Updating firmware on the new to us Dell Latitude to 1.42

I am trying to start each day with some bass or guitar playing on the theory that this makes my day better than it might have been otherwise because at least I got some playing in, no matter what else happens.

Like this is a really gross way to sign off from an email
I have a print-on-demand store for literal individual items that I want myself or design for a friend. If I could just set it to "no profit" across the board I would.

Found a refurb 2020 Dell Latitude 5400 (8th gen i7, 16GB, 256GB SSD) for about a hundred bucks for my oldest son. It came with Windows 11 Pro, which we used for about 3 minutes to verify that it was working.

Must-have feature for a #terminal emulator? Easy font size change. My eyes suck. Sometimes I can see pretty well and sometimes not so well. Being able to QUICKLY and EASILY change font size on the fly is a must.
