  The Tech Buzz (@tbuzzdaily) reported 2 minutes ago

  $15M raised: Meticulous grew ARR 5x in a year testing code nobody has time to review manually anymore Chemistry led the Series A, joined by Menlo Ventures, Lachy Groom, and GitHub's former CEO Jason Warner. Founders Gabriel and Quentin Spencer-Harper, brothers with backgrounds at Dropbox and Palantir, built the company around a problem AI coding tools created faster than they solved: code is now written faster than humans can review it. The product records real user and developer sessions during development, then uses AI to auto-generate and maintain end-to-end visual regression tests based on actual observed usage, updating automatically as the code changes. Customers include Notion, ElevenLabs, Dropbox, and Wiz, a list that skews toward companies shipping fast enough to need this. Rainforest QA and Autify compete in AI-assisted testing broadly, but most rely on hand-written test cases rather than tests derived from real session data. The tradeoff Meticulous accepts is that session-derived tests can still miss rare edge cases nobody happened to trigger, which is why the company is expanding from frontend into backend and performance testing next. A 5x ARR jump in a year says enough teams have hit the same wall: AI writes code faster than any QA team can keep up with by hand.

  a company hired me in march to "fix marketing." their words. when i asked what had been done so far, the CEO sent me a dropbox link. inside was a 94-slide strategy deck from the fractional CMO they'd had for five months. beautifully designed, with color-coded ICP segments, a channel prioritization matrix, buyer journey maps with little arrows, TAM analysis, and messaging frameworks. 94 slides. i opened their HubSpot. zero new campaigns launched in those five months. the email sequences were the same ones from 2023. the blog hadn't been touched since january. their one webinar was a repurposed sales deck with no promotion plan. i asked the CEO how much they'd paid for the strategy work. $60K. five months at $12K/month for someone who built slides and attended standups. here's what i did in my first 30 days: rewrote the homepage messaging based on five customer interviews i ran myself. launched a 4-email nurture sequence targeting their top 50 accounts. set up a webinar with a customer willing to tell their story. built the UTM structure so we could actually track what was working. killed three tools they were paying for but nobody logged into. by day 45, the sales team had qualified meetings from inbound for the first time in two quarters. not because i had some brilliant strategy the previous person missed. honestly, the deck was solid. someone just needed to execute it. the problem is the market is flooded with people who call themselves fractional CMOs because the title sounds senior. they show up, do discovery, build a deck, present it to the leadership team, and then just consult. they attend meetings and give opinions but nobody is actually running the campaigns or in HubSpot building workflows or writing the emails or briefing the designer or pulling the performance data on friday to figure out what to change on monday. most early stage companies don't need a strategist. they need someone who can think and ship in the same week. someone who will build the system, run it, measure it, and iterate without needing a team underneath them to do the work. that's the gig i run. and every time i walk into a company that had a "fractional CMO" before me, i find the same thing: a great deck collecting dust and a team that still doesn't know what to do on monday morning.

  Windows Latest (@WindowsLatest) reported 10 minutes ago

  Windows 11 June 2026 update, which was supposed to make PCs faster, is crashing some PCs with BSODs, breaking OneDrive integration in File Explorer and custom folder icons, and causing other problems. We're seeing reports that Windows 11 KB5094126 is causing boot failures on some PCs, mostly HP enterprise hardware. The worst reports involve BitLocker recovery loops, Black Screen of Death/BSOD failures, Secure Boot signature errors, and error 0xc0430001. Affected models appear to include HP EliteBook 840 G10, HP ProBook 460 G11, HP Engage One Pro G2 AiO POS, HP ZBook, and some Dell Precision systems. The likely trigger is Secure Boot certificate handling + EFI partition space. On older images with a 100MB EFI partition, Windows may fail to update Boot Manager because there isn’t enough space, especially on HP systems where firmware recovery files can bloat EFI. There are also File Explorer cloud integration issues. OneDrive, and in some cases Dropbox or iCloud Drive, may stop opening from the sidebar/tray shortcut after KB5094126. Microsoft also confirms desktop.ini hardening can break custom folder icons or localized folder names from untrusted sources. KB5094126 is important, as it fixes 200+ security bugs, but be careful, as it could cause havoc on some PCs.

  I’m hesitant to work with Jira again. Co-Founder wants it. My issue is that we don’t have a source of truth. Two brains, agents, & knowledge bases, leaves room for a lot of drift. Any suggestions? I’m thinking GitHub read only repo access might be the vibe. We also use Dropbox sync for artifacts. I just think a third central brain = more tokens and more drift. Might just have to build a full AgentOS.

  @cowboyshibuya Thanks for the reply! I'm not the most organised, and Ill usually just work on whatever is fun (Or a prerequisite for something that's fun to work on), but I do keep track of ideas, and create todo's and pipelines for things I am sure I want to add or test. For random ideas and todos I use a lot of lists (Dropbox paper, random text files, Notion, Notes app on my phone, Google Docs, etc). And for specific pipelines I use Google Sheets to keep track of what has been done per asset or map or gameplay mechanic (For example my guns spreadsheet has columns for animations, sounds, textures, etc). Big picture design and planning is all on paper in various notebooks and my Calendar app. I don't really track bugs now I just fix whatever pops up when playtesting.

  Files become clutter quietly. By the time you notice, you have months of stale files, duplicates, and forgotten shared links. ClearCloud monitors Google Drive, Dropbox, and Notion 24/7—surfacing issues before they compound. Weekly reports. You approve everything.

  SOMEONE BUILT A GITHUB REPO THAT TURNS TELEGRAM INTO UNLIMITED CLOUD STORAGE. 100% free. It is called UnlimCloud. Self-hosted-ish desktop app. Open source. Uses Telegram as the storage layer. You log in with your Telegram ID. Upload files. Download files. Organize folders. Manage pictures and videos in a gallery. That is it. No Google Drive upgrade screen. No Dropbox “you are out of space.” No iCloud begging for $2.99/month. No random startup holding your files hostage. Your Telegram. Your files. Your storage. Here is the full feature set: ↳ Uses Telegram as the backend storage layer ↳ Secure login with your Telegram account ↳ Upload, download, and organize files ↳ Folder-based file management ↳ Gallery for photos and videos ↳ Clean desktop app interface ↳ Built with Tauri ↳ Windows release available ↳ macOS and Linux coming soon ↳ MIT licensed ↳ Open source 885 GitHub stars. 125 forks already. Here is why this matters: For years, cloud storage companies trained everyone to rent space for their own files forever. Photos? Pay. Backups? Pay. Large folders? Pay. Team storage? Pay more. UnlimCloud is the opposite idea. Take an app people already use every day. Telegram. And turn it into a private cloud drive with a clean file manager on top. No storage subscription. No SaaS dashboard. No “pro” plan. Just a weird, useful, open-source hack that feels like it should not work this well. Built in HTML + Rust. MIT License. 100% Open Source.

  Here is what it breaks down: Local AI: Run Ollama, LM Studio, or LocalAI right on your machine instead of paying for ChatGPT. Cloud Storage: Replace Dropbox and Google Drive with Nextcloud or Syncthing so your files never leave your house. Network Privacy: Complete WireGuard and PiVPN setup guides for secure browsing. Private ***: Ditch GitHub and self-host your own repos using Gitea or GitLab.

  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.

  Dear @Google and @YouTube... My account has been hacked, and not only have I lost my Gmail, YouTube, etc., but I've also lost access to my Dropbox that has my full life in it, health records that I used Google to login to, etc. I signed up for Google Account Protection, but it did not protect me. Somehow, even after setting up brand new 2-factor authentication just a few weeks ago, they hacked in, changed EVERYTHING, and now my life, career, and health are at a standstill. I desperately need somebody to contact me. All options I've tried to regain access to my account have failed because everything has been disconnected.

  Peter Lake (“world’s anonymous singer songwriter”) (@PeterLakeSounds) reported 30 minutes ago

  @taobanker I might suggest another question: what should you avoid? In that context the multi-trillion dollar bet will have terrific returns. That also means that the money making machines of US won’t accumulate money and accrue value unless there is persuasive evidence that at least the big spenders on data center capex get their money back. Given this is unknown, I assume markets are skeptical. If the largest companies in S&P and all the rest don’t have excess free cash, and plausible they don’t go up a lot. That would yield maybe an on average flat market. The flip side is that models are open, massive parameter models getting quantized will be in windows machines. Silicon Valley and early adopters are doing fascinating things. But for the rest of us, I need nice and simple. And for the first time we’ll have good old home computers that can do the job and with that comes free use from heaven. Outside of specialized discussions people don’t know much about what to do with this. The jardon doesn’t help: context window? Quantized models? Nodes are not parameters, they are like neurons, and AI is so dangerous, but not it’s not…what a world! The really final blow is government intervention now makes it a sovereign requirement for companies to have their own AI. LASTLY! I’ve been thinking about the data holders. box. Dropbox etc. Absurdism and it’s comparables will become a bigger deal as people start to realize they the context “window” = the files and stuff you want it to analyze = can only handle so much Imagine of Box or Drop box had a button that converted all your stuff in MD files or the like? Then it’s show time. The companies that hold data may be more valuable than I realize. Conclusions based on the above speculation: 1) could this impact demand at the data centers? Sure it can. I know tech investors like to hold out their hands palms out and say…something vague and qualities. Yes, data centers are more sophisticated etc. Yet here I was doing some interesting work on a FREE local model, my “dark tokens” are someone else’s lost revenue! How does this math work? No clue. It is telling, however, that NVDA and AMD are committed to local machines. No large company wants model dependency anyway, due to data concerns. 2) Finally I have a great reason to buy a slick cool PC! The higher end stuff will not be throttled down in local because I’m seeing a bunch of them coming our way that will have decent “bandwidth” RAM in addition to high system ram. We’re going retro and this tech is moving so fast. Adoption will increase once you have super good local models on your laptop. …Im falling asleep, but the gist is that the data centers were already speculative, and now we a lineup of expensive but sweet computers running on windows that gives you infinite and faster foundational level stuff.

  you pay google, dropbox, and apple $10+/month to store your files on their servers, where they can read them. and dropbox already got breached in 2024. there's a tool that syncs your files directly between your own devices. no cloud, no server, no middleman. it's called syncthing. → real-time sync between any number of devices, peer-to-peer → files go straight between your devices, never touching a third-party server → tls encryption with perfect forward secrecy on every connection → works over lan and internet, no port forwarding needed → file versioning, roll back anything you changed or deleted there is no syncthing server. no syncthing cloud. no company storing your data. the protocol is open, and there's nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel. dropbox plus is $144/year. google one 2tb is $120/year. syncthing is $0, unlimited devices, unlimited storage, forever. battle-tested since 2013. run by a swedish non-profit. 100% free. open source.

  @butshaunn A lot of VCs get very excited about one thing, like a groundbreaking new company that has massive traction. They spend the next six months looking for the next best thing, which in their mind looks a lot like the last thing that went crazy. This is how you get silly comments like "can you replicate an exchange server into Dropbox?" Dropbox was the last thing that went crazy. And so now everything needs to get replicated into it.

  The code itself is just a pattern that encodes a URL. it's not dangerous. what it points to might be. The attack is called: Quishing. QR code phishing. It works so well because can't see where a QR code goes before you scan it. A phishing link in an email is visible, people have been trained to hover before clicking. A QR code gives you nothing to hover over. you scan and you're already there. And security tools are mostly blind to it. email filters scan text and URLs but a QR code is an image. 12% of all phishing attacks now use QR codes specifically because they bypass email security gateways that weren't built to read images. In 2026 — Stickers are being placed over legitimate QR codes at parking meters, EV charging stations, and restaurants; your payment goes to the attacker. — QR codes in emails leading to fake Microsoft 365 or bank login pages. 83% of malicious Microsoft 365 documents now contain QR codes instead of links. — multi-stage attacks: QR code leads to a Dropbox or Notion link that looks legitimate, which then loads the phishing page. — fake address bars on mobile called Browser-in-the-Browser. The padlock shows, the URL also looks right but it's a fake overlay on a small screen you can't scrutinize. QR code phishing attacks increased fivefold in 2025 alone. The FBI also issued a public advisory.

  System design question. How would you design Dropbox file sync with conflict handling? Constraints to make it real: 1) Same file edited on 2 devices while offline for 3 days, then both reconnect 2) Large files (2GB). Need chunking, resume, and content-hash dedupe 3) Renames/moves vs edits should not explode into full re-uploads 4) At-least-once change events from clients, out of order, with retries 5) Server must support 10M files per user without scanning the whole tree 6) Conflict UX: when do you auto-merge (text) vs create conflicted copies (binary)? 7) Cross-region sync, eventual consistency, and p95 sync latency < 5s for small edits [generated using my AI agent, hope this was useful]
