I’m too young to have experienced RadioShack and Blockbuster Video. Also Toys R Us still exists in my country (Still exists in Canada.) To make a close equivalent I’d say maybe Sears or Target, both whom no longer have a presence in Canada.

Threads just needs to add more features. It’s pretty bare bones right now and has a lot of room for improvements especially comparing it to Twitter. Once they do that I think it will be easier for them to retain users.

I’m using Connect for Lemmy though I am waiting for Sync to release as a Lemmy client. Once that releases I’ll probably switch to that.

Phone I’m Using:

Samsung A50

Am I Happy with it:

Yes, it has been fully capable of performing the daily tasks that I throw at it. Only downsides really is that it no longer receives support from Samsung.

What Phone Did I have Previously:

My previous phones were a LG Q6 and I believe an iPhone 6 or 7. Honestly as much as I love Android, the iPhone was leaps and bounds better then what the LG Q6 was able to provide. That’s mainly more a statement of how bad LG was at making actually interesting phones that were good.

How often do I upgrade:

My A50 is a hand-me-down so atm I don’t really decide when I get a new phone lol.

What other Android Ecosystem Devices do I have?

If it counts, Google Home Mini (have had it for quite a few years)

Do you have any Apple products and/or Microsoft, Linux, etc…

No, I don not own any Apple products of any sort. I own an Xbox Series X, a Windows Laptop from Asus, a Google Home Mini along with a Amazon Alexa (well technically that wasn’t mines originally I’m just “borrowing” it because it was just left disconnected.) Lastly I have a pair of Jabra Elite 3’s which have been pretty good.
