Re: UPS is phasing out its barcode scanning system in favor of radio frequency identification RFID
I think the only way around this is if the Seller (does not print label) but sends QR code to their phone and goes to UPS facility and have UPS print the label. It would be too cost prohibitive for Sellers to purchase RFID printer and special RFID labels.

Re: Shipping
It is common for new labels to take 30–60 minutes to appear in the USPS system after purchase. If you went to the post office immediately, the clerk's scanner might not have recognized it yet. If you can't find a QR code in your email or the app, you may have accidentally selected a "Printable Label Only" option.

RE:Vinted query - print at home Royal Mail?
Unfortunately on Vinted the only option is a QR code. I have disabled RM myself on Vinted, too many issues with it not showing as sent. However if I get Relay or DPD parcels they are QR codes only and as I send quite a few I just use my label printer to print the QR code and the shop can scan the parcels as they go and add the labels.

depop giving me shipping label instead of qr code
hi! i’ve been selling for awhile now and only use depop shipping. i have a pair of sweats i was ready to send out today but the tab where i usually find the qr code had a picture of a shipping label instead. i checked my settings to see if i did something wrong or if something changed and i cannot figure it out for the life of me. i’m so annoyed. i try really hard to ship everything within 3 days of selling, and the post office was too busy for me to try to talk to anyone working. has anyone else been in this situation? is there gonna be an issue when i go back to try and ship it w just a picture of the label? i’m so confused and frustrated. thanks in advance, you’re all lovely. submitted by /u/ohslagoff to r/Depop [link] [comments]

Amazon returns have become a nightmare
I already cancelled Prime, but I paid a full year out so still have a few months left... my final straw was how frustrating returns have become! I livee in the Phoenix-metro area, in the center of a very large city with almost every store available to me INCLUDING countless Amazon warehouses! So many of my return items are Amazon Dropoff only, box and label needed and only 2 location are allowed, which are 10 minutes from each other, both more than a 30 minute drive from my house where I drive past multiple amazing warehouses. The first item on here is the exception, often it's only whole foods or staples... and if you're returning multiple items it is EXTREMELY rare to have them both have the same options for drop off... so I'm running to 2-4 places trying to piece-together my return items. Between that and the 30 day window, I'm done! submitted by /u/WishesHaveWings to r/fuckamazon [link] [comments]

After cataloging 100+ items by hand in Obsidian, I built an iOS app to make it faster with barcode scanning, QR storage labels, and full vault compatibility
I need to work on my elevator pitch, but I built an iOS app that makes easier and faster to add your collections to Obsidian. I have been using Markdown, Frontmatter, and Jekyll as a hobbyist and for work. And I love everything about Markdown + Frontmatter. So when I heard about Obsidian, it represented a portable system that combined my mobile notes with Markdown and Frontmatter in a system that was incredibly flexible AND had so many diverse ideas, plugins, and extensions. The possibilities are endless, as far as my imagination can go. I then saw a video from Dann Berg called "How to create a template in Obsidian (Beginner's Tutorial)" and I realized that my imagination was not big enough. I could dream bigger. With DataView, Templater, Meta Bind, Backlinks, and especially Bases there were so many options that Obsidian made possible. I then saw videos of people tracking their books in Obsidian (I versus AI), about tracking their movies in Obsidian (Nick Milo), about tracking their video game collections in Obsidian (Max Frequency), and my mind exploded. I love books, I love movies, I have video games! But, I have a bunch of limited screen printed posters and I never remember which ones I have, I have a bunch of original comic art and I don't have an inventory readily available, I also have a huge collection of collectibles (action figures and toys) and I hate it when I buy duplicates and I never know where in storage they are. So I started using Dann's ideas to capture my poster collection. I captured publisher, artist, theme, size, date purchased, price, image, item number, edition number, etc. And it was AMAZING. for the firs time ever, I had a thumbnail view of my collection. I could define the size of the thumbnail, decide what to show, filter by publisher, artist, etc. But now I wanted more! So I did the same for my original comic art. Instead of downloading the images from the publisher's site like I did with the posters, I scanned all of the artwork and captured everything that was important like publisher, title, issue number, volume number, penciler, inker, colorist, letterer, writer, purchase date, purchase price, etc. I was addicted, I wanted to digitize all of my collections. My toy collection was next. But I hit a wall. Unlike my posters or artwork, the toys were in containers in my storage unit, and I wanted to take pictures of the front and back of the toy boxes, I wanted to know in which box they were located, I wanted to know the manufacturer, theme, item name, etc., and it quickly became evident that there was no way that I would be able to finish this task in this lifetime. Even though I had Obsidian on my phone and it was synching (with Syncthing) to my home computer, adding each toy was taking a lot of time. I needed to take pictures, google information, and in the end, I still needed a way to track where the item was actually located. There had to be a better way. A faster way for me to input item data into Obsidian. Since everything was a markdown file and there was a templated convention for file layouts, and I knew that writing tools/plugins was a valid approach, I thought why don't I build something that will make my life easier and faster. I hadn't written an iOS app in about 5 years, and I thought it would be fun to write something for me. So I did and I went a little crazy. It really is exactly what I was looking for. I built something that made it possible to capture a good chunk of my toys (153 so far), all of my video games (61), and I just started on my DVD's/BlueRays (and of course I had already captured the posters and original comic art with Obsidian). The app itself works with whatever filesystem layout you have in Obsidian, but in general one folder per collection, one asset folder (for images and pdf's), and a template file (compatible with Templater plugin). You create a collection, define what properties you wish to track, set the property types (string, list, date, currency, image, document, etc.), and then you can get started capturing your collection. This is already faster than Obsidian, I can take pictures (I actually scan the boxes with the app), I can templetize the file names, I can automatically set the capture date, etc. But adding information like manufacturer, description, etc. was time consuming. So I added a barcode scanner that would connect to an API provide a UPC and populate an item with the return values. This improved capture speed greatly, but I still had a problem, how do I know where I am keeping the toys (in which container)? So I added a concept of storage locations and containers to the app, so you could track them in the item properties, and thereby see where your stuff was. But adding them to the properties was not really a big deal (even though you could view every container or collectible in a location), I wanted speed. This is when I made it possible to generate QR codes for the locations and containers, and I added storage location and storage container property types, where if you add properties of those types to an item, you could then scan the QR code to quickly add the container/location to your item as part of the add new item flow. So the add new item flow would start with a barcode scan, then pictures of the front and back of the boxes, and finally a scan of the container QR code, and you were done. Sometimes the API doesn't find anything, or sometimes the data is a little off, but in general, it is SOOO much faster than doing it manually. I've been using the app since December and I think I've worked all of the kinks out (at least for my use cases). I'm ready to share it with everyone. The app is iOS only right now (it's been a couple of years since I wrote and Android app, so that might be something to do next) and it is meant to work with Obsidian and Syncthing, but if you don't have those, it works as a standalone app. I don't capture any data, usage or otherwise, this is meant to be a useful tool. I am charging $3.99 with that hopes that it will pay for the Apple Developer account, but even if it doesn't, it has scratched an itch that my ADHD brain has had for a while. After I finish capturing the toys and movies, I need to capture my home electronics, books, tools... Thank you to Obsidian Notes, thank you to the YouTube and Reddit communities, and thanks for reading, happy to answer any questions. The app is called MDCollections (get it? Your collection is stored in MarkDown files) and I just uploaded to the App Store in case you're interested. You can find more at mdcollections.app (Jekyll site of course) submitted by /u/evilrays to r/ObsidianMD [link] [comments]

What’s the best QR code generator that’s reliable, customizable, and doesn’t break later?
I’m putting together QR codes for a few things and I’m realizing there’s a huge difference between the free ones and the ones that don’t break later. What I need is pretty simple but I want it done right. Static and dynamic options would be nice, custom colors and maybe a logo in the middle, and ideally something that lets me download a clean SVG so it doesn’t look blurry on print. Bonus points if it can do bulk codes or at least save my projects so I’m not remaking the same stuff over and over. I’ve tried a couple random sites and half of them either slap a watermark on it, limit downloads, or lock dynamic behind a subscription that feels overpriced. Also I’m a little paranoid about services that make your code stop working if you cancel. If you’ve used one that’s actually solid for real use cases like menus, flyers, product labels, business cards, what did you go with and why? Any that you’d avoid? submitted by /u/Few-Network2715 to r/it [link] [comments]

YSK: A lot of Amazon returns end up at liquidators in the shipping packaging with the original shipping label still on it so be sure to black out your name and address if you are returning something to Amazon in the original shipping packaging.
Why YSK is because you probably don’t want random people knowing your name, address, and what you ordered, even if it isn’t something embarrassing. Amazon doesn’t need your name and address on the original shipping label to complete the return. All of the information they need is in the QR or bar code on the return label. submitted by /u/SAINTnumberFIVE to r/YouShouldKnow [link] [comments]

PSA: Don’t waste your time taking kids to “Jurassic Quest” at the Palmer center.
Promo videos were everywhere online. They made it look awesome. We took the kids yesterday. Was about $150 for the four of us. Kids were all excited. We get there and the entry was cool. There were about a dozen large animatronic dinosaurs as you walk through. Then we get to the main floor. Oh my. Literally just a big, empty exhibition hall with random booths. There were a few bounce houses that had zero staff. Just lots of barefoot kids stepping on spilled food people had abandoned inside them. There were 6’ putting greens someone bought online and labeled as Dino Golf. There were 3 animatronic dinosaurs kids could “ride” for five seconds and pose for a photo on. Since this was the only real attraction, the line was 90 minutes. This was supposed to also be a “Brick Fest” event, so they had a couple folding tables setup with a few random boxes of Lego parts. That was it for the legos. The only food option was hidden in the corner. Microwaved hotdogs and chips with bottled sodas. It was so bad, the longest line was at the State Farm advertising booth. They would take your photo, cut out your face and glue it on a bobble head. We left after about 45 minutes. My wife turns to me and says we should dispute the tickets on our credit card. 😂 Oh- if you’ve read positive reviews. On the way to check out for the gift booth, they offer you money to scan a QR code and leave a positive Facebook or Google review. lol submitted by /u/strikecat18 to r/Austin [link] [comments]

UPDATE - Product from Chinese online retailer has a QR code on the label. The QR code leads you to a website hosting illegal content. What do I do?
I couldn't sleep, so I dropped the dress off at the police station early this morning. Police are handling it now. I have also reported every single message I received asking for a picture of the QR code to Reddit, and also given those usernames to the police upon their request. By the time I had arrived at the station there were 30+ DMs asking to see the QR code. I'll be asking for a refund from the online retailer. submitted by /u/AssociateCautious758 to r/LegalAdviceUK [link] [comments]

Received an order from a major online Chinese retailer and noticed one of my items had a label with a QR code on it. I hadn't seen a QR code on a label before, so I scanned it out of curiosity. It leads to a website that is clearly hosting illegal content. What do I do? Should I bring my phone and the item down to the police station and turn them both over? I don't want to get in trouble for this. EDIT: PLEASE STOP DM'ING ME ASKING FOR PICTURES OF THE QR CODE SO YOU CAN "REPORT IT".

USA : We mail free QR code stickers that direct to www.realtimefascism.com
See us at www.stickittofascists.com : We're a husband/wife trying to target MAGA areas. Currently we've distributed stickers to 300(ish) People in 48 states, with about 35,000 stickers distributed... and we just got a delivery of 30,000 more labels yesterday. We're self-financing, and will continue to for as long as possible. We care far more about getting the word out than we do about spending our money. After your USPS shipping label is printed, we completely delete your data. One hardware bathroom got us 45 scans in 2 weeks. (This was pre-widespread launch, and led us to sit back and go "well crap, maybe this will work".) QR codes are basic, just a QR code with "scan me" in the middle. They then immediately direct to www.realtimefascism.com The thought being - if it's identifiable what it is, then the people who need to see the information, will never scan it. We know it won't change the world, but we're fighting (and losing) a propaganda war. Getting the information into MAGAs hands is at least a start to piercing the cult-veil. The fact that "Why isn't Joe Biden on the ballot" was a top Google search on election day is proof that there is a whole portion of the population completely living in a bubble, and we desperately need to pop that bubble. We launched this about 2.5 weeks ago, and we're starting to grow legs. For the curious, we're only missing SD and WY. Any requests that come in today will be packed and shipped this weekend.. we mailed out 108 yesterday and received 38 more after the print cutoff yesterday, which I'm working on now. Planning on doing another print tonight! *As of right now, we have received enough donations to cover 100% of requests received so far today. You guys are AMAZING. Thank you thank you for all of the help with distribution. As far as I'm concerned, we have the easy part. There's no way we could put this many stickers out alone. :) * Also, I'm just gonna say, we've had about 200 requests today, and still none from SD or WY. Do they not have Reddit?? 😅 submitted by /u/GroupPrior3197 to r/50501 [link] [comments]

Is this a smd microphone in my girlfriend’s nicotine vape?
This sure does look to me like other smd mics such as SEN2991, I couldn’t get the QR code to work and my cursory search of the SKU engraved on the package came up with nothing. If it does turn out to be a microphone, why? For what purpose does a vape need a mic? If it is for collecting audio, wouldn’t it be a little more clandestine? (ie not labeled “mic”) Note: It is labeled “mic” The pcb serial is in the photo This is a FOGER SWITCH PRO KIT 5% vape The pictures are of the drive circuit for the coil, this detaches and is charged by the piggyback battery bank with the screen and button. The reliefs in the center of the PCB are where the air flows into the device. submitted by /u/Loyal_Milk_Drinker to r/AskElectronics [link] [comments]

ULPT: Can't seem to get your Amazon returns to UPS within their returns window? Screenshoot your QR codes!
I LOVE to "buy and try" things off Amazon - my returns pile is usually pretty big. However, I despise anything that involves shipping packages, and absolutely dread having to go to UPS/USPS (not sure why, but I do.) Very often, by the time I worked up the gumption to get out the packing tape, my access to the QR code through the Amazon app had expired...leaving me to either beg Customer Service to reissue the return authorization or selling things on OfferUp/Marketplace at a loss. Here's the thing...while access to the QR code has an expiration, the actual shipping label does not expire. So, take a screenshot of your QR codes right after you set up your return, and six months later, when you finally lug your packages into the store, the UPS employee can scan the QR code from your photo. Enjoy your large gift card balance! Warning: It's still a PITA to carry 15 boxes inside. XD submitted by /u/nopoliss to r/UnethicalLifeProTips [link] [comments]

The Silph Road's In-Depth APK Teardown of v0.115.2 is complete! No Gen IV assets, but this massive update had 18 significant additions! EX Raid pass sharing, Ditto, PokeStop submission updates, QoL upgrades, QR codes, and even hints of a... meteoric signature move!
The Silph Road team has taken a deep look through the v0.155.2 APK to see what secrets can be gleaned about this FOUR minor version number increase (0.111.4 -> 0.115.2) - the most versions we've ever seen increment in one update period. Niantic shared the following release notes for this build: You can now use QR Codes to add friends Improved Pokémon Collection search function lets you search using the term "Lucky" You can now view map details for PokéStops on your screen At-a-glance notifications now show when you have sent a Gift or increased your Friendship level with a friend Additional setting options let you hide Recently Caught Pokémon from friends In-game notifications have a new UI and interactive capabilities Various bug fixes and performance updates And they weren't lying. They really did cram all those new features and QoL upgrades in! But there's always more under the surface. Put on your hard hats, travelers - we've got a lot of ground to cover. Let's get rolling! Backend & Platform Updates Let's hit the back-end and platform updates first before the hype train takes off: 1. Unity Game Engine Updated Pokemon GO is built on the popular Unity game engine. In this update, we watched the app's Unity version increase from 2017.1.2 all the way to 2017.4.6. This is a major undertaking for an app like Pokemon GO! Game engine updates often bring awesome fixes and capabilities, but usually also frustrating unexpected side-effects. We believe that some of the seemingly 'odd' changes our travelers have spotted in this update (e.g. the navigation bar disappearing on Android devices, or shading/coloring/lighting looking different on Pokemon models) may very likely be due to Unity engine upgrades. Off the top of our head, at least one of the Unity versions between 2017.1 and 2017.4 specifically changed how some mobile shaders, specifically, operate in Unity. This upgrade could also fix a host of ills - like memory leaks, Android or iOS crashes, etc. Keep a sharp eye out for these type of changes, travelers! 2. Overhauled Notifications Niantic mentioned a new "At-a-glance" notification for friendship notifications - but really, we're seeing a whole new system for almost all types of notifications has appeared. Everything from Friendship milestones and requests to your buddy finding a candy will now use a new Inbox system with a new UI and even occasionally new informative messages or clickable content. These should be pretty apparent as soon as you update your app! 3. Camera and Screenshot Updates A lot of behind-the-scenes changes have come to how the app interacts with your camera and takes screenshots. This is likely primarily due to the QR code items later in the teardown, but it may have an impact on AR mode. See if you notice anything different! 4. Niantic KidsTM As announced 2 days ago, Niantic has partnered with childrens' tech services provider SuperAwesome to give parents greater control over their child's privacy in their apps. Whatever that means. In practice, it's most likely just an OAuth provider who Niantic can integrate with, similar to Google or Facebook integration, where parents have a dashboard on SuperAwesome to tweak what information is shared with Niantic. We see settings like grantedPermissions that point this way. In the APK, at least, we're seeing more and more features employ an IS MINOR check - for example with PokeStop submissions, certain quests, etc. We also see a new SuperAwesome login screen with the ability to deal with 'forgot my password' situations. We have high hopes that this feature may make some of the more touchy elements of geolocation gaming more suitable for very young children and enable richer family play - but there's not a lot of hints here how this may be implemented in practice yet. 5. 'Replacing' Logins An interesting bit of metadata appeared involving user login accounts: IsActiveAuthProviderDeprecated As well as a new 'action' called: REPLACE_LOGIN_ACTION The first appears alongside the SuperAwesome metadata, indicating they're intertwined somehow. We can't shake the feeling that Niantic will soon employ this and similar code to deprecate (ie, phase out) a certain Authentication service. Currently, travelers can use Google, Facebook, and Pokemon Trainer Club accounts. It seems highly unlikely that the Pokemon Company will have Niantic phase out PTC accounts (the most problematic 3rd party OAuth provider by a mile) due to their brand integration - but it's possible. Perhaps they may phase out certain providers for minors and have them all move over to SuperAwesome instead. Though this would be disruptive, there may be liability reasons propelling such a move - particularly in light of the new, restrictive GDRP guidelines and the ... you know ... whole tracking children's real-world locations thing. At any rate, we're watching this with interest. 6. Nicknaming Friends: 'Change Limit' While this has not yet been reported on the Road, so may not be enabled on the server, the metadata for nicknaming friends received a new error code to join existing codes like EXCEEDED_NICKNAME_LENGTH and FILTERED_NICKNAME (which is likely the inappropriate language filter). The new code is: EXCEEDED_CHANGE_LIMIT Those visiting the Road this morning saw a Pokemon nickname limit take effect for a few hours and be removed. This glitch may have interestingly been caused by Niantic inadvertently applying the Friend 'nickname change' rate limit to Pokemon nicknames. But that is pure conjecture! It is not clear from the metadata whether this rate limit is intended to apply to each Friend* or all Friends in a session. It may operate similar to username changes - where you're only permitted to change a friend's name so many times. 7. GO+ Tweaks We're always interested to see GO+ metadata tweaks, and two small tweaks appeared this update. One recording the deviceId and another the lastPgpDeviceCount. It is not clear what that 'count' may be referring to at this time. But this metadata appears in relation to the Go+'s settings screen, and may revolve around re-pairing devices. See if you can find any difference, travelers! 8. Ban Reasons & Suspended Account Status Niantic's anti-cheats initiatives and 3-strike policy continue to roll forward! Logging in on a suspended account will soon show a new notice to suspended users while locking them out of the app. A banReason has also been added - and we're curious to see whether this will offer any new verbiage specific to each banned wave, or if it will continue to be a generic message. New & Upcoming Features Now for something a little more fun - upcoming features! 9. EX Raid Pass Sharing This is a big deal, travelers - especially for those still hunting MewTwo. It wasn't mentioned in the changelog, but it appears that soon you will be able to "share" an EX Raid pass with others. So, it doesn't look like MewTwo's EX Raid system will be going away - but it may be getting more approachable. If you've shared your EX Raid pass with a friend, it appears that it will show on your in-game public profiles (along with your Pokemon caught and battles won stats.) You also have the option to decline an EX Raid pass shared with you. No word yet on whether it's only 1 invite per pass, or whether both can attend the EX Raid - but that would be our hunch. We can't wait to see this feature go live! 10. Add Friends from QR Codes This is cool! Soon an option will appear to add friends via codes (like has been done so far) or use a fancy QR code! (addFriendByQrGui) Previously, Pokemon GO utilized the ZXing barcode decoder to read QR codes (e.g. at GO Fest for check-ins). Now, the ZXing Aztec encoder has been added, so the client appears to be able to generate QR codes as well. This should be a great way to swap friend codes in-person. No word yet on whether these are rotating QR codes or user-refreshed like current Friend codes. If they're pretty permanent, though, we may have to find a way to get them on Travelers Cards... 11. Ditto Research Encounter Rewards Ditto was promised a while back as a Research Reward encounter - but apparently the 'Transforming Pokemon' still posed some implementation challenges. Now, however, we've seen a good bit added to handle Ditto's irregularities. Keep a sharp eye out while doing Research in the near future, travelers! Quality of Life Upgrades + Bug Fixes We won't even be able to list all the small fixes and QoL upgrades that made it in this update, but here are a few notable ones: 12. New Filter: LUCKY Just as announced - support for searching by 'lucky' has been encoded in the APK. Let the Lucky collectors among us rejoice! 13. QoL: Hiding Recent Catches from Friends The Settings screen will now allow toggling whether to share recent Pokemon catches with friends. The benefits of this privacy update may not be obvious to all at first blush, but here on the Road we've seen several cases where a traveler did not wish to broadcast they were out raiding, due to social concerns in the local Raid group. This feature will be a godsend in those scenarios! 14. Fix: The Berry Bug is Gone! The infamous 'Pre-Berry Encounter Bug' which essentially locked some travelers out of their Research Encounter rewards if they'd berried but left an encounter is now resolved! Whew. 15. Fix: Scrollbar Fixes New checks have been put in place to monitor the screen's content size and update the layout for successful scrolling. There is also a new minimumScrollbarAnimationDistance added. Reports have already come in that the Friends' list no longer scrolls to the top when opening gifts now - but watch for additional fixes to what was previously sometimes challenging to scroll! 16. QoL: Gift 'Sent' Status Indicators As reported in the patch notes and on the Road, a GREAT quality of life update has brought a 'receipt' for the day's gifting activities. This was highly requested, and will make keeping track of Friendship-building significantly easier to accomplish! Future Hype Alright, we made it to the end, travelers. Now it's time for stuff we're really excited about: 17. PokeStop Submissions The POI submission metadata has once again seen more progress. New components were added to the PokeStop submission metadata: SupportingStatement, SupportingImage, and a SignedUrl. Supporting statements and images were added only a month ago in Ingress's Operation Portal Recon as a way to provide background information (and literally background photos) to help with verifying a Point of Interest. The POI metadata was also updated to provide a signed URL likely for image upload and retrieval. (A new action called GET_SIGNED_URL_FOR_PHOTO_UPLOAD makes this seem like a safe bet!) These steps are all good to see making it into the APK! 18. New Badges Planned for Yokosuka Event From August 29 - Sept 2 Yokosuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture will be hosting a Safari Zone in 3 of its parks (Mikasa, Verny, and Kurihama) and will see Tropius, Unowns, and other rare spawns. In preparation for the event, a new badge has been slotted out for each park on each day (15 badges total - though they'll likely all look and function the same)! 19. A Hidden Discovery: METEOR MASH! Last, but certainly not least - an exciting discovery! While it has not yet been included in the APK's move dictionary (a necessary step via client-side update before going live), we discovered visual effects clearly labeled for a new move have just been added to the APK: Meteor Mash! Meteor Mash is a steel-type move introduced in Gen III that can only be learned by a select few Pokemon - notably in Gen IV, Deoxys Attack Form can learn it. But the move is actually considered by many to be the 'signature move' of one family in particular: Metagross! What might this mean for for our favorite four-brained iron-leg species? Only good things... (Hype!) And that's it! Whew. What a mountain of changes this was! We don't see APKs like this every 2 weeks, travelers. Typically these tear-downs only take an hour or two. But with Unity updates (especially several versions at once) it gets a bit more complicated to piece apart the notable changes in all the noise. Nevertheless, you made it through! And over here, I'm all out of Dr Pepper. Through this last teardown, we put some new tools together to help speed things up for next time. Now If I'm going to beat the sunrise tonight, I'd better hit the sack immediately. :| But we're beyond excited to see all this progress happening on so many fronts in Pokemon GO. These quality of life changes are excellent. Several show-stopping bugs like the berry glitch, the Friends list scroll jump, etc, were finally slain - and even some minor ones got some love (like the GO+ Incense bug which always made GO+ing on Community Day more stressful). Add to that how the POI submission code continues to pick up momentum and polish, we'll likely have a ball with QR code friending next Community Day, and we may soon be sharing EX Raids with friends and loved ones. What a world. Oh, not to mention how hyped we are about whatever's gonna go down with Meteor Mash! ...and this isn't even Gen IV yet. :) The future of PoGO looks bright, travelers. Have a good night and we'll see you on the Road! - Executive Dronpes - p.s. Too tired to proofread. We'll do it live. submitted by

TIL An old Heinz QR code on a ketchup bottle linked to a German hardcore porn site. A German man who scanned the code thinking it would go to a design you own label page, got an apology from Heinz, and offer of a free year's subscription from the porn site.
