news of the weirdest electronic gadgets for sale in japan. google chrome and automatic translate do a reasonably good job on the page. it's related to the retail stores in the akihabara district of tokyo. https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/ also its parent site PC watch https://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/
They also posts new PC parts rumors relatively early.
The Japanese anonymous forum that inspired 4chan. It actually started of as 2 channel but various business and legal disputes happened.
Ha, I'm learning Hindi, I'd love a 'Hindi Stack Overflow', I imagine the technical bits would be English anyway so it'd be a great way to familiarise/practice. (Easier than news, say, I imagine, since I'd have more context and it wouldn't be as formal/pure Hindi.) I could try to contribute too: My cache is full of eels, how do I set the death timer for the evictings of my tenants?
+1 for the second line, but I'm very curious about "eels". The rest generally makes sense.

how does the p2p payment app work? No middle man?
Ah I meant P2P in the "from user to user with no transaction fees charged, doesn't go through Visa/Mastercard/Unionpay" sense (similar to Venmo, except that in China businesses accept it everywhere), not in the "fully decentralized and doesn't need a server" sense. For Zhifubao the servers are run by Ant Financial (it's a spin-off company of Alibaba), for WeChat the servers are run by Tencent. You can deposit/withdra…
Today it feels that it just became a somewhat bland and nothing-special corporate resource (OpenClassrooms), but it was once a vibrant community with it's own identity:

On a completely different topic, https://www.jeuxvideo.com/ have long been (and still is) one of the most popular forums among young people in France.

WOW. Is this a well known service/site in Sweden? In other countries this would have been blown up into a huge privacy issue. Assuming its not because its sort of underground, why do you think it hasn't in Sweden? Genuinely curious
It's a well known site in Sweden. I remember using it at least 10-13 years back. A quick Swedish googling found me a dozens of sites offering similar services. One even offered credit rating assessment at 1.5 dollar after the search. I'm not well read on the issue but a lot of things are digitalized in Sweden. It's a cashless society, where everyone have a personal number that they can use for government service & si…
Norway has had similar tax return approval by text messaging for almost 20 years.
In French we used to have "le site du zéro". It was a very popular collaborative site with a ton of free courses for beginners in (mostly) programming.

Made by former staff of Sdz, high quality, can't recommend enough.

Yandex reverse image search is also much better then Google's version in my experience.
Google intentionally tamped down their reverse image search several years ago. They fundamentally changed how the product works, the results that it delivers, and did it on purpose. It's definitely inferior if you're actually looking to find copies of an image (Google is fully aware, they don't want you to be able to effectively search their image system that way).
although I can't seem to find the followup post that actually discusses how the Yandex search quality decreased following the publication of the original article

Amazon product listings and reviews are such a cesspool these days. It's a travesty. It's completely impossible to tell good quality stuff from useless garbage (especially since they are usually commingled in the same listing), and often it's impossible to find good quality stuff at all under the barrage of listings of the same two products with different fake brand names. The sorting options are a joke and the ratin…
You’d think someone would have come along who just scrapes Amazon’s listings, applies their own intelligent indexing heuristics, and spits out a new search/browse page that just links through to Amazon’s regular product pages. Like CamelCamelCamel, but for dimensions other than price.
