The oldest tech I have are laptops from 2006, 2008 and 2009, a pc from ~2010 and an android phone from around 2012. I also have lots of newer stuff.

I've already built a home server from the most suitable pc. What other real use cases for old tech would you suggest? What is your experience?

My home is very home assistanty, but I haven't found a good doorbell chime. There are plenty of buttons that work as buzzer.

I've got one of them buttons by the front door. Sends regular notifications to me and the Mrs, and there's one old Android phone in the kitchen whose only job is going ding-dong loudly.
