I figured out to use wind chime to scare birds away from my fig tree.
I ordered two wind chimes/bells from Amazon and hang them on the fig tree.
it seems working because I get two ripe figs.

That is really great Engineering solution. 
Very smart use of devices which have already been created/built (component reuse).
Also, simple application of device without any collateral damage.
+5 Engineering points to you.
Always like to hear how people solve challenges.

Perhaps another use for the salt shotgun?

the wind chimes are aluminum. Wind blows away and the music is harmonic too...

A whole tree normally produces more than that.

Two wind chimes - 2 figs, how well do you like figs/wind chimes?

I would post a "this is not a fig tree" sign.

We have hummingbird feeders on our patio. One hummingbird was just sitting around. So I posted a "no loitering" sign.

Edit: Never mind, I apparently missed the link.
Not to plug my article, but it almost takes seeing to believe this comment. Img2Cpp: Create C++ Headers for Embedding Images[^]
It's so bizarre and out of context it can only be a bot, but what is the point? There's no link. There's not even a brand in it. There is a local IP which is just weird.
This isn't the first time I've gotten something like this. I wouldn't classify it as normal spam because it's not selling anything that I can tell.
It's just weird.

There appears to be a link to something like "xxxxxx.com.mx", I'm not touching that one.

I also noticed the link, which you have to mouse over to see the real address. I reported it in the Spam & Abuse forum, so the comment and account will be gone soon.

Does anyone know of a way to set the point size of text in windows 10? My sister needs the text to be a little larger, but not the 125% that Windows offers. In Linux, it's easy.

Greetings,
What about the other options - making things smaller? I can use features in Word, Excel, etc. to shrink things to 80% so I can see more on my screen. But Windows only appears to support zooming from 100% or greater.
The problem with using an applications zoom option is that it often only applies to the "main" text, not menus, toolbars, etc.
This is with Windows 10, but the same issues appears to be the case with 11.
Just curious

Well, that would be a first for me - I've never wanted to make the fonts smaller. Even the feature on Excel and Word is not much use to me. I'm sure other people use that well!
I suppose the it is an "accessibility" thing, so Windows has options only to increase the size...

+3% is probably too small, I don't get any character size changes until 4%.

At the same time, setting a web page element font-size to 1.1em does show a visible change. I wonder who Microsoft has doing the math code...
