Power outage halts Tokyo commuter train lines, disrupting thousands

TOKYO: A railway power outage in Tokyo disrupted the morning commute for thousands on Friday as two main lines with some of the world's busiest stations were halted after reports of a fire.

Trains on East Japan Railway's Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines were halted in all directions with no timetable for resumption, the railway said.

A fire was reported on the tracks near Tamachi Station, where both lines stop, shortly before 8.00am (2300 GMT on Thursday), public broadcaster NHK said.

Flames were coming from a transformer in the track area, and the fire was nearly extinguished about 30 minutes later, NHK said.

Passengers were seen disembarking from a Keihin-Tohoku train stranded between stations and walking along the tracks to evacuate, assisted by firefighters and railway staff, in footage broadcast by the NTV network.

The Yamanote Line passes through stations including Shinjuku, which handles about 3.5 million passengers daily.

The Keihin-Tohoku Line serves major hubs such as Tokyo and Yokohama. — REUTERS

"Japanese" Potato Chips

linkinstreet — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 11:05:41 +0800

One day Unker went jalan jalan to Lot 10. Went into Donki and saw this section selling their brand of Japanese potato chips. Intrigued, unker bought one.

Unker tasted. Quite decent la but reminds unker of local taste. So unker look look at package.

Package ok la standard Jepun full of tl;dr text. Japan need to learn about less is better.

See back. Eh, why recogniseable logo one?

ええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええええ!!!!!

Unker got scammed. Japanese potato chip is local made by mamee. Hmm, who else use mamee to make potate chip?
Oh yeah, that famous local brand.

Can confirm. Donki uses Mr Potato. Same taste. Even packages also same colour with Mr Potato. Kena scam pay markup price for local brand.

Only difference is that Donki has Pizza flavour, Mr Potato does not

TL;DR: Donki potato chip = Mr Potato. Mr Potato cheaper.

Wapcar: BEV infrastructure still has ways to go

linkinstreet — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 15:36:28 +0800

Recently, yours truly went on a 10-car electric-only (BEV) trip down south to Johor to check out the capabilities of a recently launched model. We are not going to mention the name of the brand hosting the convoy drive, because the outcome is the same regardless of whether we are driving ten Proton e.Mas 7s, BYD Sealions or Tesla Model Ys.

Instead, we would like to focus on the current state of the BEV infrastructure in Malaysia. While the number of charging stations has been ramping up across the country, there is still the question of whether our infrastructure can handle during peak hours. What you see on curated social media content is not always true, and this is our raw experience, told as it is

*cough*SoyaCincau*cough*

QUOTE

During the final day of the media drive, the organisers told us to take a pit stop at Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) to recharge our cars. The plan was to have them charged up to 90%, which should provide us enough range to head back to Kuala Lumpur.

Under WLTP tests, the tested car has a maximum range of 480 km. Our journey from JPO to KL would take 309 km, so a 90% state of charge (SoC) would be more than sufficient.

When we reached JPO, most of the cars had about 20% or fewer SoC and charging up to 90% via a DC charger would take an average of around 30 to 40 minutes. The reason for charging at JPO was that there were plenty of charging bays – 30 DC charge points – available and 1 MW worth of capacity, which is sufficient to support charging our ten cars and other owners.

In theory, these figures sound very confident to local BEV lobbyists who harp on the virtues and beliefs of BEVs being the sure-fire future of personal mobility.

But some of us faced issues with the chargers, which either could not initially accept the payment or were having connectivity issues. The charger my car was assigned to was a 640-kW DC fast charger meant for commercial electric buses, operated by DC Handal.

It took about 10 minutes to get the car charging, which was capped at around 160 kW, but this was after a few attempts to initiate the charge, possibly due to a problem with the pay terminal and the intense heat – it was 34°C that afternoon.

QUOTE

Then, the entire JPO suffered a blackout, and the roasting heat turned to a massive downpour. At this point, less than half of the ten cars in our convoy have been charged up to 90%. Most of us had between 50-60% of SoC, and the organiser suggested charging their cars at another charging station at one of the highway rest stops.

Eventually, power was restored to the premium outlet after about 10-15 minutes. The organiser told a few of us that have not left to remain at the charging stations. We managed to get our car charged up to 90% at JPO and made our way back to the capital with 14% charge remaining.

QUOTE

Through a stroke of bad luck, the blackout was later revealed not to have been caused by us charging, but a scheduled supply cut to facilitate construction nearby. Nobody cares about the cause of a blackout at a petrol station because drivers will simply ignore it and go to another location further down the road, but in this case, it’s enough to delay the progress of 10 cars.

Large-scale interstate driving events like these always involve overworked event crews who will have to take the cars to charge, and wait, usually through the night, especially if the destination is far from major city centres. Take this recent trip down south. There are three charging stations nearby, and even if they support DC charging, it would take time to recharge them to a feasible range.

10 cars multiplied by 20 minutes of charging, which does not include the time to move each of them around and get connected with the chargers, and you’re looking at a long night.

Altis Driver Rage Sepak BMW in Singapore North

According to Sing, the couple was caught in a congested road.

There was a car in front of them that was apparently driving haltingly and stopping repeatedly.

Many vehicles were honking at the car, including the couple, the post read.

In a police report, the couple said they had noticed a Toyota Altis behind them that was constantly honking at them.

Soon after, however, the Singapore-registered car then drove up to their side, and the driver apparently berated them and asked them why they had not moved forward.

According to Sing, her boyfriend then explained to the driver of the Singapore car that there was another car in front of them.

Sing claimed that the driver next replied: "Don't think you're so great just cause you drive a BMW".

Sing said that the driver exited his car to confront her boyfriend, and used his body to hit him, as well as spit on him.

Sing noted that her boyfriend did not lay hands on the other man as they were wary of other commuters filming the exchange, and he did not want to add fuel to fire.

Sing added that her boyfriend later told the driver that they could go to the police station together to "settle" their conflict.

The driver of the Singapore car then flew into a rage and started kicking their car, causing a dent.

The driver reportedly said, "Go police then go, not afraid of you ah."

He then apparently drove around a corner and left.

Singapore Airlines stewardess kena cabul in flight

A 20-year-old Indian man has been charged with molesting a flight attendant in Singapore. The suspect is accused of using force with intent to outrage the modesty of a 28-year-old female crew member on a Singapore Airlines flight from Australia.

Singapore Police Force said that the flight attendant was escorting a female passenger to the toilet when she noticed a piece of tissue paper on the floor. When she bent to pick it up, the suspect allegedly approached her from behind, grabbed her, and forced her into the lavatory with him, the South China Morning Post reported.

A witness immediately intervened and helped the crew member out of the lavatory. The matter was then reported to the cabin supervisor after which the suspect was arrested at Singapore’s Changi airport.

This is the second such case reported in April. A 73-year-old Indian national named Balasubramanian Ramesh was sentenced to nine months in jail earlier this month after admitting to molesting four different Singapore Airlines stewardesses on a flight from San Francisco in November 2024.

Samsung co-CEO Han Jong-Hee dies at 63

linkinstreet — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:58:41 +0800

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/24/tech/sam...-hnk/index.html

Samsung Electronics co-CEO Han Jong-Hee died from cardiac arrest on Tuesday, according to a spokesperson for the South Korean tech giant. Han was 63.

Born in 1962, Han had overseen Samsung’s consumer electronics and mobile devices businesses since 2022, according to the company. He was named Samsung Electronics vice chairman and co-CEO in 2022.

Han joined the company in 1988 after earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Inha University. Prior to running Samsung’s electronics and devices division, he was in charge of the display operation.

“He played a pivotal role in taking Samsung’s TV business to the pinnacle of the global market in 2006 and keeping it there ever since,” Samsung said of Han in a company biography published last week.

Han was “central” in rolling out Samsung’s LED TVs, which, along with other innovations of his, helped the company “continually demonstrate technology leadership,” it added.
