What is the strangest tech related bug you can't resolve? - eviltoast

Note: this is not a request for troubleshooting help.

For the past few years my 10ish year old “smart” TV will maybe once a week or so completely lose the ability to play sound in the Youtube app, and only in the Youtube app. Sound works just fine everywhere else. Bizarrely this is always triggered by an ad and never a video. Restarting the app doesn’t fix it, and neither does clearing the cache. Fortunately doing a full restart of the TV fixes it, it’s just irritating to have to restart because an ad somehow broke the sound.

What technological gremlins haunt you?

    I don’t know if this counts, but when hold my kindle and phone together and I click the unlock button on my phone the kindle turns on too. Doesn’t happen the other way around, I have no clue how it happens
