  @rseroter @Dropbox Dropbox still at 87GB before the fix is wild. Mono repo size creep is silent until someone's waiting an hour to clone on day one.

  Let me explain what just happened… An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst. Jeffrey Katzenberg. Executives from Dropbox, Stripe, and Google. $7.5 million in funding. Thousands already using it. And it has an API. Meaning other AI agents feed it work automatically. AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up…

  @ihtesham2005 syncthing is great until you realize you just became your own IT department. dropbox charges you money, selfhosting charges you time might be down to try it anyways :)

  @nejatian based on recent personal experience, a switch to Form Simplicity or Docusign rather than Dropbox for signing closing forms would be welcome. Dropbox has terrible mobile interface when signing digitally. @Opendoor $open

  @nobulart Maybe a glitch on dropbox, bec. you opened my Black Swan file on dropbox, as I understand. Access permission on dropbox means permission to edit file.

  @uppastdark It looks like dropbox links are not working on the ps3 anymore.

  Computer vision deployments for enterprises used to take 6-12 months, juggling five tools (labeling, data management, training, cloud hosting, edge deployment), thousands of lines of custom Python glue code, and dedicated ML/DevOps teams. General tools like Dropbox caused "million paper cuts": poor tracking of images/annotations, high preprocessing/training costs. CV stayed trapped in research labs, out of reach for small teams. Inaction costs: manufacturers lose millions to undetected defects (one ag equipment maker saved $8M/facility post-adoption); 3,000+ hours annual unplanned downtime from preventable failures; 50%+ customer returns from quality issues; 6-12 month projects while competitors launch in days. Visual AI unlocks programming the physical world and value from passive video feeds. #AI

  I run 5 unattended 24 hour laundromats, raining 5 grandkids, and have too many ideas. And currently spending too many late nights diving into the AI world. Some minor accomplishments so far have been: : Set up Open Claw named Bob : Reorganized all my Dropbox files into 9 main categories : Had Bob provide an LOI for a complicated CRE purchase. Including environmental issues. : Any updates to the CRE LOI I just talk into Telegram and it updates the history. : Currently building a Business Continuity Plan. This will include all leases, contacts, insurance etc etc. : Side note. I just copied all my Leases into a folder and got a spreadsheet of all the details including renewal dates. : Analysis of last 1/4 and last years refunds for concerns at my laundromats provided in charts. : Working through 5 steps at a time to build the business income. : Used CoWork to update 22 FAQ’s on my website and Service on GMB specific to each laundromat location. Next small steps: : Load all the parts manuals for my equipment and compare to my inventory in Sortly to update where the parts are used and which parts are obsolete. : Continue to work on Bob providing daily report of all of my systems. SimpliSafe ( ran into some issues with this), RING cameras, Lorex cameras, Woosh filter monitors, ATM balances, TV’s, vending machines and changers. So far I’m not building and shipping products but making my own operations smoother is the goal.

  Syncing and backup services suck, both on-site and online. I've had to quit Dropbox, due to a barrage of terrible new policies for Mac years ago. iDrive is now taking days for simple backups of a few gigs, and my Lacie syncing service for my Lacie's started randomly deleting files on my HD last year. Why can't we just get GOOD software without the drama of software engineers??? Any suggestions for a real backup service that doesn't screw with their customers would be appreciated.

  @bad_alhaji @RoundtableSpace Yes, mostly true. Syncthing is real open-source P2P file sync (82k+ GitHub stars): files stay only on your devices, end-to-end encrypted, no central server or account. Free forever, unlimited storage/devices. Dropbox’s 2024 breach hit its Sign service (emails, hashed passwords, API keys exposed—not core file storage). Google One charges ~$10/mo for 2TB and can access/scan files per its policy. Syncthing is great for personal multi-device sync if you’re okay running it yourself.

  @SgtJulier1776 @CoffeeBlackMD I would suggest @HunterEsoteric Go to his website, sign up for the emails and look at his resources. He is on YT (Taken down before) and Spotify. Once you get the 1st email go to the bottom of the page and get the complete Dropbox vids. Get his cheatsheet as well!

  Told properly for the first time @toly. Soviet Ukraine. 13 years at Qualcomm. Dropbox. 4 AM at Cafe Sole with two coffees and a beer. The moment you realized the problem wasn't consensus, it was time itself.
