If the avalanche is imminent and irreparable?

Yes

But I'll do so while chuckling rather than groaning

So I'm just gonna assume the Slurp thing has indirectly pulled back the curtain on something and *domino meme*

Man I remember when that weird guy had a youtube show for bitcoin and his phone fell off the chair and then he ran off to Thailand. The past was so quaint.

I remember reading coiners arguing that one day Bitcoin would be worth trillions, and all the Musks and Waltons of the world would grudgingly hand over the keys of power to the new class of crypto aristocrats.

Radio Shack is honestly the most cursed company in history.

Pivoting away from small-time electronics projects to miss the maker boom, pivoting to phones right as we all got phones and were "satisfied enough" to not need new phones, and now this.

just absolutely snakebit corporation

I can speak at length about this. The phones were not a problem, they were the biggest revenue driver for a solid decade. It was hubris.

Honestly the biggest single mistake was either trying to compete with big box stores on TVs, or refusing one of several company-saving lifelines offered by competitor-would-be-partners.

It's generally really bad to work at a place that's on its way out. The best play is to find a new job as soon as YoY revenue starts going down at your current company.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
When I was a teenage solder nerd, it was my dream to work at radio shack. I was so going to advise people on the best stereos to buy and which resistors they needed for their project.

20 years later I bought a literal truckload of electronic components from a defunct military avionics company for a penny on the dollar. I became radio shack.

saw a cool history of the television typewriter and how kit books used to work

Nobody else had the wealth of options they provided for cables. I bought so much stuff there for rigging up my NES, SNES, Stereo etc. You'd think they could have made some money off all those addresses they harvested at checkout.
