Nytimes news room9/28/2023 ![]() “This is such an important consumer victory because it is going to protect consumers from an egregious and pervasive billing practice that has just grown over the years,” said Patricia Kelmar, the health care campaigns director at the consumer group U.S. Currently, those bills add up to billions in costs for consumers each year. But the law will eliminate the risk that an out-of-network doctor or hospital will send an extra bill. He said he counted the bill as among his top achievements as a lawmaker.Įven with insurance, emergency medical care can still be expensive, and patients with high deductible plans could still face large medical bills. “I think this is so pro-consumer, it’s so pro-patient - and its effect will eventually be felt by literally everybody who interacts with a health care system,” said Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana, who was part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who wrote the bill. ![]() ![]() It is a major new consumer protection, covering nearly all emergency medical services, and most routine care. The change is the result of bipartisan legislation passed during the Trump administration and fine-tuned by the Biden administration. A law that goes into effect Saturday will make many such bills illegal. For years, millions of Americans with medical emergencies could receive another nasty surprise: a bill from a doctor they did not choose and who did not accept their insurance. ![]()

How to use vuescan9/28/2023 ![]() In addition to its standard function as a flatbed scanner, the Canon LiDE80 is capable of digitizing 35mm negatives and slides with the aid of a film guide and small film adapter that connects to the back of the unit. Moreover, it seemed that it took less time to scan text documents using VueScan than with the native Canon driver. Using 300 dpi as my scan resolution, I found the results to be acceptable for printing and viewing. I was satisfied when I scanned plain text documents with VueScan. ![]() In conducting my scanning tests, I left the other four tabs (Crop, Filter, Color, and Prefs) at their default settings. The Input menu is also where you perform the Preview and Scan operations.įrom the Output menu, you configure the program to save your scanned files in PDF, TIF, or JPG format (or any combination of those three). The Input menu is where you enter a majority of your image customizations, such as the Media type, Media size, Bits per pixel, and Scan resolution. The Input and Output tabs are where you will invariably focus most of your attention when using the software. ![]() The VueScan application is designed around several menu tabs where you enter your setting preferences. As a test, I tried a number of different scanning operations using VueScan 9 that produced satisfactory results in some cases, but not in others. The alternative to using the native Canon driver under Windows XP is to buy and install the VueScan application from Hamrick Software that can run under OS X, including Sierra 10.12. An annoying aspect about using the Canon scanner under Windows XP is that I will invariably encounter a ScanGear release lock error message that can take several minutes or more to resolve. I have a Canon LiDE 80 scanner that I bought in 2004 that still works when run under Windows XP but is unsupported on the most recent releases of Mac OS X. ![]() As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. ![]() Playon server keeps stopping9/28/2023 ![]() ![]() When you submit the ticket give a rundown of what the issue is and that you followed this guide.

Mosh is still new, so perhaps someday it will become as ubiquitous on servers as SSH is.Īnother thing: Mosh expects your terminal to support UTF-8. You can even put it in your home directory and launch it that way if you can’t talk the sysadmin into installing it. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a superuser to install it. This is useful if you use SSH’s public key encryption features to log in securely without the need for a password. In fact, Mosh doesn’t actually handle the logins it hands off the login information to SSH. When you’ve got the client installed, you’re ready to get Mosh up and running and log in. If your system doesn’t have Mosh as a package, you can download and compile it yourself if you need to. There’s a native package, and people who want to compile it on the Mac using Homebrew and MacPorts. Because Mac OS X is based on Unix, Mac users can join in as well. The Mosh homepage shows examples using Debian and Ubuntu, as well as Gentoo, Arch and Fedora. Most major Linux and Unix distributions have it in their repositories. If you’re intrigued, you’ll be glad to know that installing Mosh is easy enough. Usually, if you’re on SSH, you might find a delay between typing and waiting for your characters to appear on the screen as the server echoes what you’re typing back to you. This means that it is easy to roam from Wi-Fi network to Wi-Fi network, or from a Wi-Fi network to a cell network, or from a Wi-Fi network to a wired connection – and so on.Īnother nice feature Mosh provides is real-time character echo. If the server gets a sequence number that is higher than the one it previously sent, it’s smart enough to figure out that the client has moved to another connection. The server and the client keep track of what has been sent using sequence numbers. Under SSH, the server just sends some bytes downstream to the client to be interpreted. This builds on traditional remote connection protocols like Telnet and SSH. Mosh uses a new protocol called the State Synchronization Protocol (SSP). It’s annoying, but I’ve done it countless times and I’m sure you have as well. All I can do is kill the session and log in again. I open the lid and type in the terminal window and nothing happens. My all-time favorite is closing the lid while forgetting that I’m logged into a remote machine via SSH. Or, as they say in IT, it’s a PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair). ![]() Other times it’s not the fault of the connection, but rather the user. ![]() Wi-Fi connectivity, as many people have found, is often spotty, and it’s impossible to change connections, say from Wi-Fi to LTE, without breaking a connection. SSH assumes a reliable wired connection, which isn’t always the case when users go mobile. ![]() It’s a great tool, but it was designed in the 90s, an era before mobile computers on Wi-Fi became common. It’s a secure, encrypted replacement for Telnet. Secure Shell is indispensable for administrators, programmers and power users who need to log into servers, either across the hall or across the country. ![]() Freefilesync9/26/2023 ![]() ![]() A Safe area means you’ll have to enter the password every time you visit.
