We got LG in 2015. Had one minor issue with a relay in the control panel maybe 5 years in (which after I bought the part, but before I installed it, corrected itself). It's got the digital timer display, and 'bubble' buttons, but no 'smart' screen or anything.

I love seeing things like this because it reminds me how FEW people really hold bitcoin. As @npub1587…kv0n said a couple years back (and got me to finally buy in) 'if you buy bitcoin today, you're still an early adopter'.
Think about that! Not even all the geeks are into bitcoin, so a small percentage of a small percentage. Where does it go when 10% of humans want some? (up Laura)

So my 4 year old grandson was out in our pool and as he's walking through some clover to the patio he steps on a bee. I was out watering and I saw him crying on the patio as my wife walked over.
I got to him first and asked him if he stepped on a bee. He said yes and I grabbed his foot and said "OK, remember, I've got to get the stinger out (not only to remove the 'pointy part', but also the stinger will keep pumping venom into the foot!) .
He replied 'I took it out already, I didn't want all the venom'.
I asked him, so are you OK? It was just upsetting and that's why you're crying? And he said 'Yea, the stinger didn't hurt but the bite did!'.
So a 4 year old kid kept his head about him through a high stress situation (and scary one as well) and he still managed to ACT and act properly to mitigate the problem as best he could.
These kids are my heroes, and getting to help figure it all out is one of life's great gifts!

It seems to me, if you witness a pattern often enough, you really have only two possible reactions:

Or b) Recognizing it (relatively?) clearly each time it does recur.

So two years ago we bought a Frigidaire 44lb a day icemaker at Costco. It didn't make that much, the ice was tiny, a lot of it melted, it wouldn't fit under the shelf on the kitchen counter and the water tank was impossible to empty or clean.
We hadn't used it for the first month or so that we had it, so despite these problems we kept it and used it on the odd occasion. Maybe 5 times.
It was so bad we picked up one that was recommended that made 26lb a day. That worked much better, fit on the counter, was easy to fill and made larger cubes.
Really wanted something with more capacity, which is why we got the larger Frigidaire rather than the one recommended in the first place, so when Jack recommended the Vevor 37lb / day model, I wanted to try it, however I had $280 in icemaking already... But,
Someone I talked to about it said 'doesn't Costco let you 'return anything''? I had heard that, so I thought I might test it out. I checked the attic for the box and it was not there (we've got the space so I usually save them), but googled and it sounded like the box didn't even matter so off I went.
After two years and with no box, the only question was 'what's wrong with it'. I replied 'it just doesn't do a good job', and they gave me a full refund!
Anyway I got the Vevor (for $42 less) and wanted to share a bit of my experience. We did one run to 'clear it' and then made some ice for the 4th. Today I ran it to see what we actually got. I ran it till the 'tray full' indicator stopped it. First run form a cold (warm 79°) start we got 4.48lbs in 3:10:00 give or take. Next run got 4.1Lbs in just under 3 hours, so about 32-35 lbs per day. The Ice is bigger than the big Frigidaire but similar 'chunk style ice.
Totally happy with it as is my wife. It's at full price right now, but well worth keeping an eye on for another sale.

Learned a WHOLE lot about central air conditioning today.
Previously had a problem with the compressor not firing up, replaced the capacitor and that seemed to have fixed it. Last night it did it again, the compressor buzzed and the air handler blew, then stopped, then blew again.
I replaced the 'contactor' in the compressor this morning to no avail but after five hours in the 100° attic, and troubleshooting the entirety of the 24V system, I found that the pan sensor had failed. That sensor protects it if the condensate doesn't drain from the unit properly and fills the pan. Normally it passes the 24V connection, when it triggers, it 'opens' and shuts off the circuit (0V), when it failed it instead just passed 10-16V which would trigger the 24V relay, but then it would switch off again causing the blower to go and stop and go and stop. Also 16V isn't enough to engage the 'contactor' (240V relay) in the compressor.
I took that sensor out of the loop and it appears to be working fine now. I'll get a replacement at the supply house on monday.
Got to say, don't make friends exclusively for the 'benefits', but it is great having friends in the trades who don't mind answering questions when you have problems!
I'm a good troubleshooter, but out of my element here, so just a little specialized knowledge made all the difference and saved me easily a grand. Also got me into the unit so I can see that I should probably start saving for a replacement over the next couple years...

Don't know the conference, or if it's just semantics, but Freedom and democracy have VERY little to do with each other.
Democracy is a construct. An illusion of freedom that's been slathered over nation states to make those ruled by a (controllable) mob feel free.
Individual rights must be the immovable object:
The mob says we can take 40% of your income
The mob says we can force people to pay government for the rest of their lives for a home they already paid the seller for.
The mob says we can cage a person for smoking a plant etc.
Your individual rights to keep your property and live your life says none of those things, but government has gotten 'democratic' mobs to say all of those things and much worse.
