  If you're asking about services too: Yandex Market. It's like Google Product Search that is actually successful and widely used for searching for specific products, or Amazon that doesn't swindle you left and right.

  It's basically just a large catalog of products, filled by third-parties a-la Amazon now, only it didn't sell anything itself (until recently). Instead, it had detailed characteristics for a lot of products, with corresponding filters in the catalog; and good user reviews. Since Yandex is good at dealing with unstructured text, even poor data exports by vendors end up organized decently on the service. Since Yandex had millions of users on its other services, they all could leave reviews without much hassle. And since Yandex is primarily a search engine, it knows when a bogus review is spammed across the web.

  Alas, it's only available in Russian since it works with Russian shops. Every time I need to look for a product on the English web, I lament that there's no service that is quite that solid. Amazon has filters, but search results usually look like simply a bit better Aliexpress. In regard to Google Product Search I don't even know anything particular—I tried to use it a couple times, and my general impression is that it... exists. Not much else.

  There's a home automation protocol that's been around for over 20 years called KNX. It's backed by big names (ABB, Hager, Gira, Osram, Mean Well) however outside of Germany it's pretty much unknown. Compared to ZigBee or Z-Wave it's wired and the config is stored in the devices themselves, so there's no single point of failure. It has strict certification requirements so you can be guaranteed that products from different manufacturers will work together (this does mean its more expensive though). The quality of the hardware (esp. motion/presence sensors) is a lot better than what you can buy from Amazon or the 'smart home' section in your local Walmart.

  There's plenty of content (in German) on YouTube about it, and forums:

  Runet (Russian-speaking part of Internet) has LOTS of it. We have HN equivalent (habr.com). We have RSDN (rsdn.org), which is somewhat like StackOverflow, but in Russian.

  Social networks largely unknown outside of Russia? We have'em (vk.com, ok.ru). Reddit equivalent? See pikabu.ru. IMDB? See kinopoisk.ru.

  There's a Russian browser (Yandex.Browser), Russian map service (Yandex.maps), tons of Russian e-mail, hosting and cloud services, Russian Spotify (Yandex.Music), Russian Netflix (several of them, actually), Russian Uber (Yandex.Taxi, which actually owns Russian Uber).

  You'll see lots of Yandex services here, it's sort of Russian Google (except it predates Google by a year or so). Yandex's primary business is search and advertising, but just like Google, they diversify a lot. And even in primary area, they sometimes manage to beat Google. Yandex's reverse image search (when you upload the image to search for similar ones) is FAR superior to Google's.

  And there's a lot of unique Russian content on global sites like Facebook, Livejournal (owned by a Russian company nowadays) or Wikipedia.

  Tengxun Ketang (腾讯课堂): similar to edX/coursera, they have a lot of free courses on programming, machine learning, and technical topics

  Wanmen Daxue (万门大学): similar to edX/coursera, they have a lot of free foreign language classes and lectures on economics/social sciences

  HKGolden (香港高登): Hong Kong forum on tech and software, similar to reddit

  Huxiu (虎嗅): tech news site

  Toutiao Xinwen (头条新闻): news aggregator site, has categories and comments

  Zhihu (知乎): QA platform, similar to Quora

  Zhihu Zhuanlan (知乎专栏): blogging platform, similar to Medium

  Ximalaya FM (喜马拉雅 FM): podcasts app

  Duokan (多看): ebooks app similar to Kindle

  Weibo (新浪微博): microblogging site like Twitter

  Zhifubao (支付宝): peer-to-peer payments app that works by scanning QR codes, very widely accepted in China

  In French you have a few interesting options, notably:

  - LeBonCoin.fr (“the good corner”, a Craigslist type site that’s used for everything from second-hand selling to job hunting to meet up organising),

  - LesNumeriques.fr is a decent tech review media with in-depth tests and a VERY critical community providing good balance

  - Gazelle which has now become backmarket.fr (also exists across other countries like Spain and the U.K.) and offers vetted second-hand tech gear - great for bargains and avoiding buying new for ecological reasons,

  - LeMonde.fr/Les-Décodeurs is the fact checking arm of the French paper Le Monde and has some really interesting visualisations and articles

  - Presse-Citron.fr was one of the first tech blogs in France and continues to be a reference

  - priice.fr is a price comparison site I’ve heard good things about but haven’t used myself yet

  - danstonchat.com is the French version of Bash.org for IRC fun

  - Legorafi.fr is a satirical paper with lots of hilarious fake news - often quite timely - akin to The Onion (it’s a play on words on the famous French paper Le Figaro)

  - Gandi.net is a registrar and hosting site which I’ve been using forever - they’re awesome

  Dutch-language tech community. Has news, a well-moderated and active forum, product and price comparison (with many filtering options) and reviews (both by tech journalists and the community), second-hand sales, and a job board.

  It was started by one guy 20 (if not more) years ago, but these days it's part of one of the big Dutch-language media conglomerates (DPG Media).

  Pixiv! (http://pixiv.net/) If you're familiar with deviantart or artstation, it's a similar Japanese digital art site with its own culture, store, contests, and more. While the site has a pretty great English navigation, I was on there back in the day when it was 100% Japanese only, and many of its current mores stem from those days.

• by NalNezumi on 2/15/21, 5:56 AM

  I would mention hitta.se from Sweden. Probably a privacy nightmare to some, and very creepy to others.

  On the page you can search peoples home address, phone number, date of birth, other members living in the same house, real estate value, mortgage rate, all by searching their names. I successfully once identified a parent of a owner of a lost wallet, only containing a gym card with last name on it. Found her phone number on the site, called her and gave her the wallet.

  For some reason, the Russian web seems to rehost old drivers/software and such indefinitely without all the malicious spam you normally find in Google.

  That led me to Kazus Electronic Portal[0] which seems to have just about every hardware-related piece of information you could need. Including an obscure serial driver from 2005 that I couldn't find elsewhere.

  Not a website, and this may be obvious, but if you are doing research on Wikipedia on a topic from a non-English speaking country, sometimes that nation's language features a longer and more in depth article. I am currently learning German and have noticed this with regard to articles regarding universities in Germany.

  In Poland there is elektroda.pl - forum about electronics, electrics and programming. Is was founded in 1999 and has over 2 500 000 registered accounts.

  It is a bit like polish StackOverflow - every time you google a technical problem in polish you will find an elektroda.pl thread on very top. And just like on SO, it will usually be closed by moderator for some bizarre and arcane reason.

  It certainly has 'old-usenet' vibe, both the good parts (huge amount of knowledge) and the bad (pretty toxic behaviour of many power users and moderators).

  https://www.wykop.pl is probably the biggest Polish site that gathers best experts from most of the industries, to provide comments on the newest political, religious, science and engineering news from all around the world. The comments posted by users of wykop.pl are often cited in other sites.

  ...at least that's what everyone on this site would like to think. In reality, it's just a digg.com clone, before it started to suck ;)

  While we're doing this, I should point out that every European country has their own public television, radio and news site like NPR/PBS or the BBC. You can easily find them via Wikipedia but I'll list a couple:

  - Germany: ARD, ZDF, DW, Deutschlandfunk

  - France: France.TV, RadioFrance

  - Spain: RTVE

  - Portugal: RTP

  - Italy: RAI

  - Switzerland: RTS, SRF, RSI, RSR

  - Sweden: SR, SVT

  - Denmark: DR

  - Norway: NRK

And they are incredibly fast picking up what happens abroad (for example, during several terror incidents around in Europe, NRK has been quicker with updates than bbc) as well as presenting curiosities such as: "Cute owl saved from ugly, Norwegian tree" [0]. In comparison, bbc.com (which is relatively okay for a news web page) makes me dizzy with all the different sections and styles and clutter

  - NHK world; (Japanese) national broadcaster serving self made English video content (and translations in multiple languages): News,on demand programs, documentaries, sumo! Mainly focused on Japan and SEA. Although the content often doesn't go too deep into a subject - it's not very critical - it's generally a nice mix of human interest, environment, science, culture etc. I had to get used to the Japanese ways/tone, but the overall lightheartedness made it a nourishing non-fiction media escape for me.

  In Japan, Yahoo Auctions is still going strong. It's a great place to find car parts. Related but I guess targeted at the anglosphere:

  http://jp-carparts.com has schematica of cars so that you can find pretty much any part you need.

  https://www.amayama.com is a place you can put the part number in and actually order the part directly from a bunch of Japanese suppliers.

  You want some of those little plastic interior clips for a 1996 Nissan? They have them. Power steering pump? Entire transmission? Window glass? Hood latch?

  It is often cheaper than getting it locally too because the local markets assume scarcity and Japan tends to not price gouge in the first place.

  It's like eBay, but for wholesalers who are ~selling "ghost shift" parts~ offloading excess inventory to small-time consumers.

  There are brokers for international customers; they communicate with the sellers and consolidate orders into a single parcel for ~10-15% commission.

  But it's harder to browse these days; less is available without an account which you need to provide a mobile number for, and you have to jump through hoops to avoid getting only "international" listings.
