Try keep track of it for a few days. If you see it changing then that'll answer the question for you.

senrath posted:It has a 2010 timestamp in the image. WAAAAAT? (Yes, I obviously saw the timestamp, that's what prompted my question. I meant, did someone photoshop this for some weird reason or am I just misremembering when this picture was from - 8/26 was when Katrina hit, in 2005, and I always thought this pic was from Katrina, so I'm wondering why the timestamp says 2010 - i.e. did I berenstein bears this pic) edit: looking at it again, if it's an American picture, it's very weird the date stamp is in European format... edit2: well a quick GIS doesn't come up with the original source but it certainly appears a lot mostly posted to Cisco forums as a funny pic, and with that date stamp. So I guess I mentally retconned this into being taken during Katrina. My entire world is crumbling - if THIS isn't real, what ELSE isn't real? Is it...is it possible 2016 and the last four years weren't a fever dream? Did Donald Trump actually get elected president? but...but that means....oh no.

Two years ago I was involved in setting up web hosting for a third-party who purchased our services to serve files related to a QR code that was going to be publicly installed. Last week I was asked to transfer ownership of this hosting to the third-party so they could take over paying the account rather than continue contracting it with us. Today I discovered that the project manager provided the QR code manufacturer the plesk preview url instead of the subdomain url.

Spring Heeled Jack posted:I have some good news, no one ever actually scanned the QR code. My company's marketing department made a big stink some years ago about getting a QR code sticker to put up everywhere and also include it in our circulars. So I setup a tracking URL for it, made up a code and sent it to them. This code is plastered all over our stores, on statements, on every circular, and on every piece of advertising material that goes out. In 5 years how many times would you guess someone actually went to the URL in the code? I just checked and it's a grand total of 4 times! And all 4 of those visits have our corp. office IP on them.

I think the only time I've seen it done is people scanning the code you get in Pokémon card packs because it's easier than typing them out.

I've spent most of this year scanning QR codes but that's been because I wanted to know if I needed to quarantine rather than to see a VR model of a landmark I'm already visiting.

My best QR experience was when I visited Frankenmuth during their winter fest many years ago. I took a picture of one of the displays and tweeted it out. It happened to have a QR code in the display, which a friend of mine was then able to scan and we lol'd for a few minutes about that. Actually, scratch that. In today's quarantine world, my wife got me a whiskey advent calendar from our local speakeasy. They're 'mystery' drams, like an advent calendar should be, and each of them has an associated card with a QR code that links to the website with the details for the dram. But otherwise, they're pretty useless from a business viewpoint.

I have a QR code for my wireless network SSID and password taped inside of the door to the pantry in our kitchen. I and the missus have found it much easier to tell people to scan the code with their phone when asked “do you have wifi?”

I've been to restaurants during the pandemic that instead of paper menu's they tell you to scan a QR code.

I could see QR codes getting used slightly more now that IOS cameras natively read them instead of requiring another separate app. I think android already did that as well.

I'm trying to remember the last time I scanned a QR code. I think it was to pair some device to my phone because I was too lazy to type in a password on a touchscreen.

At one point in my travels I sat not too far from a coffee machine. I don't drink coffee and was sick of people asking me about it, so I created documentation in Confluence and made a QR code that linked to that page. Actually, I did the same thing for the water cooler that would frequently break. I don't think it was super useful, but it was nice to be able to say "scan the QR code" instead of having to get into the ins and outs and fixing kitchen appliances.

Oh, yeah, if you want to log into multiple devices on discord, you can scan a qr code on a logged in client to instantly log in a different device. Last time I actually used my discord password was a couple years ago, despite wiping all my devices over the pandemic

Ton of mobile-first payment providers use QR codes, like AliPay, WeChat. I’ve used the QR functionality in Venmo when using it to pay food trucks that use it.

I wish we had a good coffee machine. We have this piece of poo poo:  I don't know if it needs servicing but it's watery than poo poo. Once in a while I can get a french vanilla out of it that rivals the local gas station, but only if I'm lucky.

Best coffee I had when was at Pivotal, where they supplied us with 4 Baratza grinders, 8 pourover stations and let us expense a reasonable amount of beans per week. Worst experience was at a NOC, where they had a pretty good WMF 1500 loaded with Illy beans for espresso. Except they shut it off at the end of the working day for cleaning and the night shift NOC operators had to make do with a frozen concentrate machine.

I have used QR codes for guest Wi-Fi details as it gets around the "that's too complicated for people to type in" problem while also not having a completely open network.

Same, we have a Trade Coffee sub for a bag / week, and one from an SF roaster (Andytown) for 2 bags every other week. Most of the time it works out, but the delays mean sometimes we have only one bag of coffee, other times 5 bags.

I've been meaning to set up a qr code for network wifi access for forever. But I don't have a revolving door of guests and anyone who needs it has it, so, effort. I really should do it for my said hidden iot network, but I dumped all the waze cams and nothing really uses it. Except maybe my sous vide machine.
