now this wants me to scan a QR code with a mobile device?

Google reCAPTCHA is a joke.

I’ve got one “scan to unlock” recently too but there was an option to switch to audio captcha at the bottom. I hope it stays this way.

Thank goodness for the ADA.
I’m a bit worried they might try to pull it off in other markets though.
My first attempt to open the archive link took me to a Brazilian radio station that wanted me to install Adobe Flash. Second try worked fine.
Eventual consistency is enough for everybody.
Being redirected to an unknown website by QR code (no visible URL)?

Where is the worst you could end up!
