Name some computer stuff (anything) that simply never die

[Lynben]

I start first:

1. Mouse pads. Even with optical and laser mouse etc, we still using a mouse pad today. Comes in all sorts of shape and size..lol

2. VGA port. Yes, they are less common these days. But if you check out computers for industrial purpose, it's still there. Literally all rackmount servers come with at least one VGA port as well. Pretty much all monitors still have them.

3. LAN port. Despite all the advances in wireless, it's still there and I don't ever see it disappearing ever, esp. for servers.

Good speakers. My bro had Altec Lansing speakers + Subwoofers from 1990s that were still working fine until I (inherited them) threw them out mainly coz the cables were too messy and couldn't find adapters for them

USB-A ports.

2. VGA port. ... Pretty much all monitors still have them.

not really. more modern monitors, especially high resolution and/or refresh rate ones, have already started dropping them and going full dp and hdmi. even the dell s2422hz, a fairly new basic 1080p75 monitor, doesnt have vga, replacing them with usbc.

speaking of usbc, it should make it on this list eventually.

1) Optical drive - It's still available on market and i been using it since the 90s.

2) Game Pad - Can't do without it since i started playing pc games software from the 90s.

3) Sound Card - Prefer to have it for the best audio performance..

4) Ink Jet printer - Prefer to have one to print/scan necessary documents.

Spare micro mouse switches to fix double clicking mice.

Actually most new monitors don't come with VGA Liao
Cut cost

Is not dead... But not common in personal computing

Btw the topic very confusing... Got different type of answers leh

Never die? Obsolete? Lifespan? Durability?

So many things are still in use today: Mouse, keyboard, monitors, CPU processor, hard drives...not sure what you are really asking for.
