I've recently been laid off from my job and have a new one lined up, the onboarding is requesting a w-4 form which I have never had to do before.

From googling and looking around I understand the simplest way for single with no dependents is putting such (and I am,) but I run into a wall with the "extra withholding" box. It's _demanding_ a number of at least 1, and I can't put 0.

Im not even entirely sure what I'm SUPPOSED to put for it if anything. Everyone here knows you don't want to get this stuff wrong

Hello, I'm sorry for the long post but I figure the most detail possible is better.

I'm hoping for some advice on which might be safest (main priority) and cheaper (preferable option) to getting my files off of a dying/dead iPad 7th generation!!

My iPad died randomly a week ago. It wasn't charging above 5% and I figured it was the battery being a little weird so I intended to turn it off and back on. However when I turned it off, it did not turn back on. Tried force restarting, tried leaving in charge for several hours undisturbed, tried leaving it unplugged in case it needed to die fully and be plugged back in once that happened after 24 hours. Nothing.

I took it to a repair shop to see if the battery needed replaced, they said it was stuck switching between charging and not charging and could not be repaired, no battery switching and LCD screen changes worked. They said it's the motherboard.

I have a few art program files I desperately want off of it. I can retire the iPad and get a new one if I can just back up the art files to the cloud. The rest of my stuff would be NICE, photos and videos and such, but are not my priority. My art files are.

I've been looking around at data recovery options to get the data off of it and found out that it's actually done through microsoldering, which makes me wonder if it's cheaper and faster to possibly just get the iPad temporarily fixed/repaired in order to back up and get off all the things on the iPad I want, rather than paying for a full, entire data recovery.

Or is it not guaranteed that a micro soldering will repair the iPad enough for that, and it's just safest if I get the full data recovery?

Any advice or opinions are appreciated, thank you!

Does the fan expo in Anaheim allow mailing in a personal item to get signed at the convention?? I couldn't find anything on the official website about it being an option but found out they tend to partner with/allow a third party named OfficialPix

Problem is that OfficialPix only has a small list of the guests as options to mail in items to get signed at the convention, and the ones I'm hoping to get aren't on that list.

Does that mean they don't allow it or those celebrities specifically don't allow it? I'm really hoping to get an artbook signed.

Does anyone know if Jhonen, Eric, and the crew are part of any mail-in merchandise signing programs for the convention in California?

I've looked all over the social media accounts for the expo on insta, bluesky, and twitter and I can't find out one way or the other if they're doing it.

It looks like the convention is partnered with OfficialPix, but the Zim panel isn't listed as their options, and the expo official website doesn't say anything about mail in orders at all.

I live WAY too far away to go, and was really hoping to send my art book for the signatures with so many of them together for the 25th anniversary, but I can't find out if that's even an option!

At this rate I may have to find someone who's attending who would be willing to do a favor of a lifetime for a total stranger 😭
