@wolf480pl @nytpu granted most #BarcodeScanners these days do #2D codes because theybliterally are a 480p60 camera connected to an embedded SoC or even ASIC and just spit out the scanned code as keyboard outputs via PS/2, USB or Bluetooth…

  • Simply because that's cheaper, faster, more reliable, more flexible and way more eye-safe and -friendly than those laser line scanners.

Libraries and tools like #zbar / #zbarimg / #zbarcam are old enough to buy beer in Germany if not liquor I'm not mistaken.

https://github.com/rxing-core/rxing is a better QR scanner than #zbarimg. Both of them are CLI (as well as library). rxing is written in Rust (a port of original Xing's java library).

It handles images with slightly tilted and rotated QR codes better.

rxing successfully scanned 2 qrcodes from the following image, while zbarimg couldn't extract a single one.

QR codes are normally scanned and decoded by phones. But not always, if you're a developer. Then you find a nifty way to do it on your laptop without camera's, and then write a blog about it.

How to scan QR codes without camera or phone

QR codes are everywhere. Easy to scan with a phone. But what if you want to decode a QR on your laptop instead of your phone, without a camera?

J'imagine que l'effet arrondi du du crane empêche de scanner le code bar sur le crane de Hitman à partir d'un screenshot avec #zbarimg 🤔

La grande question est est que c'est vrai code barre qui utilise un vrai standard et qui finit réellement par 47… ?
