United Kingdom, 1907. Returning from the front of the Anglo-Boer War, Sir Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell founded the Scout movement. The goal was simple and ambitious: to train scouts from childhood through play. The training system was based on the equality of children and adults, which was unusual for that time.
Among the bright symbols of the Middle Ages are sorcerers, witches, and alchemists who "enchant and turn mercury into gold." Cryptography at this time also went hand in hand with magic: take, for example, the ciphers of occult communities.
In modern realities, there are practically no people left who have missed the "neural network" noise. For some, it has even become a fundamental tool in their work, and some even equate its importance with the internet.
Hello, tekkix! This is Viktor Sergeev from MTS Digital. Twenty years ago, in November 2004, the first release of the Firefox browser was launched. The novelty quickly gained popularity thanks to innovative solutions and open source code. Over 20 years, the browser has gone from a newcomer to one of the leaders and has fought with the most serious competitors. Firefox no longer has the same market share, but the browser continues to evolve and focuses on privacy and security.
On November 16, 1996, the Windows CE 1.0 operating system was born. It was fast, resource-efficient, adaptive — and became one of the drivers of the rapid development of the PDA and communicator market. Today, on the birthday of the OS, let's remember how and why it was developed. If you encountered this particular version at the time, share in the comments how it seemed to you — convenient and practical or the opposite?
Hello everyone, my name is Arseniy, I am a Data Scientist at Raft, and today I will tell you about Visual Language Models.

Hello, old hardware enthusiasts. This is Anton Komarov, author of the MTS Digital special projects team. Recently, I wrote a post about Breadbox Ensemble. Then I decided that it makes sense to see where it all started. I wanted to find the answer to the question: why did the same shell change its names so many times? So this time I will start my story not with the PC version, but with the Commodore 64. After all, it was for this platform that Berkley Softworks prepared a whole operating system called GEOS. Details traditionally under the cut.

Ethernet protocol, developed by computer science researchers Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs, undoubtedly had a huge impact on the development of networks.
Hello, old hardware enthusiasts. This is Anton Komarov, and today we will study an IT artifact, one of whose names is Breadbox Ensemble. This is a graphical shell for MS-DOS, which was significantly ahead of its time. For example, the concept of the "Start" menu appeared in it 2.5 years earlier than in Windows 95. The developer company, Berkeley Softworks, was attempted to be bought by Microsoft, Apple Notebooks, and Sun Microsystems. But the management did not agree, deciding to continue independent "sailing". And it was quite successful: the latest version of the shell was released in 2009.
My career in information security began, like many others, with work in IT infrastructure. Initially, my company was engaged in maintaining the stability of networks and systems for various companies, and regularly faced typical problems associated with cyberattacks.
We continue to talk about the successes and failures of the independent Indian economy. In the previous article, we showed what happened to the country's economy from 1947 to 1991 - during the era when members of the Nehru-Gandhi clan tried to launch its growth by administrative-command methods.
Hello, tekkix! This is Anton Komarov from MTS Digital. Today, a bit of nostalgia again - let's talk about Desktop2.
My 4U 71 TiB ZFS server, built from twenty-four 4-terabyte disks, is over ten years old and still works great. Although it now has a second motherboard and power supply, the system has not encountered a single disk failure so far. How did I manage to achieve no disk failures for ten years?
IIBM 7090 — a symbol of technological progress of the 50-60s — will be sold today at Christie’s auction. The auction organizers estimated the server, released almost 65 years ago, at 40-60 thousand dollars. A day before the end of the auction, the maximum bid reached 11 thousand dollars. Why is the mainframe valuable, which today any smartphone will surpass in performance, we analyze in the article.
