I don't usually defend big companies but I'll counter here. I bought a 55" LED smart TV from them when I went to college in 2012. That thing has been moved in the backseat of my truck about 12 times, mounted and removed the same amount with multiple mounts, and has lived outside on my porch for the last year.
It's still going as strong as the day I got it. I partly credit it to the thick aluminum housing that seems bombproof and partly to a thick glass screen, both of which are way thicker than my new OLED LG. It once or twice had a red line one pixel thick down the right third but it came right out of it in a few days. The software hasn't crashed or slowed down, and the outputs and inputs are all still tight.
I've noticed that LG tv's are really different based on what range of quality they fall into. The really good ones are really good and the bad ones are really bad. It seems like they may be cheapening their housings and screens, but the OLED is heavy as hell even with the thinner materials so it may be a needed weight savings and trade off. But so far the G1 I have and the C1 at the office are going strong.

I don't own an inreach. Obviously your phone isn't sitting in the snow but the air, crazy as it may seem, is cold too.
Here are a few articles to help you out

LG is trash. Back in 2017 I bought two 4k high end computer monitors that were $1,400 each. Within 3 years I was having issues with both (same models) in the 4th year they both died. Never again with anything LG.

If you are buying your cellphone because it has a feature that you are going to rely on in a life or death situation you don't want the usability of that contingent on whether or not you remember to turn off your phone

I realize is this r/gadgets, but there is actually the option of just turning off your fucking phone when you don't need it

Right and that's great in a climate controlled environment with wifi or strong cell signal. It's an entirely different beast when you are out, it's over 85, and your phone is constantly trying to find a signal. It ultimately doesn't matter if you are using your phone or not. If it's on the battery is being nuked. This isn't just some random opinion, this is how battery powered electronics simply work in the extreme heat and cold

Well usually when I am on hike I don't touch my phone. Why the hell would be on my phone? In addition my phone is always on normal power saver mode. After a work (about 12 hours) my phone is usually around 60 percent and that's with listening to music all day.

So you just got back from a 8 hour hike without cell coverage and used your phone to navigate to and from home and are still at 70%?

It’s a VERY good price for a 240hz OLED.

Reply to Discord is slowing down some Nvidia graphics cards - A recent update has introduced a bug that slows down memory clocks on some Nvidia GPUs. by speckz
Ive known Discord lags for no reason for long time and I didnt need anyone or articles to tell me. I recently got a new PC but for the last few years Ive been using a FX-8350 with a Nvidia 1060TI. Any time I opened Discord, there was a strong chance it would lag the entire system for a moment or occasionally just lock everything up. Whats really fun was when you are playing a game with your friend, in the middle of a raid, and discord decides it needs to run more background services for animated emoji's or god knows what, and triggers this shit, and then you die cause LAG... then the rest of the group I was raiding with dies cause, I was the tank. I remember when Discord was a lightweight VoIP, no animated emoji's, no video players, no streaming BS and it just good'ol fashion worked.
