Dublin is a small city - I was surprised myself for the first time when I was there I expected it to big european capital. In fact population of Dublin is ~500k and they even market it as "Dublin Town". From the city center most o

Maybe worth to support front camera (TrueDepth camera) as well? Record3d gives pretty good accuracy ( https://record3d.app/ ). I know probably not the best way to scan something without seeing the screen but better that than

Because as other mentioned before its just few lines of code away to allow scanning any pictures that are not synced to any cloud. This just puts foundation for cheap, automatic mass surveillance. Imagine if you were hired to design mass su

Tip: You can connect your phone to you macbook and use build-in preview.app "File -> "import from YOUR_IPHONE_NAME" (however since the last few macos releases preview.app crashes like 50% of time when I'm importing).

Some idea about considering other option as well. Would be great to buy your motherboard (original with some adapter or completely differently designed) that would fit into old macbooks or thinkpads - this way people could reuse case, keybo

Not sure if this is technically possible. However I would like to see in the future, version with AMD APU but replaceable so you can upgrade as well. Amd seems not selling ryzen mobile that is swappable but maybe possible to design motherbo

I'm not worried that much about personal information (that someone will know that someone has been vacinated). I'm more worried that this personal information can allow tracking (politicians, activists, journalists, etc.) in an au

Only gave it a fast look at technical designs and it seems it is still not tracking proof since QR code has: "The person's initials and birth month/day." This should be enough to create a pretty much unique profile ID

Wondering why they haven't licensed it under GPL3.0 so at least other countries would have to also open source their apps if they reused the code. Also if some company reused the code to implement some malicious verifier that do tracki

You would have to share your phone which you are probably less likely. Scanner doesn't need to know who the code was generated for only if this is a legit authorized app - it's easy to check if this is a real app with some challen

I agree this is more hassle but the QR code implementation is only fine if you trust that some EU governments or companies won't try to abuse the system in the future. I'm not saying that this will happen but why not design the sy

Although apps are open source there is a lot of potential that all those information can be missued mainly for tracking: 1) Some other countries or commercial venues using their own version of VERIFIER app (based on open source) that pings

Most people who use this argument forget about the scale and duration of this transformation back then and now. Back in 1800s there were merely ~1 billion people, then in 1900s it was ~1.6 billion. Lets say even if 50% of people back then l
