Fun Fact, there was actually another company in Japan called "Logitec" (it's spelled the same as Logitech in Japanese), and they were in Japan before Logitech was able to open up anything in Japan, so Logitech had to change their name to Logicool in Japan only to avoid a name conflict.

In the US, we used to have a department store chain before Internet shopping took over. It was called Best Products. You would shop and check the items to make sure they were what you wanted. You would then take the ticket, pay for the item, and they would bring it from the warehouse in the back to the pick up counter. It was marketed as a catalog store that allowed you to test out the products before buying.

To reduce the stickiness of rice id recommend washing it prior! It removes the starch and takes just an extra 5 minutes! (You fill the rice-cooker bowl with the dry rice and fill it with water, massage the rice until the water is clearer, and repeat until its semi-transparent)

Also unless it's a specific kind of rice (for example basmati), all rice in Japan is sticky by default, since it is eaten with chopsticks (if it wasn't sticky you would need to eat each grain of rice one by one)

[@thatperson8586]

I was wondering before he grabbed that bag of rice if he is going to rinse the rice until water is clear. And then proceeded to try to find this comment to see if anyone else called him up on it.

To me, it's 1990s throwback technology that a few arthritic legal secretaries used at the law firms I've worked at.

I’m a Japanese in the UK and I really enjoyed this. Shame the kids watch won’t work in the UK. With child safety more of an issue here than in Japan it would probably do relatively well here. I love rice cookers and bought all my friends one over a couple of years. Yum Asia do good ones in the UK and not as expensive as the Japanese leader but similar technology. I didn’t see it in the video, and I know it’s not a cooking channel… but I hope you washed the rice first…. 😅

[@picapica8266]

but that rice cooker took forever bro... is that normal ? like it was day when he started and in the end it was night so like do you gotta put it on before leaving in the morning so it's ready in the evening?

[@ДаниилЩербаков-ч6и]

I disliked it for this specific reason. For me, it's too fast and I feel anxiety because I can't really focus or understand what's going on. Until you've realized what's happening, the scene has already changed. Constantly changing music, fancy transitions, sfx and short comments. I don't get it, why to rush so much?

[@ryanmarto7107]

@@ДаниилЩербаков-ч6и I agree with you, I just haven't come across a good quality, fair lengthened and detailed tech creator, I absolutely love Arun and the others, but they all feel so condensed for most of their viewers with the attention spans of goldfish' I dislike it very very much.

[@TROLGED]

I was sitting here, watching this video, thinking that I spent maybe 20 minutes watching it, then I looked, and saw how this video was 40 MINUTES. Great job at keeping viewers entertained for such a long time!

[@ShayDrory]

He hasn't seen an electric toothbrush or pants either apparently...

[@legatelaurie]

nor has he seemingly ever cooked rice properly, never seen the stock android camera (nor other basic android features), a standalone smart watch, etc

[@MrJimmyFolk]

The keyboard is underrated because those emoji keys can actually be mapped to do a lot of things, including opening specific apps, command sequence (like ctrl+alt+del), and this can be configured for different applications, so for example the smile emoji can be mapped to activate ctrl+c when you’re using photoshop but when you are on the desktop it can open the browser. It also has other features like copy from a computer and paste in another using the Logitech software.

[@AndyH2k4]

The collab I didn’t know I needed until I saw it. Two of my favourite KZbinrs! 😊

[@Mike-Ybarra]

I’m a drafter who uses that trackball mouse with Civil 3D every day. Once you get used to it fine control with your finger is no problem at all. I have never used the tip of my thumb to control it. It just takes some time to get used to it. Also changing the sensitivity settings will help greatly. I enjoyed the video!

[@cameronschmit6472]

I adore a trackball mouse. So perfect for a laptop on a couch. You don’t have to do trex arms on the touchpad

[@sunriseshell]

Logitech has been making trackball mice since the beginning. You can buy them here too they're just not that common. People with occupational injuries sometimes use them.

[@patrickcardon1643]

Aaah those little trackballs you could clip on the side of your (luggable) laptop back in the day, before the touchpad

[@mariedodds6307]

I'm in the UK and I've had a trackball mouse for many years, once you get used to them they are so much more comfortable and easier to use and also feel so much more intuitive than a normal mouse, wouldn't swap for anything.

It’s amazing to see how all that expensive camera gear and stuff is just put in the open for public, it rly shows how much the store trusts the Japanese people

[@rexsceleratorum1632]

No group of people in Japan are allowed to steal with impunity because they belong to the "oppressed" column

[@rexsceleratorum1632]

Plus they don't have multiculturalism, so they can expect their customers to belong to a single cultural standard that discourages stealing.

[@lethalButters]

It’s insane when videos come out with people leaving their phone and purse at a fast food restaurant for like 30 minutes and coming back to show how no one steals anything. There’s even a restaurant that has no employees that check you out and you’re trusted to pay for what eat and it stays clean to boot. Japan’s etiquette is such a breath of fresh air in these aspects.

Why is everyone reacting about him not washing the rice? Like is it really that big of a deal?

@@ahernplays2239there are lots of starches and some sort of powdery substance in the rice so it’s important to wash it away, pus there might be something dirty in the rice so it’s probably way safer by washing it

[@darkreaper4990]

@@_aoirose_4217 it's pre-washed rice though. Some dude translated what was written in the packet and said it's widely available in Japan.

[@dklh80]

For the rice, you didn't take into account that Japanese Rice (Ultra Short Grain) has a very different texture as Basmati Rice (UK's most common type). That in itself, would make a huge difference in the taste and overall experience of eating rice in UK and rice in Japan.

[@Myocardium1039]

You should definitely do this in Shanghai and South Korea as well! Tech in Asia is DEFINITELY different compared to western tech! You can find pretty much anything you thought you wanted without any fuss. My dad always brings home 4-7 packages filled with tech stuff, Japanese sweets, or beauty products because it’s way more convenient.

[@ProfessionalGasLighting]

I really hope everyone gets to experience a mall in a country they’re not from. For me, it was the Kuwait mall and I’m from the US. It was beautiful and magnificent and surprisingly had more American brands than i thought! They had a Texas Roadhouse while also having a massive waterfall in a neighborhood designer section with Tom Ford and Victoria Secret!

[@Skootavision]

That thumb ball (upright trackball) has saved me from RSI. When I started working in tech professionally they provided me with a mouse. After a few months I had so much tendon pain. I realised the difference was that I'd been using a media controller at home which works similarly (your arm stays still). Took a couple of months to settle but that was 2005 and Im still coding daily and pain free. I'd give that a 10! :D

[@beamng_king7891]

And he didn't realize that was a 20 (30 with inflation) bucks record player. "audio is my thing he said" Sure, the battery and the case and drivers... But that is, essentially 'make-up on a pig' record player.

18:40 I think that handle is meant to fit only 3 fingers while either your index or your last finger sits just outside the handle. This way of holding a cup/mug helps with stabilising it while pouring out its contents.
