I've given up on LG and Samsung appliances. This includes TVs, all electronics too. They are simply the worst products to live with. They break frequently, hard to find parts for, even harder to fix if you even manage to find the part. They're designed by AI or something, I've never encountered such hostile engineering. They are never intended to be fixed, hidden fasteners, one time use tabs made from some of the lowest quality plastic. Oddly enough, the cheapest GE appliances are made to be fixed seemingly. Parts are readily accessible, they're super easy to repair.

But it's the end of korean electronics and appliances, and this extends to cars too, Kia and Hyundai designs are near the bottom in terms of repairability.

I still don't get what makes korean brands _extra_ shitty. Like these dark patterns are all over the world but somehow korean brands crank it up to one more level.

I have no idea how it got so bad either. Even manufacturing must be a pain with such odd designs. Their cars are just a pit to work on, non replaceable ball joints, have to buy the entire lower control arm, a $5 repair turns into $500. It's insane

Most people just keep buying this crap and a tiny percentage of customers happen to worry about privacy.

I don't get why everybody bought that crap.

All the while the better alternatives got bankrupt.

So, most people should stop whining an live with the hell _they choose_.
