  StrictMode is a developer tool which detects things you might be doing by accident and brings them to your attention so you can fix them. StrictMode.ThreadPolicy among others can detect: - slow (blocking) operations on UI thread (detectCustomSlowCalls()) - blocking disc reads/writes on UI thread (detectDiskReads()/detectDiskWrites()) - mismatches between defined resource types and getter calls (detectResourceMismatches()) StrictMode.VmPolicy among others can detect: - leaks of Activity subclasses (detectActivityLeaks()) - when an SQLiteCursor or other SQLite object is finalized without having been closed. (detectLeakedSqlLiteObjects()) - when your app is blocked from launching a background activity or a PendingIntent created by your app cannot be launched (detectBlockedBackgroundActivityLaunch()) - when the calling application exposes a file:// Uri to another app (detectFileUriExposure()) - attempts to invoke a method on a Context that is not suited for such operation (detectIncorrectContextUse()) For both of them, we can specify a penalty: - penaltyLog() - Logs detected violations to the system log. - penaltyDeath() - Crashes the whole process on violation. - penaltyDialog() - Shows an annoying dialog to the developer on detected violations, rate-limited to be only a little annoying. - penaltyDropBox() - Enables detected violations log a stacktrace and timing data to the DropBox on policy violation. - penaltyFlashScreen() - Flashes the screen during a violation. - penaltyListener(…) - Set specific listener on violation.

  I got in touch with the system administrator, and they were able to resolve the issue. It turned out that the problem was caused by an update to the connected Dropbox account.

  @C3_NSFTooth Itch io could be the way to go. They've recently started walking back on several limiting NSFW things that were forced on them by payment processors. Else Dropbox and Mega are options as well, though Mega is a terrible website to use and will force their App down your throat.

  @mrsgcomics Onedrive honestly was the best one of the filesyncing services I've used over the time but don't rely on that alone if **** hits the fan. Dropbox (2expensive), Mega (2sluggish), Idrive (obsolete), Gdrive (risky+slow unless you use that app but even then), haven't tried Proton.

  Your password manager has never actually managed anything. It just nagged you. That changes with iOS 27. At WWDC26, Apple announced what might be the clearest example of agentic AI shipping in a consumer product this year: the Passwords app, combined with Apple Intelligence and Safari, can now autonomously navigate to a website, sign in, change your weak or compromised password to a strong one, and save the new credential back to the vault all triggered by a single tap. A Live Activity indicator appears on screen so you can see it working, but you don't have to do anything else. The word "agentic" is doing a lot of work right now in the industry, often covering vague multi-step demos that never quite ship. Apple's move here is different because it's not broad automation it's surgical. The Passwords app already flagged weak, reused, or breached credentials, so the AI layer had a clearly scoped problem to solve: remove the friction between "you know your password is compromised" and "you actually changed it." That gap was enormous. Most people never close it. The competitive context makes this sharper. Google has been shipping Gemini's agentic features on Galaxy S26 and Pixel devices since early 2026, handling cross-app tasks like ordering food on Uber Eats or booking rides in Lyft broad, flashy, and currently limited to a short list of supported apps. Apple's answer is narrower on paper but arguably lands harder because it touches something every single user has: compromised passwords sitting in a list they've been ignoring for months. What Apple is really doing here is establishing trust in an agentic pattern before asking users to hand over bigger tasks. If your phone can autonomously change your Dropbox password without you watching every click, and nothing goes wrong, you're psychologically a lot more comfortable when it eventually offers to autonomously book a flight or fill out a form. It's the same trick that got people comfortable with Face ID start with something small where the upside is obvious and the downside is contained. The feature ships with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 this autumn, with developer betas available now and public beta expected in July. For the password manager space 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden this is a quiet alarm. Apple just made "auto-fix compromised credentials" a native OS feature. Good luck charging $3/month for that. #WWDC26

  When people ask why companies like Uber, Twitch, Dropbox, and many startups use Go for backend services... The answer isn't just performance. Go was designed to solve many of the problems microservices introduce. Let's break it down. 🧵

  Topic 7: Checksum: ========= Input Data -> Cryptographic hash functions like MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 -> fixed size string is called checksum Checksum is used for checking data corruption during data transfer/upload Can be done both client-side and server-side Advantages of client-side checksum: =========================== -Detect data corruption during transmission -Resumable downloads (only after checksum match for each chunk, we mark that chunk as uploaded) -Deduplication before upload -Companies that do: Youtube, Google Drive, S3(optional), Dropbox Advantages of server-side checksum: ============================ -Verify storage integrity (to check disk corruption, large systems periodically check files) -Deduplication inside storage -Replication verification -Companies that do: Local file backup software, Dropbox, Google Drive, Youtube

  GRETA (@Greta__ai) reported 16 minutes ago

  We added Asset Manager to Greta. You're building an ecommerce app: product images, demo videos, docs, case studies. Before: Upload images to Cloudinary, videos to S3, docs to Dropbox, links scattered everywhere. One breaks, and you're scrambling through three different services trying to find the original. Now: Upload once in Greta. Reuse assets across all your projects, with everything centralized. No external services. No broken links. No context switching between five different platforms while you're trying to ship. That's smoother. That's what actually building feels like. 50 MB per file. Images auto-compress.

  @spaceemotion All good ideas. I've thought about Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. They suffer from persistence, login requirements, and users fiddling with things that change permissions. AWS is cheap, and I'm considering it, but I'm trying to pay for this off of my measly book sales, so...

  HE PAYS $8 A MONTH FOR NETFLIX, DROPBOX, AND AN IT DEPARTMENT THAT NEVER SLEEPS. One server. One guy. Zero subscriptions. He runs Debian. Free. No license, no monthly fee. Every app lives in its own Docker container. Like apps on a phone. One breaks, the rest keep running. Claude Code runs the whole thing. It writes scripts. It watches the other apps. At 2 AM, when something crashes, it fixes it before he wakes up. He built his own IT department. It doesn't sleep. It doesn't ask for a raise. Plex replaces Netflix. Every DVD and show he owns streams straight to his family. $15 a month, gone. AdGuard kills ads before they hit the Wi-Fi. WebDAV replaces Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud. Calibre Web holds his entire book library. He mirrored all of Wikipedia. In case the internet ever goes down. He's also building an app on the same server, with its own dashboard tracking rollout errors before they become real problems. Infrastructure scripts watch everything else. Restart what dies. Upgrade what's outdated. He doesn't touch it. Total cost: $8 a month in electricity. Netflix alone costs more than that.

  @iHerbMiddleEast Problem with iHerb is your delivery service to consumers. They’re a challenge to work with. I wouldnprefer if there is option to get my deliveries directly in a dropbox somewhere near and not go thru the 3rd party delivery service.

  I have the feeling - when I see who is posting this table over and over on here - that this is just a campaign so institutionals can get in cheaper. How am I remotely interested in the statistics within a 1 year window. (apart from the fact that there are many companies on that list that neither have a unique selling point (Dropbox, Doordash, Pinterest etc..) nor were they economically super great investment casess with a lot of upside. It is of course very likely that SPCX will trade extremely volatile within the first year and that we will also see cash-outs by long term private equity holders once the lock-period expires. So if you have cash set aside - no investment advice - consider just not throwing it in all at once. I personally plan on playing this in 3 tranches. 1/3 today, 1/3 on the first significant draw down and then another 1/3 whenever I feel it is appropriate.
