... and all humans?
When I pay a bill on line I have to enter my account number. The invoice I received shows this account number in a 4pt font as:
10000000002987421000331 or something ridiculously long with no breaks and an indeterminate number of zeros stuck in just for funsies.
Sometimes there are alpha characters that include the letters "I" and "O" to guarantee I can't get it right on the first try.
For the love of Dog, and my failing eye sight, could you please break this up into 3 or 4 character sequences, and drop all the 0s out? And if you allow "I" and "O" into the mix, could you please find some other form of work where your clients enjoy being tortured?
Oh, and stop using 4pt fonts, too.
As I struggle to enter my account number I assuage my frustration by imagining which of the circles Dante would put you in.

There are times I've taken a picture of a document on my phone, slopped it over to my PC, and zoomed in 1000% to make sure I've read the numbers / letters correctly.

These days I do something similar to read menus at restaurants.

Goto Texas. There you still order blindly and don't have to read the fine print that may or may not reveal that you are actually ordering soy.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Absolutely legal. Anything and anyway with beef to make it tasty and tender is copacetic in Texas. Just not raw. It's not to be confused with sushi.

A Japanese restaurant near me makes an amazing beef sashimi and I'm wanting that now, lol

...on a faded out sticker, with the second half missing/ripped off altogether
The few times I've had PCs that had this sticker at the back of it - I've taken pictures of them when the system was still new. Then it doesn't matter so much what happens to it over time...

I'm a developer with a vision problem. I was where you are now when I was 25. I've been waiting for somebody else to finally say fonts and displays had gotten too small, even for people with normal eyesight. Getting a bigger magnifier isn't the solution. Printing things in a readable font in a readable point size is.

I find I have to do the document zooming trick on 99% of all things I enter these days, it's a royal pain in the a55

My wife was a dental hygienist and has these glasses with built-in magnifiers. I have to borrow them sometimes to see this stuff!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

And while you're at it programmers, insert breaks in credit card numbers. 16 digits is hard to accurately read in. For a perfect example of a best practice, go change something on a bitlocker protected device and boot it. As you enter the recovery key the entry field automatically adds hyphens to match the recovery key blocking.

It's not us! You should blame the designers who insist that all that text must fit in that tiny space! My favorite at the moment is an annual report by month where each month is a column and should be displayed whether or not there is data. Of course, it needs a total column and enough room for a 50-char description. That's a long description column (variable at least) and 13 data columns that must fit on a landscape print. From experience, 8pt is the minimum depending on the expected size of data and formatting.

And then there's the paper forms you need to fill in. Then try and write "veryLong.emailAddress@whoTookAllTheShortDomainNames.com" into a space an inch wide.
