Filter: events whose text mentions computers, the internet, software, satellites, cryptography, networks, electronics, space flight and similar words. The match is automatic, so it can miss things or catch odd ones; "Show all events" removes it.
Data sources & privacy
Events come from Wikipedia's "On this day" feed, served by the Wikimedia REST API. Text is from Wikipedia, available under CC BY-SA 4.0; each item links to its article and history. This site's data service fetches the feed every few hours for yesterday, today and tomorrow (plus a day either side), so your browser does not contact Wikimedia and it never sees your IP address. Nothing about you is stored.
