QR codes are everywhere. They’re incredibly functional, connecting our physical and digital worlds with a simple scan. But let's be honest: most of them are an eyesore. The standard black-and-white pixelated square often feels like a necessary evil that disrupts an otherwise beautiful design. The common solution has been to leverage the QR code's built-in error correction to place a logo in the center. While functional, it’s still an overlay—a sticker on top of the data.

Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

There are plenty of reasons to be pessimistic about electric vehicle adoption here in the US. The current administration has made no secret of its hostility toward EVs and, as promised, has ended as many of the existing EV subsidies and vehicle pollution regulations as it could. After more than a year of month-on-month growth, EV sales started to contract, and brands like Genesis and Volvo have seen their customers reject their electric offerings, forcing portfolio rethinks.

Insta360’s New Detachable Action Camera Makes GoPros Look Even More Outdated
