I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I’ve made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying “oh, you don’t want people around you to think you’re a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work.”

This is still good to know, I didn’t know the bulbs were just endpoints, gonna avoid them going forward and find repeater zigbee bulbs instead. Thanks!

This is sounding similar enough to my issue that I’m leaning towards it being a sengled thing lol. Appreciate the info!

Imo, no, and that’s with selling stocks and such. As long as you know what box goes where it’s really not too bad, just time-consuming at times. I use FreeTaxUSA for state and federal, and I think it’s worth it. I feel like the whole “taxes are incredibly difficult” apply if there are a lot of edge cases surrounding deductions and the like, but to your point if you’re doing standard deductions you can definitely do them on your own.
