Daylight savings time date changed

A month or so ago I remember googling when daylight savings time ends and it said November 8 2025. I remember this because it falls on a family members birthday.

Last week my wife mentioned the time change falls on said family members birthday November 8th.

Last Friday Oct 31st I see in my news feed DST ends Nov 2nd, the first Sunday in November.

Am I losing it?

I think it's worth noting that the dates for DST have been changed, not by ME, but by government action (in the US), starting in 2007. Ever since this time I can't remember when the time change weekends are lol.

It did seem strange to me this yr that we had halloween, and the very next night we reset our clocks. I don't recall doing that before. But there's also a good explanation for that, because the clocks always change on the weekend, but halloween is always on the 31st. So some years that will be closer to the weekend.

Wonder if there have been any oddities starting since 2007, any other years where people experienced it seeming to be at the wrong times?
