I am happy to see such thorough peer review.
Still makes me laugh that people have that URL memorized through trauma lmao
Lmao it’s the first suggestion in Google if you type DQW
XcQ it's staying blue.
QR codes are surprisingly error-resistant and loaded with redundancy.
Can confirm it works.
What app is that?
QR & barcode scanner
It’s a shame that Rick Astley monetized that video, so now it doesn’t go straight to the Rick roll.
YouTube has put ads on non-monetized videos since 2020, the revenue just goes to Google instead. Source
My browser has been blocking autoplay since forever. I don't really miss it.
Such a shame, that 20 year old joke that is still incredibly funny and epic.
Any idea why your QR code looks so different from the original? Diffferent size maybe?
The app created its own QR code from the image.
You could say the project was a success because... she was never gonna give it up.
Respect but it helped that QR codes have some redundancies built in.
It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.
That's so great we can plaster logos in the center of it without any reasonable considerations and it would still work, so that's now abused by many apps and services. No, they weren't designed to do that, it's just a random obstacle, like a dead bug, that doesn't obscure the reading too much. Trully impressive.
I don't think any error correction is done upon this QR code when it is read. Just some camera/image manipulation to figure out the correct way to process it. Error correction is meant for damaged QR codes. I tried looking for an app that shows how much error correction it used to read the QR code, but couldn't find one.
My friend cross stitched a QR code as a tree ornament and gave it to me for Christmas. It worked, and it sent me to a ridiculous meme video. I admire his dedication to the joke.
My wife did a quilt like this. As a note for anyone else trying something like it, be sure to leave a generous border. It doesn't always scan reliably without a good border.
the border must (not should) be 4 modules (what the spec calls pixels) wide. yccording to the spec
The Rick roll!
As someone that loves crochet thats a lot of work for a troll. well done
Works.
Damnit people I scrolled through the whole thread for this, and well I didn’t give it up and I ain’t gonna let you down either.
I need this
Well crocheting is something that I associate in my head with my mother, I can't help but be impressed by this just so much. Well played mademoiselle, well played.
