I can no longer connect to the wifi at home, which used to work fine, and I have rebooted, etc., but can't solve the problem. My phone says to turn it back on or contact IPS. Is there anything else I can try besides rebooting before contacting the provider ？?

rak,

Yes ～, then you may have done all you can.
As I mentioned before, if your router has LEDs, you may be able to get some idea of what is going on by looking at the blinking LEDs. It would also be useful to explain the situation to the provider.

It is also possible that there is an internet outage all around your home
In that case, you will get a good WiFi signal on your phone or PC （ but no internet connection ）.

I'm not sure if the problem is due to bad weather ？
We recently replaced our router with a newer one, but the last few days have not been good. It is very common to suddenly lose connection during hurricane season, heavy rain, or strong winds. It is a common occurrence in Hawaii.

In the end, we had a contractor come and update the router to fix the problem. Before calling the vendor, I noticed that the phone line was also ruined.

It's true that Hawaii's bad weather only makes the connection worse!

It's not the weather. It's just a system problem.

If you don't update your system, it will become unusable one day.

The TV screen, email, etc. will tell you that the Internet will be unavailable for
this time on this day because of the update. You will receive a message saying
.

Maybe the update did not work.

Weather will not cause equipment malfunction.

All are system problems.

I have a problem with stray cats.

The person who lives across the street from our house has more than 10 cats on the loose and they are very annoying.

* Feces and urine in our yard
* Clawing and damaging our car
* Coming to our yard and making noise at night (fighting and meowing noisily)
* Ruining our yard

They are not neutered and are increasing.
2-3 animals a year are killed by cars.
I warned the owner once, but they are not my cats. I'm just feeding them ！ what's wrong ！ and he was upset.

The Animal Control Services website has a
ANIMAL CRUELTY / NEGLECT INVESTIGATIONS section and they will investigate if you ask, but I think it will end with a warning.

If anyone has any experience with the feral cat problem, has solved it, or knows how to solve it, please let me know.
Please do.

I have consulted with the Humane Society before for similar advice. I was told that they would loan me a trap and I would set it up and capture the animal myself. I was told that I would be neutered once captured and then released in the same place, and I gave up because that would not be a solution.
I know this is not helpful at all, but I shared it as information.

We have a similar person in our townhouse
"I feed the cats, but I don't keep them.
But stop excluding the cats."
and some people have trouble with that.
Finally, we all complained
to the area manager about the feces and meowing, and
all but a few were taken in by the humane society.

When I posted on this forum that I wanted to watch Japanese programs, someone recommended that I purchase the above box, which I purchased from Amazon for about $ 230.
When I first installed the box, I was able to watch Japanese programs in real time without any problem, although the operation was complicated, but a few days ago, I could hardly watch the programs.
And when I went back to my Amazon history to inquire about it, I found that the information on this product had disappeared 💦
I guess this means that it has become just another black box. I am aware that this was not a cheap learning experience 💦
I know it was an easy decision to make, so please refrain from any criticism.
I just wanted to post this as a reminder to everyone.

If you are testing to see if WiFi strength is the issue,
I think the first step would be to check if your equipment works near WiFi.
If you find out, you don't have to change your equipment such as Ethernet cable or WiFi router location.

For reference, Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association, "Legal System Related to Illegal Distribution of Television Programs"
https://j-ba.or.jp/ihoubokumetsu/houseido.html

2 ． On the Internet

When TV programs are released on the Internet, the above right holders and program producers, such as TV stations, must grant "reproduction rights （ or sound recording rights ・ or recording rights ）" "public transmission rights （ or transmission enabling rights ）" and "public transmission rights or transmission enabling rights " to the public. Public transmission rights or making transmittable rights " etc. must be obtained from the program producers. If you release a TV program on the Internet without obtaining these permissions, you will be infringing the copyrights, etc. of the relevant right holders.

＜ Uploading ＞
TV programs on the Internet without permission is a violation of the Copyright Act （ imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 10 million yen （ or both both ） , or a fine of up to 300 million yen ） if the same act is committed by a corporation.

＜ Downloading ＞
Even for personal use, it is illegal to download a video knowing that it has been "illegally uploaded. Furthermore, downloading a video knowing both that it has been "illegally uploaded" and that it is "a program that has been sold （ or distributed for a fee ） is punishable by law. （ imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 2 million yen （ or both ） ）.

There were some problems, such as not being able to see the TV,

but they showed up after the updates were done.
We did not get NHK here.

Bake-san

Have you ever worked in a bakery ？

It would be nice if you could start out in baking, but even if not

there are many things you can learn if you work in a bakery.

I think there is a lot you can gain by working your way down, like a sushi chef or a chef.

Good luck.

Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

Question

  • 2024/01/27 19:50

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?

I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?

I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, sometimes I get a bill when I forget about it. At any rate, I would check
what the bill ？ is now and then ask the previous insurance company ？ if this is something that has to be paid or not covered.
I'm not sure the hospital or insurance company would be liable unless it was a serious mistake.
"Oh, I forgot, you have to pay." So it's like.

In my case, on the contrary, last year I had to pay back the premium amount for a treatment that I was told was not covered by insurance. The treatment cost was several years ago. When I inquired about it, I was told that it took a long time to process the paperwork due to the office being closed due to Corona.

Dear Magires
Thank you for your advice. I checked with the hospital and Bill had sent it immediately after the clinic. He said that he had not received a single prompt after that, so he probably forgot about it. Also, I checked my credit card history and it seems that I did not pay for the year 2021, so I paid this time.


Dear rak
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I understand that it is possible to get back the other way around. I have been living in Hawaii for 7 years now and I thought I had a lot of things figured out, but this is the first time I have been baptized by a late bill.


Thank you both for your valuable stories. This time we resolved the issue by saying that the hospital forgot to bill you and I also forgot to pay. I am glad it was not a big surprise amount.
