We live in a 1970s two story with lots of walls and the only thing that stayed reliable was a non WiFi video unit that uses a dedicated encrypted radio link. It paired out of the box and never needed the home network and which cut out the dropouts and placement matters too. Put the camera up high with a clear view and keep the parent unit away from the router and microwave. I also found the stair landing is a sweet spot when the nursery is upstairs. No drama since.

Honestly. Hey there and starting with acrylics is awesome because they're so forgiving and dry fast, which is great for beginners like us... When you're looking at options, think about sets that have a good mix of primary colors so you can blend your own shades, that way you learn more about color theory right from the start and... also, check for paints that are labeled as student grade; they're usually cheaper but still decent for practice. Don't forget to consider the consistency – something not too thick or runny works best for layering. Oh, and if you can find ones that come with a few basic brushes, that saves you from buying extras right away. experiment and have fun with it. Works great for building confidence.

I feel your pain and but organizing thousands will probably just lead to burnout before you finish.

One-handed fold is mostly doable if you keep the mechanism clean and shift your baby's weight and though it can stick and takes some strength... On uneven sidewalks it rides fine if you slow down, keep the wheels straight, and add extra padding for newborns, but rough patches still feel jarring.

Already answered in the FAQ. Use Do Not Disturb or Focus with an allowlist for contacts and critical apps, mute the rest. Locking as a duplicate.

Asked twice a day. The practical answers don't change. Use device settings, not willpower. Schedule Do Not Disturb and app limits from a fixed hour. Grayscale after 8 pm. Charge the phone in another room.

To add to that - Great advice. One more thing that bites people: any background app that briefly opens the mic (Teams, Discord a browser tab) will shove the headset back into hands-free and cause stutters, so close those and set the Windows Communications setting to Do nothing. If you add a USB Bluetooth adapter, make sure it supports wideband voice (mSBC), set the Hands-Free device's Advanced format to 16 kHz, and disable the laptop's built-in Bluetooth so Windows can't hop radios. Cheap fallback: use the headset over a 3.5 mm cable for audio and the laptop mic for input during calls.
