This is a short list of them...

The last on this list is my new keyboard. It has an anodized aluminum top plate and doesn’t flex under typing (just like those oldschool keyboards with heavy steel back plates), is ridiculously heavy (compared to every keyboard I’ve used recently), and has mechanical switches (MX brown). It also appears to be the exact same layout (size, key pattern, etc) as a Windows-variant Model M style keyboard, as I can type on it really fast from some ancient memory I have of pounding out code on keyboards with this exact same layout.

I’ll admit that rubber dome keyboards have ruined me a little as I pound on this keyboard even though I don’t need to...

I GIS’d the first tank related thing that came to mind:

There’s things built like a tank, then there’s things tanks wish they were built like.

How did I forget to include an old Nokia phone?!

These really were peak toughness in cell phones. I think they even slightly edged out the 51xx & 61xx phones of the 90s.

Indeed. You couldn’t kill the damn things. They should put one in a museum.
