       By the end of the decade, retailers plan to have the traditional barcode phased out in favor of a new 2D version that can pack in more data. But what does that mean for consumers?https://hackaday.com/2023/05/03/barcodes-enter-the-matrix-in-2027/

       @hackaday do they need more data? Or do they need to just print it bigger, on more sides, to make scanning* easier? Aldi's own merch is about the only stuff I see where they dare go beyond the minimal stamp size.*it's mostly self-scanning now. And we're getting sick of hunting for the scancode.

       @hackaday I hope they print/scan small otherwise I'm going to need bigger labels and then bigger bags to put the bigger labels on...
