i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.

i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.

the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:

    Something like that. Emulators also give the ability to emulate cameras using pictures or video feeds.

    They just need to set up a Google play equipped emulator, set the picture as simulated camera input and put in the inputs to the emulator (also automatable)
