<p>Hiding through design! Just don't mess with them. Changing the appearance of QR codes is just one step from hiding them. I've done unformal UX tests and codes that don't immediately trigger "that's a QR code" simply don't get scanned.</p>

<p>I'm currently in Europe and forgot my Unimouse, hence the purchase. I just tried on 5G and get a Forbidden there as well, open the VPN back to US and then the URL works. I see "en-ca" in your redirec there so likely they don't have a default/fallback redirect. The MX4 is nice but damn if it isn't the heaviest mouse I've pushed around a tabletop.</p>

<p>Got an MX4 yesterday and it has a printed card with "Go to logitech.com/mx to get started" resulting in a "Forbidden" error page. This product hasn't even been out for a year!</p>

<p>I'd like to see effort in creating QR codes that are faster to scan or work better from a distance (or when small in frame). Most of my issues with QR codes is that they are hard to scan fast except under the best of conditions, not that they aren't pretty enough.</p>

<p>Interesting. Any way of running this on a desktop with multiple videos simultaneously? Or an Android version that can run on cheap phones and send the timing and moves to a server?</p>

<p>So this doesn't need to be hourly. Use the ECMWF IFS 00 and 12 as observations only.<p>RMSE really favors average models, AI models are bad... but look good in statistics because they are so average. Look at the output of AI models visually on a map and they are just a blurry mess.<p>In my area AIFS and AIGFS get the top results but the actual best performing model (because I'm a weather nerd) ends up in third place.<p>There also seems to be some issue with short and long run models in you comparison. I also see a few models on the list that don't cover my area so it looks like you are not querying for just the specific models but the model+ECMWF fill.</p>

<p>Watermarking is for fools. Those doing the generation and watermarking will control what is perceived as false or true. Watermarks have historically been about proof of ownership or origin. Watermarking fake creations works in reverse, all of a sudden what's void of watermarking is true, but those that control the watermarking can either add them to truths to turn them into fakes or skip watermarking for certain people or organizations, making their fake creations become truths.</p>

Would recommend picking random URLs from an array.</p>

<p>A lot of time spent on stuff like this, what we need however is to make QR codes that are faster and easier to scan at distance and angles.</p>

<p>Have a hard time trusting products like these when they don't have European versions, they either can't make the regulatory requirements (which for something like this is to prevent damage to property and life) or they likely won't be sticking around since why else would they ignore such a large market (the guy takes a stab at Ecoflow, but keep in mind that the US market is just 40% of Ecoflow revenue).</p>

<p>Why? It's one of the most optimized HTTP servers ever. Anything that claims beating nginx in benchmarks should be treated with high suspicion. I think these zeroserve numbers are likely accurate but it doesn't have the features and module ecosystem of nginx so the margins aren't worth it for me.</p>
