Speaking as ex rat shacker, components and kits were already trending down as consumer electronics became more difficult or impossible to repair. Then they ultimately folded after incompetent leadership bet the farm on cell phones sales exactly while iPhones were still AT&T/Apple store exclusive.

    I was working there during that time and it was awful. No one with any interest in electronics ever came in. Just the thirteenth person of the day asking for an HDMI cable for their phone which like 3 phones supported at the time. Why did everyone want that feature? I’ve never met a person who actually used that setup.

    That was me. I remember asking about phone HDMI cables in a RadioShack as a teen.

    I wanted to Bluetooth a controller to my phone and plug my phone into my tv and play some emulators.

    I never did manage to do either with my phone back then. I can do it now, but I never play games on my phone lol.
