I kinda get how for physical objects

2025-12-18 22:45:02.571605+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

I kinda get how for physical objects where inventory projection is an issue, or limited resources like theater seats, you might want web site shopping carts to have time limits.

But holy shit, for digital resources, make that time limit days or weeks, not minutes.

Cc: karaoke-version.com. Sigh.

Giggle. Nice.

I used to feel kinda weird about the privacy copy levy on cassette tapes, but now... there were voice recorders, and the Tascam Portastudio, but, yeah, cassettes were mostly about mix tapes and taping albums off the radio.

I used to call new Maxell cassettes a capella karaoke tapes.
