    They can contain binary data, but less of it. Not sure of the details, but you get 3k bytes if binary data or 4.2k alphanumeric letters. So no big difference all in all, which is a bit silly.

    Also, many QR scanners can’t handle binary data and freak out on null values or newlines.

    We must consider the practical side of installing Windows 11 from a semitrailer load of cardboard.

    Using 1,454,942 maximum size and minimum error correction QR codes in alphanumeric mode (byte mode is a lie) to store Base64-encoded binary data, you get roughly 4,687,823,124 bytes. 4.6 GB. If the cards are two-sided we get 9.2 GB.

    Minimum size of Windows 11 installer image seems to be 8 GB, so it checks out!







  • The “Pediverse” refers to federated websites that cater to M/YAPs (Attracted to Minors), AAMs and their allies.

    Pediverse" is a portmanteau of “pedo(phile)” and “fediverse”, the former being the chronophilia for attraction to prepubescent youth

    I don’t understand how that explains it in a “ok it’s fine” way?
