Jim - kd9pah<p>While working on assembling my radio kit, I was reminded of something I use that is retroactively obvious. A magnifier headlamp. Pictured. Like 20 bucks on Amazon, five different sets of lenses of various powers, LED light, seems to be pretty well constructed. The same headlamp seems to be sold under several different brands. If you're bifocals have more focal lengths than your radio has bands you need these. I waited far too long. Once you have them all kinds of uses. <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/t41" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>t41</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/kitbuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kitbuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/oldeyes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oldeyes</span></a></p>

Aaron<p>My aging eyes were struggling with the font and font size in Visual Studio 2022. </p><p>Now, I'm struggling to pick a new option -- so many choices that are perfectly mediocre. I'm happy with the text editor font I've selected (JetBrains Mono) - it's for "everything else" that I need a larger and more readable font. (Menus, solution explorer, etc.)</p><p>Segoe UI, which I've used in the past -- feels much too wide at larger sizes. </p><p>Suggestions welcomed. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VisualStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VisualStudio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fonts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fonts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldEyes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldEyes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DX</span></a></p>
Tim Gent<p>Top tip if your varifocals seem wrong: ask the optician to check your frames.
