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
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
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.
While not strictly a QR code, I always liked that the Dolby Digital data between perforations on a film strip had a tiny Dolby logo at the centre.

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.
Error correction is always used, in case the QR code is damaged in a way that leaves a valid-looking QR code. In this case, it likely fixed any accidental misstitches. I don't know how to check how much was used, but thanks for the afternoon project!
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
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.
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.
