    The QR Code Is Not the Problem. The People Faking Them Are - QR Code Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Nearly 100 million Americans scan QR codes every year. They use them to pay for parking, split dinner bills, check into doctors’ offices, browse restaurant menus, and board airplanes. Global QR-based payments hit $5.4 trillion in 2025. By 2029, that number is forecast to exceed $8 trillion. QR codes are not a trend. They are infrastructure. Which is exactly why criminals started using them. A new category of scam called quishing — QR code phishing — surged 146 percent in the first quarter of 202

    iOS 27 Is Out Today - Before You Update, Here's Exactly Which iPhone Gets the New Siri and Which One Doesn't - QR Code Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For most of the 1.4 billion active iPhones on the planet, this is the biggest Siri update in the assistant’s fifteen-year history. Not the biggest update of the year. The biggest update ever. The version of Siri that shipped with the original iPhone 4S in 2011 and the version that shipped yesterday are genuinely the same product in spirit — a voice command layer that set timers, checked the weather, and embarrassed itself constantly when anything more complex was asked of it. The version that ju

    90 Years. 88 Hours. 10,000 AI Agents. Here's What OpenAI Just Claimed — and What Is Still Being Debated - QR Code Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    An internal AI model — not released to the public, described only as significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra — had produced a proof for the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem. One of seven Millennium Prize Problems designated by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. One of the six that had remained unsolved since then. A problem that has resisted human mathematicians for roughly 90 years. The model took 88 hours. It deployed up to 10,000 AI agents working in parallel. And it pr

    The EU Just Decided ChatGPT Is a Search Engine. Before, Only Google and Bing Had That Label - Here's Why That Small Classification Change Is a Very Big Deal - QR Code Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    On August 31, 2026, the European Commission made a regulatory decision that sounds like a technicality and is anything but. It classified ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine under the Digital Services Act — the same legal category as Google Search and Microsoft Bing. Two days later, that classification is still being processed by the people who cover technology regulation for a living, because its implications run in several directions at once. OpenAI’s ChatGPT now has four months to co

    Japan Was the Country That Refused to Give Up Cash, Then PayPay Happened — and Everything Changed in Five Years - QR Code Press (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This sounds unremarkable until you understand what it replaced. Japan was, until recently, a country where even major department stores sometimes did not accept credit cards. Where salary workers received their wages in physical envelopes. Where the ATM was closed after business hours and you planned your cash withdrawals accordingly. Where a foreigner without yen in their pocket could find themselves unable to pay for a meal in a restaurant that had been operating for forty years. Japan’s relat
