@cmconseils useful flow chart that should be taught to every computer science student
@fraggle @cmconseils So, what's the controversy of using QR codes?
@fraggle @cmconseils I agree in all cases where a human is ultimately consuming the content of the QR code (menus, links on ads, follow for the manual) but I do think they’re good for machine to machine use cases. Two examples:
- Passing an auth code like TOTP or a login token from a device with a screen to a device with a camera.
- My favourite: Giving WiFi credentials and an auth token to a networked security camera.
@collectifission @fraggle @cmconseils Unusable without a smartphone.
@OchotonidKnight and also you're asking people to open a random URL in their own device that goes who knows where and does who knows what.
(And a hacker could stick their own QR code sticker over the top reasonably easily...)

@Tattie @OchotonidKnight @collectifission @cmconseils reminds me of one of the funniest cryptocurrency stories I ever read
