  @patrimcriterio Paypal, Adobe, Intuit, would need to change their fundamentals before I would touch them. Glitchy products, terrible customer support, and greedy subscription models.

  🎣 DFIR Suite API Spotlight: CheckPhish URL Scan You're triaging a suspected phishing email. The URL looks clean in VirusTotal. No hits in your threat intel feeds. But something feels off. This is where POST /phishing/checkphish earns its keep. It scans URLs in real-time using CheckPhish's detection engine — purpose-built to catch live phishing pages, tech support scams, and brand impersonation attempts that haven't made it into static blacklists yet. What you get back: disposition (clean/suspicious/phishing), the brand being targeted (Microsoft, PayPal, etc.), and a screenshot of the rendered page. That screenshot alone can confirm what logs can't — whether it's a convincing Office 365 login clone or a legitimate site. Practical scenario: User forwards you a "verify your account" email with a shortened link. You expand it, run it through /phishing/checkphish, and within seconds you have a verdict and visual proof. No need to spin up a sandboxed browser or wait for threat intel to catch up. Costs 2 credits per request. Available on all plans at hXXps://platform[.]dfir-lab[.]ch It's a fast, reliable check for the URLs that don't trigger your existing defenses — but probably should. #DFIR #ThreatIntel

  @Oneirio I've been doing commissions on VGen and then having the money from there go to my business PayPal with no issues at all. I don't think VGen requires a code anymore either?

  @FeniciaDraws Ugh that sucks. PayPal is the worst. I know when I was with my last partner who did art commissions primarily for work, we constantly had issues with them. Especially when there were payments coming from other countries. Hope ya get it sorted!

  Polymarket is now facing a lawsuit that could nuke the entire $POLY narrative and almost nobody is pricing it in I lost money on this platform too so this one is personal, every YES holder in the MSTR market deserves full payout and here is why that is the only fair outcome The facts from the court filing, index 158389/2026, NY Supreme Court, filed July 3 Strategy filed an official 8K with the SEC showing 32 BTC sold before May 31, the exact resolution source the market rules named Polymarket then posted a new rule AFTER the fact, adding a confirmed by deadline requirement that never existed when traders bought in, and resolved NO Their own help docs say the order book gets cleared when a clarification drops, that never happened, the market kept trading live while insiders knew the rule had changed 1,868 traders lost 6.5M total, top holder @willo2_Poly alone lost 500K for being factually correct Now the part nobody is talking about The filing exposes that the Panama entity is an unstaffed shell, with real operations at 530 Broadway NYC, meaning US consumer protection law under GBL 349 and 350 applies directly It also alleges 350K routed through the CMO personal PayPal to pay creators for undisclosed promotions, which opens a second regulatory front entirely Why this is a nightmare for $POLY A prediction market only has one product, trust that being right gets paid If courts confirm the platform can rewrite rules after the answer is known, every open market becomes a liability, market makers widen or leave, volume dies, and volume is the entire valuation thesis behind the token Discovery will force internal comms about who drafted the clarification and why, that risk alone freezes institutional money Paying out 6.5M today is pocket change next to a token launch built on broken credibility Make the YES holders whole, it is cheaper than losing the court case and the narrative at the same time

  @elleloveCHI @B0bbyD1g1tal Coinbase sometimes has issues given their stance on poker sites / casinos, please try withdrawing to a decentralized wallet e.g. MetaMask / Trust Wallet that you control rather than a centralized exchange. Also avoid wallets that don't accept USDT (e.g. Venmo, Paypal)

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  @reallsteeldos Just saying he didn’t build it which is factual. Lol I don’t understand why ppl have problems with facts. He’s not an engineer he’s not a genius. He’s a businessman man who hires smart ppl. Credit for that ok. But even PayPal was funded with daddy’s blood mine money.

  The PayPal money was gone. $180M down to almost nothing in a handful of years. Most founders would've folded, declared bankruptcy, walked away, started fresh. Instead, Elon did something that looked completely insane:
