Comment on Adafruit acquires RadioShack?

Comments

Daayam. That’s awesome! Hopefully they rename it RatShack and sell actual radios and kits through what’s left of it. Also, it would be cool if there were IoT, electronics, μctrlr interfacing kit subscriptions for academic-level learning through practical kits on a monthly basis.

Adafruit is an awesome, modern business model (juxtaposed to the tiny margins of components and other commodification) that pumps out tons of quality kits, and Fried is killing it! I see tons of new product demos all the time on their YouTube channel.[0]

PS: Still have my PS/2 :cueCat.

Update: if you really love electronics, more YT channels: eevblog, ave, bigclivedotcom, mikeselectricstuff, strange parts, this does not compute, louisrossmann (IIRC)
