Interesting articles, useful services, recipes, guides and other pages quickly pile up, and with them comes an increased risk of losing something you actually need. Simple browser tools — bookmarks, folders and a reading list — can help you organise things, whilst digital notes can be used for your own ideas and context-rich links. Let’s take a look at how to organise all this and build a simple system where the information you need is always at hand.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being actively implemented in business: chatbots on websites, automated enquiry handling, content generation and the analysis of large datasets. Against this backdrop, a question is increasingly being asked: do you actually need a dedicated AI server for this, or is a standard VPS — the one already hosting your website or CRM – sufficient? The answer depends on exactly what you are doing with AI. Let’s explore the differences between these two types of servers and when each is actually required.

We leave traces not only when we post photos or write comments on social media. Search queries, videos watched, preferences, purchases, location, apps used and even the websites we visit all form a kind of digital portrait of a person. It is virtually impossible to erase it completely. However, it is entirely possible to clean up your digital footprint, delete unnecessary history and limit further data collection.

A single password is like a single lock on your front door. No matter how complex it is, all it takes is one slip-up — and someone else finds themselves in your flat with the key in their pocket. Multi-factor authentication, specifically two-factor authentication (2FA), is a second lock that works independently of the first: even if someone has got hold of your password, without the second factor they’ll still be left standing in front of a locked door. Next, we’ll look at the different methods of identity verification available, how they differ, and where exactly you should enable 2FA as a priority.

There are films you simply watch. And then there are those that make you want to wrap yourself in a blanket, make a cup of tea and listen to the rain outside. This selection is made up of just such films — twelve films that smell of fallen leaves, coffee and a touch of melancholy. Put them on when it’s properly autumn outside, and enjoy the show.

If you’ve ever come across an abbreviation such as FTTH or FTTB in a tariff description and simply skimmed past it — this article is just for you. In fact, behind these confusing letters lies a fairly simple concept that’s easy to grasp even without a technical background. Let’s take a look at what these technologies are, how they differ, and which one Maxnet uses.

The lights have gone out, you’ve got your power bank to hand, the cable’s plugged in — yet the router is either completely silent or switches on for a couple of seconds before immediately switching off again. It’s a familiar situation if you’ve ever tried to keep your home Internet running during a power cut, isn’t it? And it’s not that the router is faulty or the power bank is «rubbish» — it’s simply that the electricity supply doesn’t tolerate rough estimates, and there are usually several reasons why a direct connection doesn’t work.

Today, generative neural networks have become so adept at imitating reality that photos created by artificial intelligence increasingly go unnoticed even by the most discerning viewer. We explore what deepfakes are, why they're no longer just a fun way to use filters, and how to distinguish AI-generated videos and photos from the real thing.

Sooner or later, the topic of entrance hall security comes up in any block’s chat group: whether it’s someone systematically scratching or damaging cars in the car park, flowers disappearing from the flowerbeds by the entrance, building rubble being dumped in the bins where it doesn’t belong, or someone turning the stairwell into a toilet. The logical next step is to install a CCTV system in the Homeowners’ Association (HOA). But this immediately raises a number of questions: is it legal, who has access to the cameras, how much does it cost, and who will actually be responsible for managing it? Let’s take a look at these points in turn, drawing on real-life examples of such systems being installed by our specialists.

Just a couple of decades ago, the idea of a hero hacking into a system with just a few keystrokes seemed like pure cinematic fiction. Today, however, news of data breaches, attacks on government registers or yet another cryptocurrency scam appears literally every week — and films about hackers have suddenly ceased to seem like science fiction. If this sort of subject interests you just as much as a classic detective story or thriller, we’ve put together a selection of films about programmers and cybercriminals especially for you.
