FuQ LG.
- I have to bang the top of my LG dryer to get the "more time" button unstuck otherwise it adds more time...forever.
- My $400.00 15,000 BTU LG air conditioner stopped working after 3-months. I could not for the life of me get LG to come and service it. I threw it out.
- My $3,000.00 LG refrigerator has ice in the refrigeration compartment and it freezes everything which is supposed to be refrigerated. Unless I take everything out every 3-months or so and defrost it for 2-days it ruins nearly everything I put in it. It's out of warranty...I'm throwing it out next week.
- The plastic coating is coming off all of the racks in my $900.00 LG dishwasher and the metal being exposed is needle sharp...sometimes the needles have gotten shoved up under my fingernails...felt like a Nazi interrogation session for a while.
- My LG washing machine sounds like a train wreck when it spin dries...I hope it doesn't explode and throw a bearing through my skull when it finally dies.

I am old enough to remember K-Mart. I can actually remember riding in a shopping cart back when they had blue light specials. The last K-Mart within 100 miles actually closed about 3 or 4 years ago. I went in there before the closing had been announced. The roof was leaking in about 50 different places, they had these giant funnels, sheets of plastic, and hoses attached to the ceiling to catch all the water. Some of the hoses were plumbed into drains, others were connected to 50 gallon drums. I've never seen anything quite like it.I was actually going to add that to my own post!
The cash registers were still the old os/2 models from the late 90's (this was ~2014-16). Some of the price check devices and cash registers in the store were hooked to 802.11b access points and the WEP key was printed on a sticker by behind the register. Needless to say, I did not use a credit card.

I worked in a grocery store from 1990 to 1996. We were an NCR store but I remember when the office got a cool new PC running OS/2. I think that's when we got an electronic time clock than scanned a bar code on our ID card so the manger didn't have to sit there every week and add up everyone's hours manually. (Funny how those few extra minutes of work always got rounded down under the manual system.) That was cool shit for 1994.

Stop acquisition now and consider yourself fortunate.

I remember going into Kmart, they had the "specials" down the main isle.
You could go look in the normal department an item normally resided in and find it cheaper than the "specials".

That is using a heatpump in our climate without the ground source of heat installed.
The 124.5 meter deep ground tube is in now, it only needs to be activated.
When you use more than 10.000 kWh per year it becomes cheaper, never thought i would come near that...
Lucky for me the installer of the system covers the extra cost.
I have an ancient (relatively speaking) Panasonic plasma, 720p model, that's still ticking in a basement/guest bedroom. Last time I checked in the service menu it had more than 6000 hours of use. It was my primary TV for many years. Still has decent picture quality.
Have an LG LCD in the living room that's been there for quite a few years. It hasn't broken, per se, but on certain types of scenes I notice some banding has developed in the back lighting. Many people probably wouldn't notice but one of my other black hole hobbies is stereo gear and home theater. I can be sorta anal about that stuff but trying to ease up.
On the other hand, when we got the LG TV I also got an LG BD player just to try to ensure the HDMI CEC and all that would work well. The BD player died pretty early on. When I contacted LG about warranty repair or replacement they said for that they'd just cut me a check for the purchase price rather than repair/replace. They did. I bought a Panasonic BD player for replacement. although I had to pony up another $20 or so. It still works, however.
