2027 is a sunrise date, meaning retailers are expected to have updated their checkouts to support scanning the 2D Barcodes.

Industry has set a date to make the transition to accepting 2D barcodes at point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-care (POC) — referred to as Sunrise 2027. By the end of 2027, retailers would need to ensure their POS systems are equipped with scanners capable of reading both traditional barcodes and 2D barcodes. The shift has already begun with the new technology being tested in 48 countries across the world, representing 88% of the world’s GDP.

GS1 call it 2D Barcode. It’s a QR code that embeds a GTIN https://www.gs1.org/industries/retail/2D-barcodes

the embedded link goes to a resolver, the functionality of which they have released so anyone can build their own resolver system.

They’re replacing the ol’ EAN / UPC barcode on products too starting in 2027. IBN Link

I bet there's influence from Peter Theil in this, too.

Indeed. Then he blathers on about how Kamala would introduce more “red tape” and Trump would have a freer energy policy (coal I guess?). Overall, just a very weird, disconnected thought process from Key.

After the edibles kick in

On a high dose of mushrooms, blindfolded in a dark room, and with earphones on, you won’t even know you’re a person who’s taken a drug

Isn’t this only affecting their very low downforce rear wing spec?

Are they? The Subprime AI Crisis

It seems a cool trick. Why don't they all do it instead of having it banned?

What kind of dosage? I like 50mg THC.

I feel so seen
