Hello, Habr. In the first part, I explored 5 ways to use Raspberry Pi. The topic proved to be quite interesting, and today I will look at a few more alternatives for how to use this microcomputer effectively. Photo from learn.adafruit.com As in the previous part, I will consider those methods that do not require programming. For those interested, the continuation is below. […]
Almost 300 million accounts have registered in Minecraft, and this figure refers only to China. This was revealed at an event held by NetEase, the company that publishes Minecraft in the Middle Kingdom.

Arch Linux developers reported changes in the organization of package installation with the Linux kernel. All official kernel packages (linux, linux-lts, linux-zen, and linux-hardened) will no longer actually install the kernel image in the /boot directory. Installation and removal of kernel images will be done by the mkinitcpio script (hooks for handling kernel installation operations have only been added to mkinitcpio for now, but in […]
Streaming provider Deezer has opened the source code of the experimental project Spleeter, developing a machine learning system for separating sound sources from complex audio compositions. The program allows you to remove vocals from a composition, leaving only the musical accompaniment, manipulate the sound of individual instruments, or discard the music and keep the voice for overlaying on another audio track, creating mixes, karaoke, or transcription. The code […]
We laid out AI technologies from 2019 and unabashedly compared them with the forecast from 2017. First, what is the Gartner Hype Cycle?

Serverless computing is one of the most notable trends in cloud computing. The main principle is that infrastructure is the responsibility of the service provider, not DevOps. Resource scaling automatically adjusts to load and has a high speed of variability. Another common feature is the trend towards minimizing and focusing code, which is why serverless computing is sometimes referred to as 'function as a service' […]
Microsoft is working on providing Linux support in the Microsoft Defender ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) platform, designed for proactive protection, monitoring unpatched vulnerabilities, detecting and eliminating malicious activity in the system. The platform combines an antivirus package, a network intrusion detection system, an exploitation protection mechanism (including 0-day), advanced isolation tools, additional application management tools, and […]
This is the second part of the interview included in the anthology The Playboy Interview: Moguls, which also features conversations with Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, David Geffen, and many others.

Different cases have their own datasets, their own connection detection algorithms, and interfaces tailored to specific tasks. All of these tools were internally developed by Group-IB and were accessible only to our employees. […
