Toto was founded in 1917 in Kitakyushu, an industrial port city at the tip of Japan’s southernmost main island. Like many Japanese companies, Toto excelled at adopting and refining overseas technologies, such as Western-style seated flush toilets, for the Japanese market. In the 1960s, Toto noticed a little-known bidet-like device being used in the medical industry in the United States. It began redeveloping the device in Japan, enlisting more than 300 employees to test and optimize aspects lik

In context: Japanese companies have long been known for clinging to outdated technologies such as floppy disk drives and fax machines, but that is now changing faster than ever. Even the venerable VGA standard – originally developed by IBM for its PS/2 computers – is on its way out, soon to disappear from modern laptops sold in the country. Panasonic recently introduced a new model in its "Let's Note" line of laptops. For the first time, the Japanese company has removed the legacy video port fr

If you look for information about the Macintosh Plus and its ROM, you’ll usually find that the ROM has a capacity of 128 KB and that it exists in three revisions. But that’s incorrect: there’s a fourth ROM, 256 KB in size, which includes fonts for kanji (Japanese characters). And I found (and preserved) this ROM. I’m Belgian, and the article was originally written in French before being translated automatically. I had talked about this mysterious ROM a few years ago. It’s documented by Apple

Jargonic Sets New Standards for Japanese ASR 日本語で話そう。Jargonic is ready. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems often excel in lab conditions but struggle in real-world enterprise environments—especially when it comes to linguistically complex languages like Japanese. Unlike English, Japanese doesn’t use whitespace (the spaces between words in a sentence) to separate words, making Word Error Rate (WER) less relevant as a benchmark. Instead, Character Error Rate (CER) becomes the primary met

After a monthslong hiatus, the One Piece anime will be returning in April. Before that point, its English dub will make its own return and hit an impressive milestone. When the dub episodes start airing the first part of the “Egghead” arc on March 18, it’ll have caught up to its Japanese counterpart. For plenty of anime, English-dubbed episodes air weeks (usually four or more) after the Japanese version, which can help extend a show’s presence just a little longer between seasons. In One Piece’
