I only got one or two used back in 2011-2016 to play around with, it was fun but ever since I was one of the first students with an MP3 player (a Creative Nomad MuVo 64mb) at my school back sometime in 2000-2003 I have been into solid state music players and quickly integrated them into my phone.
They were great back in the day too. I used to have to use a ps2 to write to it as it had the weird connection at the back, I forget what it was called.
I remember I had discs of Tupac , Nirvana and Linken Park. There was others but thats all that stands out.
I use to use it when skating and unlike a discman it never skipped. It eventually died when I forgot to take out expired batteries and they leaked all over it.
So reminder take your batteries out when not in use
