How to build an Ionic Barcode Scanner with Capacitor
The biggest difference between the two plugins is the SDK used to recognise the barcodes. The Capacitor Community Barcode Scanner plugin currently uses the ZXing decoder and the Capacitor ML Kit Barcode Scanning plugin uses the ML Kit from Google.

Does anyone have scanning a QR code from a webcam to a text field in an Access form working and be willing to share the source? Thanks
This is using Excel, but it is still VBA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIFjw8z__dI they're utilizing a third-party library called ZXing which is available on GitHub https://github.com/zxing/zxing

How to decode a QR-code image in (preferably pure) Python?

This German case, where the police have used covid tracking data to identify potential witnesses, shows exactly why strong data protections for covid tracking data should exist in NZ. https://www.dw.com/en/german-police-under-fire-for-misuse-of-covid-contact-tracing-app/a-60393597
Also, the app which is open source, stores its data on your phone and under your control: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-resources-and-tools/nz-covid-tracer-app/privacy-and-security-nz-covid-tracer

found out that if you scan the qr code on the "I (qr code) NZ" thing it shows a bunch of yellow hearts on the app
The code for this easter egg can be found here on GitHub.

Fake COVID app
It won't be hard to build something that looks like the official one, since the source code is public. It might be a violation of the copyright on the sourcecode that he can be pinched down on. They put it under the GNU, and the way I read that licence it says you can use it to do whatever you want.

Mechanical sympathy for QR codes: making NSW check-in better
Really interesting write-up! New Zealand COVID Tracer app QR codes are actually pretty similar. We don't use URLs, but we do use a base64 encoded JSON prefixed with the "NZCOVIDTRACER" string.
NZ Covid Tracer App is actually open source and the QR code reading function can be seen here: https://github.com/minhealthnz/nzcovidtracer-app/blob/main/s...
And here's the type for the JSON we use: https://github.com/minhealthnz/nzcovidtracer-app/blob/main/s...

Raglan Covid-19 case wasn't using Covid tracer app
It does transmit metrics like the number of scans you've made, but nothing identifiable. This is verifiable by reviewing the source code.
