Any company that requires me to scan a QR code to make a purchase is losing my purchase.

It's coming.

The Poshmark morons demanded government id to buy a $35 shirt. On an established account, an address that matched my credit card, etc.

The only answer is delete your account.

The requirements for the mobile devices are listed here: https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652 So it seems that you will need a modern Android device with Google Play Services installed or a modern iPhone/iPad to be allowed to browse the web in the future. No mention of device integrity verification yet, but the writing is on the wall.

You would not last long in China ;) (you pay by scanning QR code in .. well, everywhere)

They don't like contactless technology or what? I don't think that scanning a QR code is significantly more involved but it's enough to be annoying

> but the writing is on the wall.

Only if politicians are still corrupt and law enforcement doesn't work.

Which means the writing is on the wall.

Many sit-in restaurants enforce QR codes ordering. Started during covid, but keeps happening, especially outside US in my experience.

They don’t enforce in my experience. Just don’t bring a phone and they will bring you a paper menu.

The QR code feature looks like it could be spoofed to become a Pegasus deployment method once people get used to them.

Overall it’s a reason to sigh deeply and thank our fellow “visionary leaders” for making everything that little bit worse. At least we’re getting an AI paradise out of the deal right? Right?

It's not really about leaders, but people who are supposed to ensure they are not corrupt.

It seems like security services in many countries started outright to scam the tax payers. Get the wage and pretend brown envelopes don't change hands and policies are not shaped by corporations for their benefit, not the public.

> No mention of device integrity verification yet If Google Play services is listed as a requirement, that implies that a "certified Android" device capable of Play Integrity attestation is required, since that's the only officially supported way to obtain Google Play services. On consumer-facing support articles like this, they don't tend to get into the nitty gritty details like what APIs are being used. If MEETS_D…

>that implies that a "certified Android" device capable of Play Integrity attestation is required

No, it doesn't. It implies that the app for handling the deeplink lives within GMS as opposed to needing to manually install a separate app like you do on iOS. GMS does not have a hard dependency on device integrity APIs being supported.
