QR for events, weddings, small business signage, payment links, and Wi-Fi sharing.
In the US, static QR codes have moved from "tech demo" to mainstream after the pandemic — restaurant menus, wedding RSVPs, Square/PayPal payment links, Wi-Fi sharing at Airbnbs. The FBI has flagged QR phishing ("quishing") via IC3, particularly fake parking-meter stickers. These guides show practical builds (vCard, Wi-Fi, payment) and the security checks to make before scanning a QR you didn't generate yourself.
