  • Are you sure you’ve NEVER shared the qr code with anyone? If so, what is it actually for? Because a qr code’s purpose is to be shared. If you’ve ever shared it before, people can have copies of it. I myself take a picture of a qr code and load it from my camera roll instead of directly opening the link from my camera, because I want to keep a copy of it.

    Now if you truly haven’t shared it to anyone, then it is either a bug with whatever app, website, or mechanism you generated the qr code from and it’s alerting you; or it’s an IOS bug; with the former the more likely. Like others have said, this is absolutely not normal behavior on a non-jailbroken iphone. And to Apple’s credit, the iphone is pretty secure. This should be the order of steps before going nuclear:

    • Find out if the source of the issue is the app or mechanism the QR code is using to alert you. Check if it’s a bug or it’s actually a malicious/rogue app.

    • If that’s all good, clean up your phone. Check which apps have access to your camera and microphone, and disable anything you don’t need or trust. Delete apps if necessary.

    • If that still doesn’t stop it, hard reset your phone.











  • I agree with the other comment - root canals aren’t as terrifying as years ago. I had 2 done in the past year and the edodontist was so skilled that I didn’t even feel the anesthesia injection. The entire procedure after that was painless, and there’s literally no pain to deal with afterwards because the nerve is gone. Compare that to when I was a kid in the 90s and it was excruciating.

    • My hobby is indoors (music).
    • Don’t have to spend money just to hang around.

  • Maybe it’s just because I got over my DT phase a long time ago, but this song is nothing new to me. Just the same elements, structure, and style as most of their songs from the past decade and a half. I was expecting something fresh with Portnoy’s return, just like how the first and second (except Sherinian) albums of each of their keyboardists was groundbreaking and refreshing. Of course we have yet to hear the rest of the album, and this is probably generic for the purposes of a single release.

    I get a ton of sales calls especially after attending conferences and I usually ignore calls coming from another state. Some of them realize it though and let a local rep call instead, and I usually pick up because it might be important.
