I remember being in uni quite a while now back, albeit not THAT long ago, where my trusty T-Series refurbished Thinkpad with "all ports ever made" came to rescue all the sleek MS workstation and apple folks when inevitably their "3 necessary adapters" failed to connect to "last refurbished in 2005" projectors we had
What tech manufacturers consider obsolete and what is obsolete are two very different things. I want all my tech to be some cyberdeck cassette-futurism bullshit where, if I were inclined, I could rig up some generalized I/O port to spit out 1s and 0s to whatever. I don't want sleek, I want 12 hour battery life at full load and also I can use it to beat somebody up

That reminds me of those huge flashlights that took six D batteries and you could club a rabid deer. I would love love love my tech to withstand such forces.

The old maglites. Those were so much fun when I was a little kid. The batteries felt like they lasted 30 minutes before they died though
If we're being honest, the flashlight felt like a secondary feature![sicko-zoomer sicko-zoomer](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/148311ef-673c-4b21-84b4-298ea986344c.png)
