I've never seen it spelled "archue" or "achue," but to me they're a
reasonably accurate description of the sound.

What QR scanners are you testing?

Has this Ken Blake troll _ever_ added on-topic technical value to any thread?

No.

What you showed is that different scanners presented the same
information they scanned in different ways.

Which is not the same thing.

Wrong again.

Go up thread, Bev. That's where the discussion started.

Scotch tape has nothing to do with Scotland and doesn't even exist there.

What about hopScotch?

Are you by any chance Chris Ilias from Mozilla? He was no fun either.

This is where I came in.

The trouble is I had to buy a second phone and I'm not sure which phone
it was, and I apologize for not seeing this through to the end, but
traveling is so much more trouble and time-consuming now than before
Corona.

I spent hours last night trying to spend less than $175 for a PCR test.
There is a place nearby that will do it for free and probably get the
reults back in time, but only probably. The test has to be done, I read
on one testing place's website, within 72 hours of arrival. So I looked
at every testing site around here in that light.

Today I found out it's 72 hours before departure, so I have to try to
remember what I read last night or start over. IIRC, only the
expensive places say they'll have it in time, and one promises partial
and full refunds if they don't. Of course that won't get me on the
plane. One place, for $300, will give you PCR result in 2 hours.

Plus there was this question about how to let the airline or whoever it
is know my status. Apparently they will take a piece of paper I print
off my comuter, or even what they read on my phoner. I thought they'd
want a link straight to the clinics or state agencies that keep track
of my vaccinations and tests. Because I can probably edit the pdf file
they send and certainly the email they send. But from this thrad, it
looks like I'm right about the vaccination record. They'll be able to
get useful information out of what I just get SCM/ an dnumbers.

So I'm dropping out of the techniical part of this thread.

Thanks. I looked at that, but I'm too sleepy to appreciate it. I'll
look again later.

BTW, it's interesting that my finger must have slipped many posts ago
and all but one charact er of the subject line went missing. I
restored it here, but much of the thread doesn't have it, and yet it all
threads together. Those guys who came up with this were pretty clever.

He can't be, because 'our' Chris *is* fun!

In Belgium we can use the CovidScanBE app.

If you scan the QR code with a "normal" QR scanner you'll get a bunch of
numbers and letters too.
