Seeing this, I have to rant for a bit about paying for QR codes. Some not-tech friends hosted a pub quiz some time ago, paper with QR codes on each table with a URL that in the end points to an e-mail address for ordering drinks. Worked like a charm.
But halfway the evening, the 'QR code stopped working'. The paper didn't degrade or the ink or whatever, no, the redirect went out of some limit.
That pissed me off, because a QR code doesn't expire, it still pointed to the same URL but that now wanted some money. The generator they used funneled everything through them so they could do this.
Told them to ask me next time, so I can just embed `mailto:[email protected]` into a QR code which will never stop working.
