Digitization of Quebec justice system postponed amid concerns over past flops
The digital transformation of Quebec’s justice system has been postponed. While the years-long project is so far under its $500-million budget, the government may re-evaluate the work as concerns swirl after similar digitization projects, such as SAAQclic, became expensive flops.

Ah, yes, let's bring back the IBM Selectric Composer fonts because who wouldn't want to resurrect the typographical equivalent of a rotary phone? 😂 Apparently, some folks have so much free time that they've decided to digitize and scale fonts from 1961. 📠 All hail retro fonts, because nothing screams cutting-edge like 60-year-old typeface technology! 🤦‍♂️

Why Medical Records Requests Get Delayed and How to Fix It

의료 기록 요청 지연은 주로 불완전한 서류, 누락된 서명, 신원 확인 지연, 그리고 종이 기반 워크플로우의 추적 어려움에서 발생한다. BoldSign의 HIPAA 준수 전자서명 도구는 템플릿, 자동 알림, 역할 기반 라우팅, 실시간 추적, 감사 추적 기능을 통해 이러한 문제를 해결하고 의료 기록 요청 과정을 디지털화하여 오류를 줄이고 처리 속도를 높인다. 디지털 워크플로우는 일관성과 보안성을 강화하며, 의료팀이 규정을 준수하면서 효율적으로 기록을 관리할 수 있도록 돕는다.

Needed a replacement for a prescription #medicine while traveling, but I did not have the original package. Logging into my TK app, I was able to see the exact drug that was prescribed. There are plenty of problems with slow #digitization and private care in #Germany, but in this specific case I got exactly what I needed from my #HealthCare system.

J'apprends à sa lecture par exemple qu'Anthropic avait un projet baptisé "Panama" tout à fait "années 2000s" de scan destructif de livres, à la Google du bon vieux temps du "potentiel computationnel" (Guedon) et du "capitalisme linguistique" (Kaplan).
Les classiques ne meurent jamais, mis en abîme ! !

We run a very amateur free #digitization service in our #library #makerspace that patrons bring old media to. This is how we do #vinyl records, would love to upgrade to a better player someday though.
