But name a location that would care, and doesn’t have cellphone signal

Oh, I thought I was pretty explicit in my previous post. This is not to act as an actual functional vaccine passport. In america the land of freedumb no store would dare actually force me to present evidence of vaccination for fear of backlash, and additionally this card is a paltry excuse for proof anyway. I would prefer a national register that’s connected to my ID or something that actually provides evidence of vaccination so I don’t have to rely on our crappy for-profit medical system to track that, it would be on my person.

Regardless, the intention here is to make it as frictionless as possible so that when I encounter people who gripe about vaccine passports, I can have them tap my arm and “magically” show them my “vaccine passport” to freak them out. I’ve encountered a few people who are vaccine skeptical and I’m about tired of it. Worst case they never speak to me again, best case they get a bit of horizon expansion.

I resemble that remark. I work in a large (not for profit) healthcare organisation and the medical system isn’t too bad. The Health Insurance Industry should however be done away with.

There are other things I would change like the way they shove you in a small room for hours while you wait for the doctor, lack of house-calls, and other things I miss from the UK.

There’s definitely lots of aspects that could be improved, but in this instance I would specifically cite that I don’t have any of my vaccination information from when I was young, because I moved around a lot and you have to rely on your old doctors office to fax your records to the next one down the chain. Those are gone now for me, would have been convenient to have a national registry since vaccinations of all kinds are at least 50% a public safety concern instead of just personal safety.

I have records of some of my vaccinations (like my Measles vaccine) but by no means all. Medical Records are complicated, particularly as different states have different rules about retention.

There are definitely aspects that could be improved drastically. Standardized medical record formats, a central repository for them, universal healthcare,
 But the quality of care is pretty good.

Not to be the derail-monster again, but I just realized that when typing words like “exactly”, it’s doing the same - is that intended? :wink:

Clearly or it would be next to a titanic mistake.

I assume it is looking for a simple string whether it is embedded in a word or not. Depending on how it is done it might be possible to change that to non-alphabetic characters surrounding the name.

Haha, nope.
I saw that in your other post and took a screenshot.

I have a fault logged with Discourse, they are looking at it, and have agreed there is an issue.

It is also doing it for compound words like Titanic (thanks @Zwack) that I was already aware of

NExT was the obvious one it was going to happen with, so I have also asked about being case sensitive.

You guys are my Guinea pigs whilst I try to make some mods, so apologies if it is throwing off your posts vibe.

I had overlooked the word exact for xAC, so I might remove that, like I have done for the NExT until a fix / patch comes through.

Also, the word Titanic, I didn’t think would be used much
 Unless somebody was being a Titanic dick :wink:

Luckily if it is a phrase, it is smart enough to do it correctly.

Have you tried Roscos solution

Could you throw it on a Google drive or something similar and use a url?

Lol specifically no. Reading comprehension :laughing:

I did consider it but that is a lot of setup and config changes because my linux disto is completely out of disk space with all the IDEs I’ve needed to set up and the software is made for a 800B NDEF not a 7.6kB NDEF

Definitely explore black white reduction (2bit) and then vectorize?

That’s a bummer, it was my best suggestion for you also.

There is this post in his thread that may help a little, talking about changing saturation and file formats, it probably won’t get you were you are going but it might help you down the path

Ha, and yeah, I just saw Amals post above, yeah that too

Did all that between Paint.NET and Illustrator. Ended up looking like the forgotten textures on a break room whiteboard in half life. Ended up converting to B/W and exporting as a PNG then using this conversion site to convert to a webp and got it down to 7.2kB but you could still read the lot number. Attempting to load onto my implant as a vCard now.

Fuck. TagWriter does some compression of it’s own and now it looks like poo again.

Not to throw a wrench in your plans, but does iPhone even recognize a ndef image thru background scan?

If not you’re back to needing to download an app, or it possibly not work for give or take 50% of the phones out there

vCard

iPhones won’t accept vCard via ndef :-/

How confident are you of that?

Pretty sure I tried that in the beginning, which is why I had to resort to popl,

You can with an app, but iPhone didn’t background scan it
