If Memory Serves Me Right, the devices function, but:

No one knows how to fix them anymore

MS cannot make more.

All this from the concept that the scientists "notes no longer made sense, 
even what they were working on the previous day"

So I would let an MS gadget exist, but bear two things in mind
1) you can't fix it or make more
2) it is, by definition, outdated technology by a few years.  I *think* 
2063 is the cut off year (making the best MS device old tech by almost 20 
years by 2081) but it may be later.  At any rate, it is pre-2081, so if it 
has not yet been made, they cannot make it.
