Fuck me the main point of QR codes is you put them on physical surfaces and people can use them like a link. Making people use two devices to access something that could have just been a clickable link is not how you use QR codes https://t.co/wJebNqroQG

Congratulations Prime Minister, I'm now staring at a QR code I can't immediately scan without a second device
But, not to worry, I did get my second device and I scanned the QR code
What did it lead me to? A download page for Adobe Aero (??)
The worst marketing I've ever seen https://t.co/0492BT1FYB

To conclude …
Innovation is posting something that’s been around for decades but can’t actually be used in the format you’ve provided it
