    Thats shocking Accumulotor, and I am pretty unshockable about this. Anybody who has eyes to see can surely see that we are turning into a Chinese Communist Party type of society, rapidly. The virus has nothing to do with it.

    Well perhaps the excellently run Valenzuela* to begin with, later the Chinese social point scoring system perhaps as witness by the (pre-covd) lockdown lads, QRCoding themselves in oblivion over in Xinjiang, whilst getting a re-education.

    *‘NO QR Code, NO Entry’ policy in Valenzuela starts on October 5

    There have been cases already (reported in mainstream media, online newspapers etc) of people being refused access, denied service or goods because they didn't (or can't if no smartphone present).

    Yes there is the paper and pen option, however a business can decide to refuse entry if is already busy and does not have someone at hand to jot down details, hence: refused access and service.

    Many old folks have simple phones, in the coming months, as this does become the norm... they may well start to discover they're not wanted if some busy waiter etc. hasn't got a spare 5mins and pen, paper to attend to them. Of course you'd probably call this old wans nutters etc.

    Why would I call someone a nutter for not having a smartphone? I can see the problem and it probably does happen occasionally, but I do think you are blowing this out of proportion a bit.

    As well as the push to ensure everyone has a trackable digital identifer or digital footprint, and to dump their perfectly good simple old school Nokia with 10days battery life

    There is a larger issue with the use of QRCodes, for the non-techie (mostly older) folks.
    A QRCode scan, on a (data rich) user's smartphone, is the 'perfect vector' for users, and their data to be edited, modified, hacked, misdirected or indeed scammed.

    The only way around this would be to assign a scanable QR type code (as a unique, persistant, lifellong identifer) to the person themselves, not for them to accept one created by a 3rd party.
    Of course this is likely on the way, but not for some time yet, and has it's own concerns also.

    I live in England, I havent scanned a single time anywhere i have been, your making it out like its compulsory when it's not.

    Your making out you don't understand the previous post, or failing to understand simple facts, or twisting for dramatic effect.

    Certain categories of business or venues must by law (only since 24 Sept, Eng) have a QRCode Poster at their entry point, or they will be fined 1,000 notes (at first offence).

    Certain business owners within these, may choose, by themselves on their own accord (various reasons e.g. low staffing, no pen, no paper) to refuse service to anyone not scanning these posters on smartphone, or wanting to use pen and paper instead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    Of course most cafes, diners etc are desperate for customers (retail are having it worse than anyone).
    But the ones that are busy, or having a busy hour, can by choice, tell the customer to 'get lost' if the don't have a smartphone app scan, at point of entry.

    Yes, they are there for people who have chosen to download the track and trace, there is nothing to say people must use it, can you show any business that has turned people away for want of pen/paper?

    My local has a book inside the door you can sign and put your number down if you choose to use that option, no staff time taken up. You're just scaremongering as usual over things that "could" happen in your own version of some sort of distopoian future that is made up inside your head.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr

    Yes, there are plenty of reports of denial of service, across various media (press and twitter) and it's only been introduced as a facility just days ago.
    It may be a small minority, but it does set a precedence.

    Pen and paper are often not available when you need it most, ideally everyone would have a pen in their shirt pocket and a notepad in the back pocket too.

    The issue around QRCode safety remains, anyone can stick a poster up with this usin custom code e.g. on a closed/vacant shop and use it for data hacks.

    "For want of pen/paper" is what i said.

    I'm in Liverpool and Manchester a lot and have never been asked to scan a code or if I even have the app (I dont).

    I would eat out at least three times a week in different places, again I have never been asked to scan a code or if I even have the app.

    Personal experience says its bs, if I ever am denied service then I wouldn't go there again, its as simple as that.

    Stop trying to make out that people are being forced enmass to download the app or scan codes, its a lie.

    Not a single person has been refused access or service?

    It's a simple enough scenario, a packed out cafe at lunchtime will prefer a customer whom has a quicker point of entry and ease of transaction.

    Why so hard to accept this, a serial denier?

    You personal stories or anecdotes mean very little, of something rolled out just days ago. Of course the world itself does not revolve around one person, it's a great big world out there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    Of course the vast majority of QRCodes are genuine, more so the official ones on open, and fully operational premesis.
    There is still always the small risk however of the little graphic square containing a box of frogs, or bag of cats.

    You don't need to carry it though, places have these supplied either a book at the door that you sign or slips of paper on your table (witherspoon do this) there is no hurry to sign straight away therefore no panic.

    But you need to believe this as it feeds into your scaremongering about tattoos and Mark of the beast biblical end of times theory.

    You haven't provided any sources for any of those claims.
    You are now fluctuating from the idea that this was going to be something forced on everyone to "a single person being refused service".

    Also given how you conspiracy theorist have been claiming basically all news and science is controlled fake news I find this latest statement a bit disingenuous.

    Again you are scaremongering.
    You shouldn't do that just to indulge in fantasies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,190 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    Since last Thurs (24 Sept) businesses (designated types and organisations, including hospitality, close contact services, and leisure venues) in England, MUST (by law) display a QR Code Poster, at their entrance, or face a £1,000 quid fine if they don't.

    It's up to a £4,000 fine. And here's the context.

    You keep endlessly raising these alarmist paranoid talking points, then never ever explaining what the conspiracy is behind them.

    No we aren't. We are dealing with a pandemic that doesn't care about people's political or religious or whatever beliefs, it just spreads, and we have to take corresponding measures to deal with it.

    And right on cue, conspiracy theorists and crank magnets are going mental because they perpetually believe the government is about to enslave us all, or kill us with 5G, or barcode us for reasons they can never explain.

    Hang on, I thought the whole issue was that people were being forced to use some app to scan a QR code, or else be denied service in a shop.

    Why then would somebody be scanning random QR codes on closed or vacant shops?

    (Also you do realise they're effectively just barcodes but with greater capacity? They're just encoded text. Any of the potential nefarious misuses in the image you linked rely on an app interpreting that text. Plus that company seems to actually sells mobile authentication systems which use QR codes).

    This is the case, and there are already various reports of this occuring, it's a small minority currently, but it does seem to be starting to occur. Most likely will increase as this becomes a more permanent measure.
    MOH wrote: »

    Marketing, advertising, offers too good to miss etc.

    The introduction of QRCodes introduces a new popular vector for hackers.
    It's really not that different from the whole TXT/SMS scans that occur, but is more sophisticated.

    QRC are not 'just barcodes' (only simpletons think this), fact is these scans can contain various data queries, data strings, variables etc - to edit, create, or modify data on users smartphones (see above image).

    If you're using within the confines of a locked down app, fine.
    If however you're using the standard phone camera to parase the code, then (see above image) on the security risks.

    This is again a very technically ignorant and misinformed view.
    A simple scan using any defualt iOS/And phone camera can create and perform various funcitons.
    Sorry I'm a bit confused, is this a new requirement in the UK that's being discussed?
    This was introduced as law last Thur (Eng only, so far).
    i.e. Designated venues must display QRCode posters at their entrance for track n' trace, yes, you can use pen and paper alternatives, but a venue reserves the right to refuse entry, if there is an issue with manual data capture (staffing, time, out of ink, out of paper etc), and if you then refuse the alternative: to start scanning the QRCode poster: no service.

    Other regions around the world have already introducted the concept of no QR, no entry. Will likely increase in popularity (process efficiency).

    There has also been incidences of shops refusing cash, again for 'operational' reasons e.g. low staffing, citing the pandemic, or simply it takes more time to complete transactions.
    Perhaps this could be viewed as 'digital apartheid'.

    Lol.

    It's because there's a pandemic. Likewise, shops are not taking cash because the virus can be passed on notes and coins. You keep trying to imbue these normal responses to the virus with "evil" "nefarious" stuff, then sitting on the fence whenever you are asked to explain what that nefarious stuff is. It's hilarious.

    Clearly. but it does present a very clear push towards a cashless society.
    One that is unlikely to ever be reversed (cost effective for business, to de-personalise services).

    Now also, thanks to QRCs (easily subject to attagging*) starting to appear at the entrances to many an establishment, it's a dumb (old Nokia etc) phone-less society too.
    * A QR with an 'URL data type' may host JavaScript code, which can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in applications on the host system, such as the reader, the web browser or the image viewer, since a reader will typically send the data to the application associated with the data type used by the QR code.

    In the case of no software exploits, malicious QR codes combined with a permissive reader can still put a computer's contents and user's privacy at risk. This practice is known as "attack tagging". They are easily created and can be affixed over legitimate QR codes (mono print out). On a smartphone, the reader's permissions may allow use of the camera, full Internet access, read/write contact data, GPS, read browser history, read/write local storage, and global system changes.

    Risks include linking to dangerous web sites with browser exploits, enabling the microphone/camera/GPS, and then streaming those feeds to a remote server, analysis of sensitive data (passwords, files, contacts, transactions), and sending email/SMS/IM messages or DDOS packets as part of a botnet, corrupting privacy settings, stealing identity,[90] and even containing malicious logic themselves such as JavaScript or a virus. These actions could occur in the background while the user is only seeing the reader opening a seemingly harmless web page. In Russ, a malicious QR code caused phones that scanned it to send premium texts at a fee of US$6 each.

    Meanwhile the folks down in Aus (always a few years ahead of the West) are rolling out the cashless {80%} welfare card. The 'blocked merchants' will of course include the local bottle shop, cigs, casinos, ATM's and anything else the downtrodden are told they can't have.

    Time to bin the old (reliable, bug free) nokia phone, and surrender cash.
    All fine for the young tech swavy of us, the old folks however will struggle in this new near-permanent measure on the way.

    No it doesn't. As explained, due to the pandemic, shops don't like handling cash and coins.

    Also people are paying more with digital methods because it's generally easier and more convenient.

    Again you are trying to insert a vague sinister narrative where there is none, look up any of the old cashless conspiracy threads and you'll find plenty of "mark of the beast" bible prophecy types. That's the only connection you should be making.

    Don't like, is different from 'Won't accept, and denial of service' (potentially for: both entry, and for transaction).
    Staff also manually handle all goods that are brought to the counter, some staff will even load the shopping bag with handled goods.

    As we know already covid will survive much longer on typical shop shelve products and touch points, that it will do on change with any brass or copper alloy based coinage content (euro coins).
    Indeed a simple sprinle of salt in your pocket of coinage will render the virus envelope redundant in most cases upon simple rub or contact.
    It's also much easier to clean small coinage or notes, that some 750gms pack of cornflakes, with multiple large surface touch points.

    As the (thread title) suggests: both cashlessness, and the very new push of QRCodes are both measures (among many other) that are likely to become a permanent feature of daily lives.

    We call on politicians to be independently and critically informed in the decision-making process and in the compulsory implementation of corona-measures. We ask for an open debate, where all experts are represented without any form of censorship.

    After the initial panic surrounding covid-19, the objective facts now show a completely different picture – there is no medical justification for any emergency policy anymore.

    The current crisis management has become totally disproportionate and causes more damage than it does any good.

    We call for an end to all measures and ask for an immediate restoration of our normal democratic governance and legal structures and of all our civil liberties.

    ‘A cure must not be worse than the problem’ is a thesis that is more relevant than ever in the current situation. We note, however, that the collateral damage now being caused to the population will have a greater impact in the short and long term on all sections of the population than the number of people now being safeguarded from corona.

    In our opinion, the current corona measures and the strict penalties for non-compliance with them are contrary to the values formulated by the Belgian Supreme Health Council, which, until recently, as the health authority, has always ensured quality medicine in our country: “Science – Expertise – Quality – Impartiality – Independence – Transparency”.

    We believe that the policy has introduced mandatory measures that are not sufficiently scientifically based, unilaterally directed, and that there is not enough space in the media for an open debate in which different views and opinions are heard.

    Yes it takes massive courage in the modern age to stand up to the power of the state/media establishment. In Ireland Tracey O'Mahoney is now facing the inevitable legal inquiry, Dr Marcus de Brun the inevitable medical inquiry, Dr Martin Feeley they already got sacked only a few days after he questioned the narrative, and they got Professor Dolores Cahill sacked from her government and EU advisory roles etc etc.

    What Irish journalists or opposition politicians have questioned the narrative here, who among them is saying what I and others are saying here? None obviously, and since there are well nigh a thousand of them why do you think they all speak with one voice on this? To say that is some accident is to defy statistics and the law of probabilty, that they value their careers might be closer to the truth.

    I would just hope, and I think have a right to expect, that journalists and politicians would stand up for peoples right to travel around Ireland, to work, to meet friends in pubs and at home, and not be compelled to wear some article that restricts their breathing, etc. I don't think that is too much to expect, and the fact that they are so silent on this is indeed sinister.

    Seriously dohnjoe, what point do you have to reach before you realise you're being scammed? The entire nature of reality is being altered in front of your eyes and you think anyone who questions it is mental. Society and the economy are being purposely collapsed-that is happening; how can you claim otherwise?
    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say certain groups and individuals have vastly overplayed their hands and we're going to see some of the most well known names in the country in handcuffs before Christmas. The army and gardaí and some senior politicians not involved are going to have to form some kind of emergency administration to reassert the primacy of the state before this descends into utter chaos.

    Okay, can you please explain exactly what's going to happen and why? (with evidence), thanks

    One (more) permanent type change is that many of the lower skilled 'basic grunt' workers, or indeed non technical/professional 'philosophical type' degree graduates, might never work again.

    In the uk, Mr Johnson added a “huge number” of the existing workforce would 'need to': “change jobs and to change skills” in coming years.
    He's pushing for digital “boot camps” (taxpayer funded of course), to push uneducated or wrongly educated, into the correct direction.
    One thing is for certain, is that taxes for the average earner will be up and up to pay out for all the lockdown pavlova.

    Again, all part and parcel of The Big Reset'.

    What's the "big reset", oh yes, your predictably vague ramblings about something that may or may not happen in the future, perhaps, maybe, who knows :)

    Doh!
    For a start the twin summit (Davos/WEF) of 2021.
    Well a trilateral event, if you include the closed-door Bilderberg type meetups.

    Essentially a socio-ecomomic, envromental and politcal global reset of sorts, all rather handily, on the back of COVID.
    Hold on to your hats, and sharpen your pencils.

    .
    Hold on to your hard, and sharpen your pencils.
    Why?
    What's going to happen?
    When?

    You're just spouting more vague fearmongering.

    More subjective techno-babble. You've also claimed that Irish doctors are going to secretly "mark" us with something if/when we go for a Covid vaccine, yet when pressed for actual, you know, evidence or details you can't provide any

    I understand you're very 'non-technical', however the Global Reset is the actual name, of the two official 'global summits' next year, why so hard to process this simple peice of information?

    Non-subjective quotes from (their) own 'official' PR statement:
    “COVID-19 has accelerated our transition into the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
    “A Great Reset is necessary to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being,”
    In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model and put people and planet at the heart of global value creation
    We have to restore a functioning system of smart global cooperation structured to address the challenges of the next 50 years.
    We need a change of mindset, moving from short-term to long-term thinking, moving from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder responsibility. Environmental, social and good governance have to be a measured part of corporate and governmental accountability
    ...a global multistakeholder summit driven by the younger generation to ensure that the Great Reset dialogue pushes beyond the boundaries of traditional thinking and is truly forward-oriented.

    Prepare to be reset: socially, environmentally, economically and through smart global governance.

    I know what it is.

    You're trying to pretend it's something else, but are deliberately vague about what that "something" else is. You hide your personal brand of fiction behind constant innuendo and hints of something nefarious that you never detail.

    A bit like the way you keep suggesting that doctors will be doing "something" secret to us with a Covid vaccine, but never properly explaining what that "thing" is. The reason why you can't explain it is because it's bull****, plain and simple.

    That's what's being attempted but the good news is that the perpetrators are such detached vain megalomaniacs that they don't have the slightest notion how doomed to failure they are. All systems of control collapse eventually; those constructed on fear and lies like this one end suddenly and bloodily. This is one of the best few minutes in TV history-pay particular attention to Curtis's voiceover at the start. The human spirit is indomitable; everyone just keep the faith a little longer.
