Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

I still have a monitor on my main setup that uses DVI because I'm too cheap to upgrade.

Before upgrading to a 49inch super ultra wide monitor i used the same monitor for 20 years. Was an odd resolution 2048×1152

I still have the old one too just don't have any deskspace for it

I'm still using my dvi monitor because i have a relative cheap computer, it's 1080p but i don't care, but i'm finally going to upgrade my whole setup (in sometime), because i'm planning to use my current computer as a server and it was cheaper to buy new really good computer then it was to buy a refurbished one (weirdly enough)
