  @SteveHiltonx The mostly mail-in/dropbox election system in California is painfully slow, but that doesn’t make it in any way fraudulent.

  @joshpuckett i worked on an app called roll back then, dropbox, path, and facebook made offers, then fb made memories, path closed down, and carousel was deprecated, would have been so sick to cross paths at that time

  @MikeJShowalter The issue is the use of the data to train models not retention. Acting as if this is the same a Dropbox is disingenuous. They will not use the data to train for non-safety issues. Non-safety issue is doing some heavy lifting there. Do they have an outline of what this means?

  A skill server is any endpoint an agent can point at to load skills. Sx 2.0's move is showing a Dropbox folder can be one. Drop a skill in, share the folder, teammates load it. No infra on the receiver's side.

  There are some people who feel entitled to have my Dropbox and honestly I don't give a **** how you feel. If there's no transaction in my bank account which leaves your email address then that's not my problem.

  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.

  @peterhowell I used the original pak0.pak. I tested both Dropbox and PixelDrain hosting and tested the exact URL format from the README The app reaches "Fetching PAK" but then fails with "Could not fetch PAK URL" and a 403 error. What hosting method did you use when testing your own pak0.pak?

  One backup is never enough. If you run a website, keep a copy somewhere outside your hosting account. Free options: • Google Drive • Dropbox • OneDrive • GitHub (for code) • Local external drive Your backup is useless if it's stored on the same server that crashes. Happens more often than you'd think. #WordPress #WebHosting #Backup

  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.

  A 32 YEAR OLD PRAGUE DEV BULK-BUYS $180 CHINESE NAS BOXES AND NOW PULLS $7,200 A MONTH SHIPPING PRIVATE DROPBOX-KILLERS TO EU FREELANCE DESIGNERS While massive brands scramble to lock teams into clunky, data-mining cloud databases, this creator built a private intelligence system that secures sensitive data and brings in a massive stream of passive revenue every single month. He makes a steady $7,200 every single month by building and configuring private cloud and AI indexing hardware for EU freelance designers who want to escape subscription traps. The entire micro server fits right on the corner of a desk and runs on an ORICO metabox HS200 pro unit. This tiny sliver of hardware packs an Intel N100 processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and pumps out local cloud performance on a machine the size of a coffee coaster. Instead of letting his clients burn cash on recurring cloud storage retainers, the engineer pairs the board with two refurbished 30TB hard drives in RAID 1, pre-installs the software, and sells the complete physical package at a premium. Pause at the 0:02 mark in the video where the drive slides in: that is a sleek metallic chassis hosting a $1,000 mini-NAS holding 30TB of encrypted client data. The core value proposition of this setup comes down to absolute data privacy, zero monthly fees, and strategic scalability. Mainstream cloud providers like Dropbox Business can never offer this level of value because they bill €2,400 a year for the same storage tier while uploading private user files to external cloud networks. Here, the ORICO metabox pulls off the entire magic trick locally inside the office. Running on Ubuntu Server 24.04 and MinIO S3-compatible storage, the system automatically triggers a local Qwen 2.5 VL 7B model to run localized RAG pipelines directly over the user's PDFs and Figma exports. Through this custom setup, designers get access to lightning-fast local cloud storage, zero third-party data tracking, and a smart visual search assistant built right into their private drive. This case study is a textbook example of how accessible hardware combined with a smart setup service can unlock unique niche products that solve real human problems, and you can catch the full assembly pipeline in the video below.

  Ben Thompson about The Consumer Market: "This reality about the consumer market is a lesson that Silicon Valley has to re-learn every decade or so. Consider Dropbox, whose founder, Drew Houston, is in the process of stepping down. Dropbox was a category-defining product that had a viral hook — if someone signed up with your referral code, you got more storage — and grew extremely fast amongst consumers; the company then spent too long trying to actually build a business in the consumer space, before finally realizing that the only way to make money with what was ultimately a productivity product was by selling to enterprise. The reason is obvious when you think about it: enterprises are paying for their employees’ time, so of course they are willing to pay for tools that make those employees more productive; consumers, on the other hand, are mostly looking to waste time, which is why attention-harvesting advertising is the only software business model that works at scale for consumer services. The fact that Silicon Valley forgets this is downstream from Silicon Valley being a bubble; normal people aren’t looking for agents to buy them tickets to a concert. Still, the bubble was strong enough to convince OpenAI to make the exact same mistake Dropbox did: the company somehow convinced itself that it could make enough money selling subscriptions to consumers; Anthropic, meanwhile, realized that it was enterprises who were willing to pay for AI’s massive productivity benefits, even as OpenAI failed to capitalize on their consumer market penetration by refusing to build an advertising product. This is a long-winded way of saying that I don’t think that Apple’s agentic shortcomings are a big deal, at least for now. Agents help you do work and be more productive, and consumers don’t want to work or care about being productive. What they do want to do is watch short-form video, and an iPhone is simply much better at that than any other device ever will be; in that context, Siri being good enough is enough, and it appears that Apple crossed that bar."

  @pHequals7 They are usually slow but come around. Their customers are not going anywhere. (Google Drive took years, maybe a decade to show up, after Dropbox)

  Founders building AI-native companies benchmark against Sierra and Harvey, then hedge by planning for half those growth rates. Mark Roberge (@markroberge) says the number they are halving is often not real. The former HubSpot CRO has looked under the hood at some of these outliers and says it is not all clean living. Headline ARR leans on contracted-ARR gimmicks. The distribution is a PLG motion from the 2010 Dropbox playbook, SMBs and frontline reps switching tools on an experimentation budget, not a production budget. Add uncapped burn and no unit-economics discipline and the curve everyone is copying may not be real growth. Some gold in there, he says, but a lot of Groupons and WeWorks. The trap is every founder thinking they are the exception. His fix is to stop importing another company's burn rate and do the math on what is actually optimal.

  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
