Matthias Winkelmann's company decided to go the ole' outsourcing route and hand off all development work for a fixed-bid project to a certain overseas company. As it turned out, the hourly rate for certain overseas programmers were less than half that of the in-house folks, so management did the math and figured they could profit that much more. The in-house programmers were told to spend "only a little bit of time" on the project -- no technical advice, no coding assistance, and no even looking at the code. They were only to assist testers in "effectively communicating technical issues" to the overseas team. As it turned out, there were a lot of technical issues, and a lot of issues communicating the technical issues, so that job ended up taking quite a bit more than "only a little bit of time."
Found my old iPod classic and was surprised to find that it still holds a charge (no spicy pillow yet) and even syncs to my old MacBook's Music library!

One of my favorite out of date technologies is the MP3 player. I have an iPod classic from 20 years ago, and a simple speaker and I use it every day. So good.
The other one I love is the Alphasmart Neo. I bought a second one just in case they get harder to get or mine breaks.
