FWIW, North Koreans also use lots of English-derived loanwords for computer topics, but they may be different from those in the south. Some time ago I made a search interface for a North Korean English dictionary if you want to poke around: https://yorwba.github.io/dic.html/ For example, "file" is 화일 (hwail) instead of 파일 (pail).

This is really interesting, thanks for putting it together. I figure for specific topics like computing it's pretty much unavoidable.
