  • Happy Chinese New Year. Hope You Get Rich!

    (#_ )! Oh, didn’t you know that: So, the infamous 恭喜发财 doesn’t mean “happy new year”; it’s “hope you get rich”! It’s not “hope you get lucky” either as “lucky” is 福 (fú) in Chinese and 福 (fuku) in Japanese. So, hope you get rich! If you’re offended with this and just want to say…

  • Seriously, why (#_ )?

    There are still lots of people laughing at us for “(#_ )”. Yes, the company.

    (#_ )! Saat ini kita melihat beberapa kasus warganet yang dikirimi file APK sebagai resi pengiriman kurir palsu, misalnya dari J&T Express. Ya, J&T punya akun WhatsApp resmi sendiri, dan kurir-kurir pengantarnya seringkali juga membuat akun WhatsApp sendiri untuk mengirimkan pesan kepada pengirim dan penerima paket.

  • Fake calculators are laughable, so why not create my own?

    Ah yes, there’s always a group of impostors for a calculator. Down to the designs. This classic model from Citizen has been copied by other brands to make their own. But after all, they are just the same. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention interesting impostors of (older generation of) Casio scientific calculators. I…
