Can you believe it? It's 2026, and people are still making money off file format conversion!
You need a subscription to convert PDFs to Word, have to pay to convert videos to MP3, and even need to upload images to a server just to change their format.
But recently, a Korean programmer on GitHub named KnifeLemon open-sourced a powerful file conversion tool called Filee.
The wildest thing about this project is that it supports more than 260 file formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, PPT, images, audio and video, and even CAD and 3D models. Its interaction design is also incredibly clever.

❓ In fact, traditional institutions are already becoming increasingly involved in on-chain finance
I see it as happening in three main stages
Stage 1 (completed): Establishing compliant channels through ETFs to bring crypto assets into traditional Wall Street accounts
Stage 2 (underway): Bringing traditional low-risk assets on-chain through RWA to access liquidity
Stage 3 (future trend): Combining zkTLS, privacy computing, and institutional-grade DeFi to truly integrate Wall Street’s credit lending, derivatives trading, and asset clearing into public blockchain ecosystems
But why call this a f

How can you get a U.S. bank card without leaving mainland China?
The easiest way is to apply for an HSBC bank card at the branch closest to your home and deposit RMB 500,000 to upgrade to an HSBC Premier account. HSBC's policy is “Premier in one place, Premier globally.” Then you can apply for a U.S. bank card on HSBC USA's official website, and you'll have a U.S. card in no time!! Enjoy the smooth ride~~~

When is the easiest time to get a high IELTS score?
August, September, and December are the admission seasons for overseas universities, so the authorities will add more test sessions. However, January, May, and October are question-change periods, and the questions are generally more difficult, with scores being suppressed particularly severely.
Also, whatever you do, do not take the test on a Thursday. The Thursday session is an additional test session, so do not take it under any circumstances. Finally, each month has two A-only test sessions, which are academic tests, and two A+G test sess

Sharing a common degree-padding tactic that wealthy people have long overused, but ordinary people may not have heard of yet:

There are 10 specialization options, with enrollment available in both the spring and fall of 2027. Spring classes are held on weekends.

The reading strategy of an IELTS 8.5 expert: First, cram vocabulary intensively—300 words a day, until you have learned 30,000 words. Then read extensively, focusing on academic books and political and economic articles. Don’t translate; read directly, and only look up words you don’t understand when necessary (WPS has a feature that translates selected words, which can save a lot of time). After finishing, write a summary. After roughly 180 hours of reading, you should be about there. At that point, getting a 7.5 in IELTS Reading is easy, and with a little attention, you can reach 8–8.5. You
