I'm holding off filing my taxes because I'm a bit paranoid about misinterpreting the wash sale rule. I think I'm good since I sold one security, some for a gain and some for a loss, and bought a different security, I just want to be extra careful. End of this month should mark 65 days since those transactions happened, and I may need to do some rebalancing.

I usually update my spreadsheet again when I do taxes, so I'm excited to see if I crossed another milestone. I update my accounts more frequently, but I only check my SO's accounts at tax time.

You should be fine re: the wash rule. Just remember it's 30 days before and after the sale (so make sure if you bought any of that security 30 days before you sold, you have to have sold that lot as well).

Got home from being out of town and my personal laptop is broken. It seems either to be a dead motherboard or dead hard disks? Not really a computer person and mostly used Gemini to even get that close to understanding what was going on. It is probably ~4.5 - 5 years old so I'm guessing it's about time for a replacement.

Any one have suggestions for a decent laptop? I mostly use it for web browsing/streaming. I do also use it to process photos after vacations. Not trying to break the bank while still getting a decent product with a hopefully better lifespan.
