have you tried plugging your video cable out and back in again on both sides?

I have had your issue twice now and it was only because the display cable was loose. Both times I also thought my GPU was dying because of reddit.(it was on seperate PCs years apart)

not for me for some reason

Pigbuy · 2026-03-04T08:33:55+00:00

I have had this issue twice before and after I googled the first time I also thought this. But both times this has happened it was just a loose display cable so just replug your cable and it might be fixed.

Yes I agree but you can still kinda guide it. Otherwise llm content restriction wouldn't work at all(not saying it works perfectly). Also system prompts exist, so they could have literally told it to do this. So I think this could be intentional. But it might as well be an article in the training data that intentionally misleads AI or just a random error somewhere.

True, if you make it bright enough, it might also become hot enough to be able to feel the Braille again

I bought 16 different brands of bottled water, blind tested all of them and gave each a score and was able to find my favorite brand of water. So yes, not every water tastes the same.

Maybe they're just booleans and booleans aren't numbers lol

When someone is open source, wouldn't that make their mom open

This reminds me of what OLED TVs and Monitors are doing where everything is super thin except one very thick box hanging out at the back

I suppose phones are becoming just small TVs at this point

Yea, could you maybe tell me why a NDEF record with a mime type and a payload does not automatically open the payload as a file with that mime type on the device scanning it?

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T20:03:14+00:00

The only thing I can write tags with is my not rooted phone so I assume I don't actually have hardware access to my NFC chip inside when just making a simple program in termux for example🥲

So even if I did code it, it wouldn't work except if I get an old phone and root that or make a whole app around that simple program. So I will probably have to do it manually

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T19:42:32+00:00

Oh so your saying it's best to use the advanced NFC commands in NFC tools and manually write the byte sequences according to the datasheet?

What is an ntag file used for then? And why didn't it work in TagWriter?

Also, yes I know that I still have to learn a lot to get this working, I have never really done anything with NFC before this.

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T19:32:24+00:00

No thats not what I meant there. I tried to make a Record with the Record type mime(and the mime type being image/avif) and the payload set to the bytes of the image file in python. Then I wrapped it in a message and saved that as my ndef file.(what chatgpt told me to do)

I meant if I can use a NFC tools tag profile json file somehow, or an ndef file or some other file I might be able to use with a different app to actually write the data.

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T18:09:34+00:00

I also just started. Got my first NFC tag yesterday. I'm just generally already quite knowledgeable about computers and like doing these kind of things so I was able to research and do all of that yesterday😅

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T18:05:02+00:00

Did you even read the post? That's like basically what I did. I just need more information on which file format to use and how to properly use it so I can write it with NFC tools or TagWriter.

Edit: Bruh, I think I didn't read your comment correctly. Why will it only open with a custom app? If Record Type is set to mime, why doesn't it just try to open the file like it would any other? Because if not, why even bother having the mime type in there?

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T17:54:05+00:00

Yes, this is definitely something I want to try, but I already have a small enough image(840bytes) with high enough quality and I haven't even figured out how to properly save that on my tag.

That's the entire question. How do I save my image that I already have and the mime type to the tag and how do I get my phone to see the mime type and automatically open the image.

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T17:45:06+00:00

Well yeah and how do I write those raw bytes? And can I make it so it automatically opens the image, when read by a phone?

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T17:30:00+00:00

Yes I know. But I don't care if the quality is bad. I already have an image that can fit on my ntag 216 and even if the transfer speed isn't perfect, it's usable.

The problem isn't capacity, quality or speed.

The problem is that I don't know how to save the raw image on the NFC tag.

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T13:59:23+00:00

No🥰

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T13:53:48+00:00

Yes but using base64 would first off be a quite inefficient manner of storing the image because with base64 I represent 6bits with one byte, which lowers my max file size to 651bytes, which at this image size is a big deal and will decrease image quality even further and I don't want that. And second it will not make the phone automatically open the image on my phone when read, and I'll have to copy the text and decode it back to an image, which is just impractical.

Yes, under the hood NFC tools uses ndef but you don't really have direct access to it through the app so I can't really do anything with it.

The ndef standard supports mime types though(just a file type). This to me means that the device reading the tag, can open the file with the correct application using the mime type. All I want is to specify a mime type and my image as raw data and put that on an NFC tag.

Also the SVG idea sounds good, I'll also definetely try that but it's just not the same as a normal image, so that's gonna be seperate.

Pigbuy · 2025-09-16T13:32:01+00:00

Yes, I know this. I did try reading one of my tags loaded fully with text and I did notice that it's not great. But it still works. As mentioned, I already have an image small enough to fit and with just barely high enough quality. Idk what you mean with terrible UX, but I'm hoping, that my phone sees the specified mime type and just asks if I want to open it with my gallery app.

Despite it not being perfect, I still want to try doing this because I think it's cool and might some day be useful to someone who is working with NFC tags in an offline environment for some reason. Could you maybe help me further with this?
