It's not faster than userspace, it's much slower normally. On special boards with crypto accelerators it can be faster, and there can be compliance reasons to want it.

Who's to say the business that issued the ticket will accept your homemade imitation? with "adjustable styles, images, colors, and text fields"?

Absolutely no one whose job it is to scan barcodes gets paid enough to give a single fuck about how that barcode was created

There's some places like railroads that I've seen care about this so that people don't share tickets (like monthly pass types)

I use Pass4Wallet for several loyalty/gym memberships.

In my experience, if the code scans, the code scans.


It works fine if scanned by a machine though (ticket gate, self checkout etc.)

I've used a third party app for this for a UK weekly pass train ticket you could only buy physically, but if you buy it on a train rather than at a station they can't print you a ticket with a magnetic strip and they have to give you one with a barcode (technically an Aztec code), which you can then scan onto your phone and use at the gate. But I kept the original ticket with me too and would use that if a person asked to inspect it



I can't see any results any more.


Thank you!


To a young enough audience, you will sound like you exclusively use ChatGPT instead.


Howard Oakley has made more effort to understand what macOS is doing (and blog about it) than practically anyone else ever.


I'm sure, this post just came off as confused.


How do you disable Shortcuts?


Many people are experiencing the opposite.

Incredibly, the current mitigation is a cronjob to SIGSTOP it once per minute. https://github.com/jac-jim/stop-mediaanalysisd

Yearslong history of this issue, with it getting harder and harder. https://gist.github.com/huksley/564be2c903312bcee7dffe415d12...



T-Mobile had this issue 5 years or so ago where the IMS core went down due to fiber issues at one of their major backbone providers (pretty sure it was zayo).

As I've said elsewhere, never underestimate Verizon's incompetence. A couple years ago they shut down vtext service which also happened to host their UAprof's for most Android phones. Without a working link to these descriptors, those devices would download any MMS (pre-RCS picture messages) in compatibility mode at the lowest resolution.
