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.

My fiancee’s car doesn’t like my phone. Sometimes it pairs just fine and gives no issues, other times it will disconnect every 30 seconds. Literally will be working fine, playing music, and then bam, no connection, and sometimes it will be a struggle getting it to reconnect. Doesn’t happen with anyone else’s phone. My phone also never has issues connecting to my car.
Our smart TV (Vizio) sometimes randomly has the video apps crash. In the middle of an episode it will just randomly kick us back to the main menu screen. Seen it happen with multiple apps, so it’s not just a problem with one app’s coding. Happens rarely enough that it’s not a big issue, but still weird.
