   I think they use the SIM card country ID and also the ad audience categories to suggest content. For example swapping the SIM card with a fresh installation of TikTok shows different "local" videos. Even if the public IP address i

   I never really liked the flat design, weird colors and shapes design trends from two years ago. So I'm happy to see subtle animations and gradients again.

    Interesting. Spanish on the other hand is very flexible with ommiting the subject. So "I am happy" would become "(Yo) estoy feliz" or (I) am happy.

    English and Japanese are very different. I speak Spanish. Subtitles have helped me a lot when languages are similar. I watched three seasons of a Catalan TV show subtitled in Spanish, and now I can follow conversations and read it. Before t

    One useful feature I use before visiting new places is sorting Google Maps reviews and photos by date. I've found Google Maps comments more accurate than TripAdvisor or Airbnb.
