  The ******** at the corrupt American Fork Police Department forgot to set the dropbox to private, so they accidentally made all the unredacted videos public. Before they realized their errors, somebody downlaoded them. Here it is.

  Intruders spent five months inside a stock exchange executive's email, copying it out slowly and hiding in normal Dropbox and OneDrive traffic. No software flaw, so no patch could fix it. When there is nothing to patch, watching is the defense. Know what normal looks like.

  What's the point of using smarter models if "smarter" means 10% better at finding obscure bugs and having a sassy attitude? Most of the true productivity gains that coding agents have to offer, which are finite, can be obtained using open-weight models for literally 1/100 of the price. The catch is that you actually need to understand the code you are working on. At the same time, I still think there's a viable business serving proprietary models. People are willing to pay for Dropbox even though FTP is free, and it's nice to throw a tough problem at a stronger model occasionally (if intellectual property limitations allow it). Plus, there's a whole frontier productizing this stuff. Unfortunately, Anthropic is currently in the business of spreading tall tales about future improvements, then shaking down enterprise customers. Most of it is based on 2010s LessWrong posts full of category errors, some of which I remember reading back in those days. And their recent hostility toward users in the name of safety is a result of the same ideological recklessness.

  I'm convinced this kind of environment-setting is even more important online. The digital equivalent of swapping a cassette in a studio is stopping to go hunt down a file in Dropbox or Drive.

  @DropboxSupport Yep, still broken.

  Steve Jobs told Drew Houston that Dropbox was a feature, not a product. Dropbox is now worth $8 billion. In 2007 Drew Houston was a 24 year old MIT student who kept forgetting his USB drive. So he built Dropbox. Within a year Steve Jobs called him into Apple HQ. Apple wanted to buy Dropbox and shut it down. Houston said no. Jobs told him directly that Dropbox was a feature, not a product, and that Apple would build it themselves. Apple launched iCloud in 2011 specifically to kill Dropbox. It did not work. Dropbox crossed 100 million users in 2012. Then 200 million. Then 500 million. Apple tried again. iCloud Drive in 2014. Same result. Then the enterprise market shifted. Slack, Notion and Google Drive carved up Dropbox's user base from every direction. Revenue growth slowed. The stock dropped 50% from its IPO price. But Dropbox never died. Today 700 million people have used it. 17 million paying customers. $8 billion valuation. Still independent. Still running. Steve Jobs built a trillion dollar company. He called Dropbox a feature. The feature outlasted him and two attempts by Apple to replace it. Drew Houston never forgot his USB drive again.

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

  Despite me having proven him wrong about the exact requirement table issue he pinned on me as a “it’s her problem, shut her up” (Dropbox has the scoresheet proving I was not out of line, they were), I don’t think he can ever be wrong. That is just technical error on his part.

  @CantEverDie Keep making burner Gmail accounts and sign up for the free stuff. I jest, because that's terrible practice, although I did know an attorney IRL that would do that to daisy-chain those Dropbox sites. Infinite free storage, just in 2.5GB chunks.

  There is an easy to fix things in the uploaded to Dropbox version that Grok garbled. It just makes it so any API key comes up as invalid.

  @kozerafilip @joinsauna @newitemco Here’s my main first impression of Sauna: I don’t see a clear winning use case yet. At least from my perspective, Sauna currently feels like a broad AI layer on top of the apps you already use. It can suggest what to do, help find information, and has a multiplayer/collaboration angle around understanding what other people are doing. But I don’t yet see the specific use case where Sauna is clearly much better than existing alternatives. For an early product, I think it would be useful to have a sharper wedge: a specific group of people, in a specific situation, with a painful problem where existing solutions are poor, and where Sauna is obviously the better answer. Maybe that wedge already exists, but as an outsider looking at the website and demo, it is not immediately clear to me. This feels especially important because Sauna asks users to overcome a meaningful amount of friction and anxiety. To unlock the value, users may need to connect sensitive apps like email, Slack, and Notion. If the multiplayer value is important, they may also need to convince teammates to connect their own sensitive apps. That creates a big trust and coordination hurdle, so the value proposition needs to be extremely clear before people will make that jump. One analogy I think about is Notion. Notion is now a very broad horizontal product: people use it as a CRM, Jira alternative, team wiki, notes app, etc. But early on, I believe it had a much simpler starting point: document and knowledge organization. The product and communication was focused on a better way to store, structure, and share notes and docs compared to alternatives like Google Drive, Dropbox, or scattered documents. People could use it for their own notes and documents first. Then, when they eventually shared a page with colleagues, those colleagues could immediately see the value because the page was easy to navigate, clear, flexible, and beautiful. I wonder what the wedge could be for Sauna. I noticed that the Solutions page seems to heavily feature Sauna in Slack, as an assistant that has access to shared context. Is that something that has been resonating better with users? One possible wedge could be someone who is overwhelmed by Slack because they have too many messages and threads to respond to. They could drop their personal assistant into a channel to help reply on their behalf, using context shared with Sauna, and escalate when it is unable to answer confidently. That might also create an easier mental model around access: the personal assistant in Sauna has access to more private context, while the team-facing assistant in Slack has more limited, scoped access. From there, if colleagues see the assistant working and want their own, that could be a natural path into the multiplayer or “*** main branch” idea. Individual assistants could start to merge shared context and provide better help, suggestions, and coordination over time. I’m not sure if this is the right wedge. The answer may already be visible in the product’s usage patterns: who is sticky, what they are using Sauna for, and where they are getting repeated value. But I think the key question is: what is the specific initial use case where Sauna is not just useful, but dramatically better than the alternatives? Once that is clear, I think the product / website / demo should make that use case extremely obvious to the users who need it. (Btw I'm speaking with Ryan tmr regarding the PM role. Which was what led me to explore Sauna as part of my own research. Thought I might as well share my first impressions here)

  @p_ganong I’ve had this problem too. When I’m editing with Claude, edit manually directly in the .tex file locally on your machine through overleaf-Dropbox sync. Then you and Claude are both working locally.
