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

2017 Audi Q7. Keeps alerting that the "Front side marker lights" are defective. Right and Left.
Both lights work fine. Alert comes back every time the headlights are on.
Apparently a super common problem.
Check the fluid level. Wife had the same issue and the guys at the shop just said needed a top off on the fluid.
The headlight fluid? ;)

Not sure about this specific model, but in older cars things like this are almost always caused by either too high or too low resistance in the wiring harness or headlight assembly itself because that's how the car detects when a light is out.
Hmm... so in theory I could diagnose that with an Ohm meter... if I knew the resistance it was looking for...
