Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world What's an album with a completely unique sound
Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world What is a thing you can fix with another thing that is not the intended thing, but it's actually better than the intended thing in some senses?
Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world What technologies are ubiquitous today which will be irrelevant in ten years?
Thank you.
I'm an oldhead so I remember the way early days.
Yes, there was a small 'season' that was used to churn out old tech inventory in preparation for the December frenzy. This was in the day that meaningful device updates were, by today's standards relatively slow so it really made sense for holders of inventory to unload the stuff. Its also worth noting that at that time, electronics/tech was at it's cyclycal low in August and early September, so nobody wanted stuff collecting dust while consumer spending slowed.
Conditions are wildly different now. Besides, it was a "genuine" thing for a few years but that's ancient memory by this point.
