Why does this baby monitor keep losing signal?

Great tips above. Also check if your monitor has ECO/VOX mode - at night it can blank the screen and seem like a dropout so try disabling it or raising the sensitivity. When the IR night vision turns on and some units reboot if the power brick is weak; swap in the original or a higher‑amp charger and use a different outlet. Finally, make sure nothing is on a nightly schedule (router reboot, smart plugs, ISP modem updates) that lines up with the drop.
Anyone know which e-reader is best for reading in bed without straining my eyes and does it have adjustable lighting?

Agree with you - Seconding the Clara 2E/Paperwhite; for in-bed comfort the lighter Clara is easier to hold one-handed while the Paperwhite’s 6.8 inch screen gives you more room to use larger fonts without constant page turns. If you can stretch a bit, the Kobo Libra 2 (or a used Kindle Oasis) adds physical page-turn buttons, which are great when you’re lying on your side. Whatever you pick, set the front light as low as you can tolerate and bump the font weight up a notch to cut eye strain.
Is a MagSafe-compatible car mount stable on textured dashboards

I am in desert heat and the gel suction cups do hold, damn but only if I mount on a proper adhesive disc.
Direct to the grainy dash was a no-go after a few 110 degree afternoons.
Heat wins.
In summer I push it back down once in a while and park with a sunshade so the adhesive does not soften as much.
A short arm and tighter joints help keep the wobble down when the base gets a little squishy.
