Good. Never liked them QR codes and I knew there would be something to come along that would be better.

That's what happens when you try to shoehorn something invented for the motor trade into wider technological use.

Can't say I've ever tried that but I'll take your word for it.

I love these high-brow conversations

I thought Rectennas were the product of trying to shoehorn a ten pound note up your arse.... Say for example when you may require a filthy ten pound note at some unpredictable time the near future but not normally longer than 12-14 hours depending on your diet

The next time I am on a crowded train I am going to get out my phone, pretend to call someone and loudly say, "Hey Ramirez, it's me." pause "Miami, was Miami. You know what it's like" pause "So, have you seen, rectennas killed the QR code star" fake laugh "Owa-owa indeed" pause "Got to go, see you in LA" fake laugh "Not those Playboy girls again!". Then I shall carry on collecting tickets. People will think I'm dead cool.
