Simon, I love that you say “I really should read these beforehand” but you don’t. It makes them just more entertaining my dude! So don’t you dare read one beforehand!
:)
Agreed
Come on! I cannot be the only curious one that just got Rick Rolled....😂 0:49
Nope it was the first one I scanned too I was thinking is this going to go to his UA-cam channel bonus points if it linked to this UA-cam video or some random UA-cam video. once I saw UA-cam in the pop up I was like this could be anything and as the app loaded I was thinking it could have easily been..... oh and it is Rick Rolled.
I still find them incredibly interesting when I find them you just never know what's on the other side.
I actually called it when i saw the code, but i went with it anyway 😂
Brian McKinley same
I've never been rick rolled. I don't even know what that means, and I don't want to know. Not a boomer. 37 peeps, I was born a crabby old man.
I did too 😅
We gotta get Biographics to do an episode on this Danny guy.
@Randy Lawson Third
@@Kaiticle fourth it
indeed would hold for quite an interesting video
Danny is God and Simon is his messenger😂
I'd like a QR code on my tombstone. It would bring up a page that says, "You didn't care about what I did while I was alive, why bother trying to find out now!!!!" 🤣🤣
Or, as the master has been teaching us, just rickroll them.
Pretty sure you could just fit that message into a QR code
@@battlesheep2552, nope. Need to hyperlink it to a webpage to be maintained ad infinitum.
@@XDarkGreyX I thought the same thing
@@---cr8nw As far as I know, you can store text information in QR codes. The links are just text, too. So why not? I've seen a video where someone wrote a very barebones Snake-game into a QR-code... storing a sentence in one is nothing after that.
I'm waiting for Danny to put into a script: "Simon probably already said this before reading". I just hope he does it when I'm not at work and I bust out laughing. I still love the format of the show, even if Simon is likely driving Danny nuts, great job guys!
As for the codes, I don't really see them in use here in Barbados, although I do see them on imported items and some local printed ads
The day that happens will probably be the day I wake up both of my roommates with my cackling laughter and I will have no apologies to make for it. xD
Hahahaha can't wait
Looks like Dany reads the comments lol
Funny enough I did some research into them as part of my BSc dissertation back in 2012. I was looking at how technology might help the Derwent valley mills, part of the research was Into qr codes.
One of the musuems in the region (Mason Mill) had recently removed all their signage because they wanted it to look like a real active working mill. Instead they had all their information on their website. So all over the museum you'd see little cards With an M on them to indicate that that there was more information about the item it was located on. I suggested to the guy who runs it that they use QR codes and put in my thesis. Last year I went there for the first time since, and there were QR codes where the Ms were. Kinda made me smile.
Thank you for your contributions
Surely if the place is plastered with QR codes then it now looks less like a historically accurate working mill (assuming this is a historical mill, or a recreation of one, and not a modern one).
I also think that if everyone is going to be getting the information on their phones then using the same technology as contactless cards and the likes of apple pay would be possible instead of QR codes. I think customers could just hold their phone near the thing they wish to find out about (or near a specifically designed fence/barrier design feature) and an emebedded chip (like in a contactless card) could either directly impart the information, or could communicate the URL in the same way a QR code does. But then the chip would cost more than printing a few black squares on white paper, so it depends on budget (and the technology itself being available for this, which it may not have been in 2012), but it means that the chips can be hidden underneath the surface of seemingly authentic objects in the mill, rather than putting visibly incongruous QR codes on. Then again the visitor's phone itself is still incongruous too I guess, but by that token so is the person themselves, so I guess the phone doesn't matter.
@@MrDannyDetail to be fair there weren't loads of them, just a some on particular bits of machinery. I get what you mean though, personally I'd rather just have some signage.
That is pretty awesome! It would be cool if more museums had QR codes that linked to additional information on stuff. For instance, if in your mill, the code led to a video of the machinery in use or talked about innovations. It would also be cool to replace "guided audio tours" with QR codes so you could use your own device instead of a rental (ewww) headset.
My lawnmower has a QR code on the engine that leads to a pdf of the user's manual.
That's actually a good idea
@@mgelliott86 Yep
That's cool.
See, but this is actually useful and a great idea. This is how CR codes should be used.
That actually sounds like an ideal use for them.

I remember when QR codes started, to this day I have never once scanned one.
i been using it only for whatsapp web access
@@janijokela I've used it for that as well only other thing I remember using it for was when installing my first set of smart light bulbs. Course in the latter case I knew going into it that I would need the phone for the setup so when you are sat there with the phone in one hand and the instruction manual in the other might as well just point the former at the latter than transpose the name of the app manually.
I never have either but I don't know how. It occurs to me I could Google it.
@@sarasmr4278 that's what I do when I want to know about something. That's where the QR code seems pointless to me I can just Google the brand/ product rather than taking time to scan your QR code on your Packaging or wherever else.
@@sarasmr4278 Well for most QR codes you generally merely need to open your camera app and point the camera at it with a modern smartphone, the camera app looks for them at the same time it does normal subject detection for autofocus etc. Whatsapp is a bit different as it is used due to a quirk of the security model whatsapp uses in which the central server does not have your messages and never sees them in plain text as all encryption and decryption is done by the phone app for each user so the phone has to act as the server for the PC and the scanning of the QR code with the app is used to authorise your PC to connect. The alternative would require typing in a rather long 256 character encryption key by hand which would be an impractical nightmare.
4:20 Well, they could have had a map picture WITH a smaller QR code underneath it or something...
4:20 The cause, outcome, and solution all rolled into one.
Never gonna to give you up Simon,
You're never gonna let me down....
Not with things like the QR code
There was too much mystery for me to not scan it. Breaking news at 11 individual gets virus from scanner.....
Well done sir. I'd not been Rick-rolled this decade yet!
you are welcome
I never paid attention to the QR Code or anything that is interactive. I like to keep my internet browsing simple. UA-cam and PornHub.
Which site you're visiting just depends on which hand your phone is in?
Thank you for your contributions, both to the american nation and the meme nation, Mr Clinton
god bless mr clinton
There is almost no way to tell if one is legit or not. Scanning one could royally **** up your search history.
@@aando5269 fine xhamster you swine.
I love Business Blaze! Simon is so funny on this channel. I like all of your channels, but this is my favorite. Plus learning something new is always a good thing. "But Edgar my feet" I still get a good laugh from that one, I'm sure people with trench foot disagree lol. I just randomly say this out loud and people look at me like I'm crazy, "whose Edgar"? LMAO
I say's to myself, "that QR code better Rick Roll me..." once again, Simon doesn't disappoint..
10:24 'Too busy to talk - scan this QR' in the retailer translates to 'we've fired most customer service workers and kept the prices the same...'
it wasn't supposed to be about helping the customer - might have been a massive win for the boardroom bonus monkeys though.
Think about it - the motivation for installing self service tills in tesco isn't because tesco thought customers would prefer to scan their own groceries really slowly while being berated by a robo-voice.
“The bottom ladies”. 😁 Simon’s a legend. I love how he’s made a living making informative videos teaching people interesting things they didn’t know before and on these he’s just like, “Pfft, whatever”
:D
"Sponge pan scrubbers"? In the human world we call them "dish sponges."
That's SpongeBob SquarePants' distant cousin
His annoyingly asswholic cousin from Tarpon Springs, FL.
Oh yeah im sure thats what every non english speaking person on the planet calls them as well. The amount of petty youtube comments I see blows me away lol like slow down no ones gettin laid off of grammar checks pal.
@@Philofasus You seem to have mistaken a joke for something petty. Good luck with living amongst humans!
Nah. I would imagine that the majority of people, in the UK (where Simon is from) at least, would call them 'Brillo Pads' even if they are not the branded ones, and I wouldn't be at all suprised if the phrase 'Brillo pads' was actually in the script and Simon was trying to rephrase around it rather than give them a free advert.
Don't think I've heard anyone ever call them 'dish sponges' anyway, but could be a regional thing I guess.
Business Blaze straight up low key crept its way into the top of my favourite subscriptions lol
Glad to hear that :)
Same... and I love it 😍😅
Enjoy the topics y'all choose, but REALLY enjoy how Simon reads and reacts to the "scripts" Danny writes. Keep up the great work!!
I wasn't able to pay to much attention to the visuals, I was cleaning my bathtub but the qr on the train made me think of a friend of mine that repairs industrial machinery. He gets to device that is tagged out, scans what he says is a qr acknowledges that it is the correct machine then works on it. When finished or taking a break scans the code again and selects whatever is the reason then moves on. At least some of those might not be there for regular people just for the employees
That is pretty close to what the QR codes originally was for - it is from the car manufacturing industry to make (semi-)automated inventory easier.
(On lots of industrial equipment you find QR-codes for this very reason)
yup. I maintain a product that does the same. We use barcodes but that's because the software predates QR codes.
I've in the past written software for emergency services that uses QR codes. People could order a tag (for say a key fob) with a QR code loaded with their medical condition, medication history, etc..
First responder could scan the QR code and near instantly know whether a victim has allergies, a history of heart disease, etc..
Can we just rename this channel "Danny Daily" already? 😂
Business Blaze!!
This channel has the perfect chemistry of humour, relatability to the presenter, valuable information, and entertainment.
Simon hit a winner with this channel!
I like how Danny is just... "Danny." Epic!
He only needs one name. Like Prince.
Last year, my concert band decided to post program notes with details about the music and composer online with a QR code rather than either wasting paper printing a huge program or wasting everyone's time with the conductor explaining the piece (with only 1/3 of the audience caring about why the composer wrote the song). Here in America QR codes have only really taken off over the past 5 years, and our audience tends to be older, so we had to write an explanation of how to use the code with their phone. It was quite a success, our audience appreciated learning about the music more, and the older folks liked that someone finally explained what these weird symbols they've been seeing popping up everywhere were about and how to scan them.
Fun side note: I only recently realized that a QR code scanner app on my phone from 10 years ago was still there, transferred from phone to phone to phone. Rather than deleting it, I kept it on for laughs.
Simon, what happens if we scan the QR code on the side of your head? Do we get bonus footage of inside your mind or something? 😂
It's my neural link activator.
Oh no, Simon is a real life Agent 47.

I love QR codes. They are simply a way of making machine readable text. At a previous job I used barcode scanners that also happened to be able to read QR codes. When I got tired of constantly typing "b" in to navigate to the right screen, I created the QR code for "b" and printed it out so I could just scan the code instead of fumbling on the keyboard.
When I was in high school there was a time when everyone was required to fill out an online form that you accessed via qr code in order to go to the bathroom, it was an extremely unpopular policy.
Wtf
@@brainblaze6526 exactly what just about everybody thought.
@drew pedersen be pretty hard to not get caught doing that.
Meanwhile, every other school's policy was "if we see your phone, it's our phone now", so by comparison you didn't do too badly.
@@teh-maxh we didn't use phones for this there were separate devices used, you still wouldn't want a phone out.
“Warning: thieves are everywhere, there’s probably one standing next to you right now.”
…*turns head and looks at my cat with deep suspicion.
And it’s all thanks to Toyota not even attempting to enforce their patent for the 3D barcode format they developed for internal inventory tracking! (Aka QR code’s) And everyone else realizing it!
In fact there are 3D barcodes out there that have the potential to hold way more data than QR code’s made by company’s like microsoft but they have licensing fees attached to them that I’m fairly certain no one wants to pay.
It just goes to show you if you develop a cool technology and someone else develops a “eh it’s good enough technology” and theirs is free, the free one will probably win!
But I though QR codes are 2D.. 3D?
@Jukka-Pekka Tuominen
Well all “3D” barcodes are technically 2D drawings but we call them 3D because... I don’t know why do we call red red.
@@stareagle5000 That seems a bit weird. As I have never (never, never) heard anyone call QR codes 3-dimensional. And when you think of it they are pretty 2 dimensional at least as a function. And if for instant you look at the QR-code wikipedia page it calls them "2 dimensional".
So who are this "we" you speak of?
@@jukka-pekkatuominen4540 recently watched a show about it on NHK World channel, where they discussed the development of the QR code, and I'm pretty sure the developer even called it 3D, even though it's not what we think of as 3D. I think it meant that readers picked up the white spaces, the black spaces, and the combined image, but IDK. I remember thinking it was crazy since it was flat no matter what way you looked at it.
@@epowell4211 Do you have a link to this discussion?
QR codes are used really frequently at my university here in the UK actually! They are trying to not waste so much paper and as we all have smartphones now our lecturers put up QR codes on the board that link to articles, super helpful and quick!
"Drinks are twice the price between 6 and 8" lol
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRICKROLLED!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
"Who ever peels the bottle off to look at the QR code behind?"
Excellent turn of phrase, that.

I work at a hospital and in order to come in during this COVID-19 craziness we have to have our temperature taken and then fill out a questionnaire. They have a QR code on all the time clocks so you can, if you made it past the thermometer wielding door guards, clock in and then fill out the questionnaire on the way to your department.
"This one... You're gonna die"
Darwinism at its finest example, though!
brilliant opportunity to rick roll everyone who whipped out their phones to scan the QR code in the video.
“It’s probably not pronounced river plate”
Yes, yes it is
Came here to say this. (And also that they do speak Spanish in Argentina)
How else would you pronounce it? Ree-vare plah-tay? That's not good!
The sheer lunacy of these examples, and Simon's reactions just got them another subscriber🤣
Last time I was this early Simon still had hair 😂😜
0:51
if you've never scanned a QR code, try this one!
Just pull out your phone and open the camera app. Focus on the code and your phone should recognize it and provide you with a link to a lovely tune.
Who else scanned the code at 0:49? Well played, good sir.
I did. And I absolutely guessed what was on the other end of the link :D
He was never going to give up that opportunity...
The editor must be a true man of culture.
I work for a bank in Australia. We have a function available on ATM’s for business customers to scan a QR code and the machine allows them to deposit to a specified account. It’s really handy for small businesses who need to send a random worker to deposit their day’s takings outside of business hours; usually they either print the QR code and hand it to the staff member, or they can even scan a picture of the QR code if they have it saved on their smart phone. We used to have an on the spot QR generator to allow person to person transfers, but it wasn’t at all popular and PayID and Osko took its place.
😭 Simon makes Greta cry 😭
I love watching this channel evolve

You just scan it when walking past the trucks lined up at the fuel pumps.
@@jorceshaman true but I mostly see them going down the road

Yeah, walking around a parked truck whether at a truck stop, rest area or somewhere else is not the most brilliant idea. If you are truly interested in working for a company, talking to the driver might be way more useful to get an idea of what to expect.

Dear Danny and Simon, Apple didn't revolutionize QR codes; the first major smartphone manufacturer to introduce that feature was none other than Samsung. They introduced it in their camera app as part of Bixbi with the release of the Galaxy S8 in March 2017, a whole 3 months before iOS 11 was even announced. You had tens of millions of Android users scanning QR codes with their camera app before many iOS users even knew how to scan one. Various other Android phones have had this feature before, and many android Camera apps (not dedicated barcode reading apps) have actually also had it for years prior. The only ideas Apple doesn't steal and then take credit for are the really aweful marketing ones, like removing the universily praised 3.5mm headphone jack to see more crappy bluetooth earbuds.
How dare you, Mr. Whistler!

Best QR code ever: a tattoo that leads to a Rickroll
Discord has an issue with qr codes... Simon what you doing?
Print out a ton of Qr codes and put them up everywhere around the city, with each one directing the user to Rick Astley's greatest hit!
Next level trolling
Fast forward to July, and nearly every restaurant I visit, rather than printing stacks of one-use menus, have QR codes to scan instead.
0:50 Nice QR Code. You got me!
In the late '90s there used to be a kids game called (I believe) barcode warriors. You scanned bar codes to gain some sort of power which you battle your friends with. If I recall correctly this lead to some Japanese soup being sold out as kids bought it for the huge power up
0:38 I've never heard of QR Code. I've only heard them referred to as the "spam tag", "spam box", or "spam mark".
I think a video on the Watergate scandal would be cool, not really business related, but I think it fits this channel.
I used to for a company that made extremely sophisticated sorting equipment. The machines would create QR codes for products that would include their batch numbers, quantity, etc. It was useless to the average person scanning it but was invaluable to the company that used it for their products. Help prevent fake medicine being distributed, ensured the right product was in the right package and was going to the right place when shipped.
Just a different use of them from the norm. You'll see these on the bottom or sides of boxes or bottles.
QR codes are also a common thing in ARGs. For some reason, they're a lot more fun in ARGs. They're quick and easy to scan, they can hold various types of information, and they can be hidden anywhere.
Danny is a prophet. 'QR codes about to make a big comeback' Welcome to late 2021.
QR codes were first introduced in 1994 for the Japanese automotive industry. They've been around a lot longer than most realize. Hospitals have started making use of them as well for patient ID bracelets.
And they're a hell of a lot easier to use than a competing barcode format that thankfully didn't last long (all of a year): the :CueCat! I think I still have my :CueCat device somewhere.
I Love how I get stoned and watch the random videos on this channel. Great job Danny and Simon🤘
Thanks! :)
GM now uses QR codes on a label by the driver's door for RPO codes or regular production options. They also have them on parts like fuel injectors. So we can scan the fuel rate and enter them into the ECM. Which is very helpful to a mechanic. I have also been noticing them on soda bottles with ones that will get you paid money.
We used them to track parts where I use to work. Laser etched into an aluminum bodies and instead of using a smartphone a 3D barcode scanner was used. It was actually really useful, the format has a use but maybe not what it was originally intended for.
I love this channel because it's just Simon having a good time and a good laugh. It doesn't seem as scripted. I like this style
QR codes are primarily used to manage inventory, for the convenience of manufacturers, warehouses, and transportation systems. QR codes are useful because they help solve the data compression problems with bar codes. Essentially they are three dimensional bar codes that likewise encode a series of numbers whose value are assigned to particular characteristics of the product in question. This makes it much easier for complex industrial systems, particularly machine systems, to transfer materials, parts, and finished goods from place to place quickly and accurately. Any utility they may have to the end user has been a derivative consequence. The marketing people are constantly searching for new angles to sell things, and so it wasn't long before poorly conceived, post design uses for QR codes started popping up everywhere advertising money is wasted. Eventually marketing departments figured out how to use QR codes to convey information useful to consumers. However they also unsolved the data compression problem by reintroducing it. Thus leaving the IT sections of industrial engineering firms everywhere to design more detailed QR codes. and work to develop their eventual replacement. And so the cycle of industrial advancement continues.
Someone may have already explained this, but I'm not going to read 800+ comments to find out. Concerning the River Plate: In Spanish, "Río de la plata", meaning "River of silver". If it was really a plate, it would be, "Río del plato"...and yes, it sounds just as dumb in Spanish as it does in English. In South America, Portuguese is only spoken in Brazil. All other countries in the continent are Spanish-speaking.
And please don't take this the wrong way...as a fluent Spanish speaker, I had a good laugh when I heard you talking about the River plate. I watch all your channels and love them. Keep up the good work!
Dear Simon, the only country in South America that speaks Portuguese is Brazil. Not all the rest speak Spanish but it's a safe guess to say they do since most of them do. Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, all of them speak Spanish. As a Brazilian, I have to say, I'm pleased you want more countries to speak my language lol
QR codes have other formats than just the web link variety. and even that type can be used to store other information. Kodak's subsidiary Creo had a high quality proofing printer and every sheet had a QR code in the corner which the printer would read to determine how many times the sheet had been printed onto, and what portion of the sheet could still be used to print on so you could print on the same sheet multiple times, and actually use up the expensive printer paper.
Warehouses use a smaller version of QR codes to identify inventory on pallets, and even where in the building the shelf is.
I don't know if anyone has thought to do it yet, but QR codes could be used to store product information like expiration dates, place of origin, and so forth... I think the standard version can store as many characters as will fit in a Twitter post, but it's expandable too... as long as you have a device that can read the expanded format, I've seen a version of it that is 4 QR codes together though I forget where (shipping labels possibly? FeEx has a proprietary version code that is similar but with vertical bars at the ends, but there's another that has the box shape )
I know I'm late to the party. QR Codes were designed for inventory tracking in Japan in the 90s be Denso. The codes on the things like the raisins are for computer inventory tracking, not for the Internet. Likewise, the QR code on the website, it downloaded a now contact to your phone, without you having to type it in. A lot of business cards also had them for that purpose, they didn't take you to a website, they added the card owners details to your address book.
QR Codes are versatile and don't all link to websites. You can use them for automatically logging a smartphone into the Wi-Fi network, for example, for tracking products through production and the warehouse. They are used by logistics companies and, in Germany, they are used on letters etc. to help the post office (Die Post) to sort and accurately distribute the mail to the correct location.
A vast majority of QR codes have nothing to do with the Internet or websites, just that marketing people found out that you can use them to encode a URL as well as many other things.
Best qr fail was a fan of Argentinan football club, River Plate beat their bitter rivals in the final of South America’s biggest footballing competition. He got a tattoo of the highlights on his body and went viral. Rival fans reported the UA-cam video and it got taken down.
Fun Fact: There's a Pokémon game (I believe one of the Mystery Dungeon spinoffs) that uses scanning QR codes (and for a different Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, round objects) to open up bonus mystery dungeons to explore. These ones have rarer Pokémon and more valuable items, but a higher difficulty level.
I have never scanned a QR code outside of that game. But I love how innovative it is that I can scan QR codes which are literally everywhere for what amounts to free DLC
Very interesting and amusing. But as an old woman, I'm still nostalgic for the excitement of the launch of Semapedia, in particular of its African version conceived as a code learning project by Guido Sohne...
I actually scan QR codes from my PC to my phone all the time. Granted, they're ones I have an addon to generate specifically to quickly pull them up on my phone and not embedded in the page for no good reason but as long as it'll click-through to the destination I see no major issue.
Had to scan a QR code to enter a pub recently.
I'm not the type to go out much, even before this new decade, so having to scan a QR code to enter was a new thing for me.
The QR code on the contact page was brilliant. Like Simon said, it added the contact to your phone, saving him from having to manually enter all the info in.
Only two things will survive the nuclear apocalypse - cockroaches and QR codes.
QR codes are on all the electric scooters and bikes here in Merica! Lol
Oh shit, that's true! Same over here.
They are far more common in the US since I came back from Britain. In Washington DC, the "Parking Panda" app allows me to pre pay my parking and they send me a QR code. At the parking garage, there is usually a QR code reader that allows you to get in an out. Where there isn't a reader, you can simply draw a ticket and "pay" for the ticket at a kiosk. The movie ticket app, Fandango, allows you to have a digital ticket you can show the ticketing agent or to retrieve an actual physical ticket from a kiosk using the QR code. I buy 100% of my movie tickets this way.
How about a video on companies trying to avoid tax and getting fined?
Good idea, but when they succeed you don't know about it ;)
We have faith in you Danny!
I love the notion of using QR codes as sticker links in physical locations to show people something about that location
A "cheeky" bet Simon, how did you miss that one
Ba da bum bum tschhhh
This man really Rick rolled us. I feel like an idiot to have fallen for it.
Well fastforward to mid 2020, and QR codes are everywhere.
The upper mountain landscaping one was actually really clever, i can now contact them from my phone after scanning the code off a website on my laptop, as i would if i had a problem/project and needed to contact them
