Hi, I have to make a prototype and I would like to have a lock that can be opened when someone scans the QR-code, or something else. So i my head, i see it as a magnetic lock but i dont know what all is possible. However i do not know what product i would need and where to find it. Im open for other solution, but it is important that when opening the lock people have to do an action again (scanning something, pressing on button) So no passcodes that they can use again later. Access is open to anyone, if they do the action (that have to be accessible to everyone)

Excerpt from the linked content based on a Reuters interview:^1

>Alphabet's Google Cloud has accused Microsoft of anti-competitive cloud computing practices and criticised imminent deals with European cloud vendors, saying these do not solve broader concerns about its licensing terms.

>Google Cloud Vice President Amit Zavery urged EU antitrust regulators to take a closer look at the issue.

>Google Cloud's first public comments on Microsoft and its EU deals underscores the rivalry between the two U.S. tech giants in the multi-billion-dollar cloud computing business where Google trails market leader Amazon and second-ranked Microsoft.

>"Microsoft definitely has a very anti-competitive posture in cloud. They are leveraging a lot of their dominance in the on-premise business as well as Office 365 and Windows to tie Azure and the rest of cloud services and make it hard for customers to have a choice," Zavery told Reuters in an interview late on Wednesday.
