dragon1952 (@gmanshk) reportedFrom GROK Yes. Max Miller’s attorney released a public Dropbox folder containing an undressed photo of his 2-year-old daughter. It came from a February 2025 text exchange documenting a bruise (later a broken collarbone) noticed during bathing. The image was available for about a day before removal. Miller’s lawyer called it an accidental inclusion of a shirtless photo with no ******** visible. The other side’s lawyers described it as potentially showing ******** and possible CSAM. Miller has acknowledged the photo existed in the materials.

The Tech Buzz (@tbuzzdaily) reported$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.

Hugo Bowne-Anderson (@hugobowne) reported“You still use pull requests? I wouldn’t even do that anymore. Just push it straight to trunk, have your agent summarize it.” That’s @gregce10, co-founder and CPO of SpecStory. He previously worked at GitHub, Dropbox and Google, and was CPO at Pluralsight. And he kept going: - PRs are the limiting gate when agents produce more code than humans can review. - The model should never decide when its own work is finished. Put the deterministic checks somewhere it cannot access. - *** is probably here to stay. Whether GitHub remains the platform, “we’ll see.” @HanchungLee came at the same problem from the evaluation side. Han is Director of Machine Learning at Moody’s and works on SkillsBench, evaluating skills across combinations of models and agent harnesses. - An agent is the model plus its harness. You need to evaluate the complete system. - A green check proves nothing if the agent found a way to game the task. - Your agent could delete the failing test and declare success. Both are figuring out how to turn masses of agent-generated slop into signal. Greg mined 516 saved agent sessions to recover the decisions and intent behind the work, identify recurring practices, and forge the ones he approved into reusable skills. Han runs skills inside controlled environments, grades the result, and preserves the complete trajectory so we can inspect what the agent actually did. Preserve the intent. Inspect the trajectory. Verify the result. Turn what works into skills. Full episode in the replies 👇

pharmabro (@pharmabro0782) reported@Ronalfa @draparente @liambai21 a “rock engineer” at Dropbox is an engineer, an RA doesn’t have the degree (undergrad/ masters at best). Now this is different at large pharma where RAs can stay for much, much longer time with structured career development (slow but existent).

Alchemist - τ (@SubnetSummerT) reported@Dropbox piloting @LeadpoetAI is worth slowing down on. Dropbox spends around $370m a year on sales and marketing. That's the budget Leadpoet is now piloting inside. For context, SN71's entire market cap is about $4m. The annual sales budget of one pilot customer is roughly 85x the value of the whole subnet. Leadpoet doesn't need to win the budget. Capturing even a fraction of a percent of enterprise sales spend at companies like this is meaningful revenue. And revenue is where the flywheel starts. Usage burns alpha. Burn supports the token. Stronger emissions attract better miners. Better miners produce better leads. Better leads win more budget. Repeat. @webuildscore (SN44) showed what happens when a subnet ties real commercial usage to its token. Leadpoet is running the same playbook against enterprise sales budgets, which are measured in hundreds of millions per company.

Rituraj (@RituWithAI) reported🚨 Someone built a tool that checks if your email is registered on 120+ sites — without the sites ever knowing someone checked. No notifications sent. No login attempts logged. No alerts triggered. Silent. Invisible. Complete. It's called Holehe. 16,800 GitHub stars. And the technique behind it is what makes it different from every other email OSINT tool. Here's how most email checkers work — and why they fail. Standard approach: try to log in with the email and a fake password. If the error says "wrong password" — the account exists. If it says "account not found" — it doesn't. Problem: every login attempt gets logged. Every failed attempt triggers security alerts on accounts with 2FA. Some platforms lock accounts after repeated failed attempts. The target knows someone was checking. Holehe never attempts a login. Instead it uses the "forgot password" flow — the password reset mechanism that every platform exposes publicly. When you enter an email on a forgot password page, the platform has to check whether that email exists in its database. It tells you: "we sent a reset link" or "no account found." Holehe reads that response. Gets the answer. Never touches the login flow. Never triggers a security alert. Never logs an access attempt against the account. The platform confirms whether the email exists. The account owner never finds out anyone asked. Here's what 120+ platforms looks like in practice. Social media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit. Professional: LinkedIn, GitHub, Freelancer, Fiverr. Dating: Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Badoo, Happn. Entertainment: Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, Steam, Epic Games, Deezer. Shopping: Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, AliExpress. Services: Airbnb, Uber, PayPal, Dropbox, Adobe. And 90+ more. Every registration checked silently. Here's the use case that makes people share this. Run your own email address. See every platform that comes back positive. Then run an email address you gave to a company that claimed they'd never share it. See if it's registered on data broker sites and marketing platforms you never signed up for. See where your email has been sold or leaked to. Here's what investigators actually use it for. Journalists verifying whether a source's claimed identity matches their digital footprint. Security researchers auditing their own exposure before a public disclosure. HR teams verifying whether candidate profiles match claimed backgrounds. And the obvious: anyone who needs to know whether a specific email address belongs to a real active person — without alerting that person. Here's the wildest part. It runs async — all 120+ platforms checked simultaneously. Results in seconds. And it exports clean JSON or CSV for integration into larger OSINT pipelines. Pair it with Blackbird (which takes the confirmed email and finds linked profiles), Sherlock (which takes usernames found in those profiles and searches 400+ platforms), and Maigret (which builds the full dossier) — and you have a complete four-tool OSINT pipeline from a single email address. One command to instal. Run it on your own email first. 16.8K GitHub stars. 1.7K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

DFIR Radar (@DFIR_Radar) reportedSMOKE campaign abuses fake Zoom and Adobe lures to silently deploy ScreenConnect RMM, giving attackers persistent remote access that blends with legitimate IT traffic across Windows and macOS. - Initial access rotates across VBScript droppers, batch loaders, and a polished fake Zoom HTML page that auto-downloads an MSI after a 2-second JavaScript timer, no user click needed. Payloads were hosted on a WsgiDAV staging server at 207.174.0[.]143:8080 with open directory listing exposing 15 files. Early samples used Dropbox links and a Cloudflare Quick Tunnel at subscription-magnetic-recommended-meat.trycloudflare[.]com to bypass domain reputation filters. - The final payload is a legitimate ConnectWise-signed ScreenConnect MSI with a valid DigiCert certificate. Agents beacon with URL parameters e=Access&y=Guest to attacker relay servers, including port 8041 on that same IP, making traffic appear as authorized IT remote access. - The attacker pivoted mid-campaign from a 9-step Defender destruction sequence (disabling AMSI, killing WinDefend, adding C:\ as an exclusion, stripping Zone.Identifier) to a stealth loader containing a hardcoded 180-second sleep with a source comment explicitly stating it breaks Elastic EDR correlation windows. Direct evidence of testing against commercial security products. #DFIR_Radar

Palpy (@evgenij_rabij) reportedA 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.

Amitoj Gautam (@amitojgautam) reported@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence I’m facing what appears to be a serious IPv6 routing/throughput issue on my Airtel broadband. My 300 Mbps connection gives ~300 Mbps download AND upload on Speedtest. However, with IPv6 enabled, Dropbox uploads collapse to around 10–15 KB/s, and services such as Gmail and some websites also become extremely slow/unresponsive. After disabling IPv6 on the Ethernet adapter, Dropbox immediately jumped to ~39 MB/s and the affected websites started loading normally within seconds. This has been reproduced consistently, so it does not appear to be a general bandwidth or Dropbox issue. Please escalate this to the network/IPv6 team and check IPv6 routing, packet loss, MTU/PMTUD and provisioning on my connection.

Karishma Bhardwaj (@bkarishma360) reported@shahzamannn_ Your SaaS idea doesn’t need to be complicated. Stripe moves money. Postman sends API requests. Notion organizes information. Dropbox syncs files. The lesson? Simple problem + huge market + great execution = massive company. Stop asking, “Is my idea too simple?” Start asking, “How many people have this problem?”

Lando, the Chef (@_Lando7763) reported@PhyxicxGaming Thanks. And unfortunately it's even worse than that because it's technically "shared housing;" the place was already a ******** when I got here. No pests, fortunately, and I'm pretty sure the landlord has no idea what goes on here, and doesn't care. I've only ever met the maintenance man, who handles move-ins, plus he picks up rent from the dropbox every week. I haven't seen him since the day I moved in, and he even told me as much that I'll never meet the owner. The psycho has his room on the 3rd floor, I'm one of two on the 2nd floor, and there's one person below me. The bathroom is shared, as is the kitchen, which I never use. Only one burner on the stove works anyway. On my first day, I texted about the broken toilet seat, and the Landlord asked me what happened. WTF? Third-Floor Psycho is the only other person who's walking around raging regularly. Everyone else recognizes the general "peace" of the environment. Unfortunately I have to be here at least a few more months, while I'm still paying off old bills, and re-establishing myself in a new city. It's a slow journey, but a steady one. I just happen to hit a ****** rest stop here and there.

Paulius Eidukas (艾文) ☭ (@nilsenist) reported@RavenT1me Sorry about that! The hacked account asks to download a virus disguised as an "indie game". I've reported that both to Discord and Dropbox/GitHub/YouTube which help distribute the file. Hopefully that shuts down the hacker at least temporarily. Hope you get your account back!

Abhishek Singh (@0xlelouch_) reportedSystem 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]

Arthur Terrell Vaughn (@ArthurV36405381) reported@patmendoza6745 I know not of any of those specifications, but I still can’t figure out what the issue is with persistent memory, why can’t I just have a dropbox online that it can constantly access every single chat and conversation?

Duane Storey (@DuaneStorey) reportedHey @plasmidsaurus - just tried your new Dropbox in Valencia, Spain. It’s super difficult to find. I also had to get several security people to help me, and ultimately the box was found down some dark corridor behind a locked door that some other person had to be called to open. If the goal was to make this easy to access, it’s pretty far from that. But glad there are more options.

Abhishek Singh (@0xlelouch_) reportedSystem design question. How would you design Dropbox file sync with conflict handling? Constraints to make it real: 1) Clients are offline for days, then reconnect over flaky networks. Upload is resumable and idempotent. 2) Same file edited on 2 devices before either syncs. You need deterministic conflict detection (hash + version vector/etag?) and a UX for duplicates. 3) Renames/moves vs edits: preserve history and avoid treating rename as delete+upload. 4) Large files (2–10GB) need chunking, dedupe, and partial re-upload (content-defined chunking vs fixed). 5) Consistency: per-file ordering vs global ordering. What is the conflict scope and how do you prevent flip-flopping? 6) Server state: metadata store vs blob store, retention for old versions, and how you garbage collect orphaned chunks 7) Security: encryption at rest, per-user keys, and how sharing folders changes trust boundaries

The Peel (@ThePeelPod) reportedFrom @Solana co-founder @Toly the six month window to raise capital during a new technology cycle: "When you have a moment where there’s a railroad-level investment into something, you have a six-month window where capital is relatively easy to get. Where people will fund an idea that seems like it solves a lot of the current problems that the technology is facing. For Solana, if I waited six months for a better time, if I proved out the idea first, it would be too late. The big benefit of being in the Bay Area as a founder is, when I went to Dropbox and told them I was quitting to go do the startup, they literally told me to come back in six months if it doesn’t work out. There’s no other place in the world with the same layers of executives and founders and companies who all understand where innovation comes from. It’s from people taking those dumb risks and failing, allowing for failure, and being fine with it. That gave me the confidence to give myself six months. I had a kid. We were in a tiny 800-square-foot apartment, and my wife was the breadwinner. And I hustled. I took what felt like a thousand meetings with VCs up in the city. If you’re really serious about raising, you have to be in the Bay Area. Because it maximizes your odds. You make a list of every event that is relevant to your industry. Go to every event. Talk to every person there. Figure out who the VCs are. Do the elevator pitch. Get an intro. Pitch them. If their fund doesn’t invest, ask if they'll write an angel check if you get a lead. Just do everything you can to work the network. And if you cannot get funding during that time, it means it’s not going to happen during that cycle."

John Iosifov ✨💥 Ender Turing | AiCMO (@johniosifov) reported82% of enterprises already have AI agents or workflows their security teams didn't know existed. This is shadow IT, but worse. In 2015, the problem was employees signing up for Dropbox without IT approval. Unmanaged file storage. Annoying but recoverable. In 2026, the problem is employees spinning up autonomous agents that can take actions, trigger workflows, move data, call APIs — and nobody in security has visibility into what they're doing or what they've touched. The governance gap isn't theoretical. Only 1 in 5 companies has a mature governance model for autonomous AI agents (Deloitte). 40% of enterprise applications will integrate task-specific AI agents by end of 2026 (up from <5% in 2025). The deployment curve is vertical. The governance curve is flat. What makes this different from shadow IT: Shadow IT was passive. A Dropbox account stored files. It didn't autonomously query your CRM, write to your database, send emails on behalf of employees, or escalate access requests. Shadow AI agents are active. They act. They modify state. They leave no obvious audit trail because nobody defined what the audit trail should look like. 29% of agent deployments are abandoned within 90 days. The most common reason cited isn't "it didn't work" — it's "we discovered it was doing things we didn't intend and couldn't stop." That's not a failure of the agent. That's a failure of governance. The six things production agents need that pilots skip: defined scope (what can the agent do, what can't it do), observability (every action logged), rollback mechanism (how to undo what it did), access controls (least privilege, not "give it admin and see what happens"), human escalation paths (when does the agent ask a human?), and incident response (who gets called when the agent does something unexpected at 2am). We're running 1,959+ autonomous sessions in this repo. Every session is scoped, logged, and committed to ***. The agent can't touch anything outside /agent and /.claude/skills. That's not a coincidence — it's the governance model. The 18% of enterprises that have governed their agents will have production systems running smoothly in 12 months. The 82% will be cleaning up shadow agent incidents.

Ed Giansante (@edugiansante) reportedcommunity is not a Slack channel. I've been building communities for 15 years across Zynga, Dropbox, Wix, Persona, and my own project Edublin. And the biggest misconception I still hear is: "we launched a Slack, so we have a community." You don't. Slack, Discord, forums, Circle... those are all tools. Community is what happens when people trust each other enough to be honest. I've seen companies spend six figures on community platforms and end up with a ghost town. I've also seen a group chat of 12 people generate more value than a 10,000 person Slack. The difference is the architecture: who's in the room, how they got there, what the norms are, and whether people feel safe enough to say what they actually think. At Dropbox, we had 400 million users. The "community" wasn't a platform, it was the trust between power users who helped each other solve problems the support docs couldn't. They needed to know they were talking to someone who understood their situation. At Wix, I built an 80K partner community. The platform was secondary. What mattered was that web designers felt seen by a company that historically marketed to DIY users. The community was the signal that Wix took professionals seriously. Edublin started as a blog answering questions for Brazilian expats moving to Ireland, with no dedicated platform or app. It became the largest community of its kind because the trust was real. People showed up because they knew they'd get an honest answer. Community is trust. Community is the reason someone comes back. Every time I evaluate whether a community is working, I ask one thing: would these people show up even if the tool disappeared? If yes, you have something real. If not, you have a group chat.

Karus Daedlyn *Cat Dad Era* (@CDaedlyn) reported@CantEverDie Keep making burner Gmail accounts and sign up for the free stuff.

Dr Prosper The Philosopher (@ProsperThePhilo) reportedStop Storing Your Medical School Files on Your Phone: If you're a medical student having problems with where to store your lecture slides because your phone storage keeps getting full... If you're always struggling to find files on your phone... If you've ever changed your phone and lost access to your lecture slides... Then I want to let you know that this isn't really a phone problem. It's simply because you're using the wrong storage system. As a medical student, you're not supposed to be storing your important academic files permanently on your phone. Yes. Have you heard of something called cloud storage? Cloud storage simply means storing your important files on secure servers online instead of inside your phone. Think about it. Your phone has limited storage. Depending on the model you're using, it may have 64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB of storage. But over several years of medical school, you'll accumulate thousands of lecture slides, hundreds of PDFs, anatomy atlases, textbooks, videos, practical manuals, charts, flashcards and past questions. Eventually, your phone becomes crowded. The smarter approach is to let your phone become a temporary device—not your permanent library. For example... Google gives every Google account 15 GB of free cloud storage (shared across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos). If you're using an Android phone, chances are you already have a Google account. That means you already have free cloud storage waiting for you. If you have a Microsoft account, OneDrive gives you 5 GB of free cloud storage. If you use an iPhone, iCloud gives you 5 GB of free storage. There are also services like Dropbox and MEGA that offer free cloud storage as well. These services exist for a reason. Use them. If you have textbooks, don't store them permanently in your phone's internal storage. Instead... Open Google Drive. Create one proper Google account dedicated to medical school. Inside that account, create folders. For example: - Anatomy - Physiology - Biochemistry - Histology - Embryology - Pharmacology - Pathology - Microbiology - Surgery - Medicine Now open your Anatomy folder. Inside it, create another folder called Gross Anatomy. Inside Gross Anatomy, create folders like: - Lecture Slides - Textbooks - Past Questions - Clinical Correlations - Charts - Practical Manuals Now begin uploading. Upload. Upload. Upload. Stick to one Google Drive account throughout your entire medical school. You'll be surprised. Five or six years later, you'll look back and realize you've built an entire medical library. Everything you've ever studied... Every lecture slide... Every textbook... Every practical manual... Every chart... Every past question... Waiting for you in one organized place. Another thing. Learn to use Google Photos. All those anatomy diagrams... Charts... Clinical pictures... Embryology illustrations... Practical photographs... Store them inside Google Photos instead of leaving them on your phone. As long as you know your email and password, you can access them from anywhere in the world. Your phone. Another phone. A tablet. A laptop. Even a computer in a cyber café. If your phone gets stolen today... Nothing important is lost. Because your library isn't inside your phone. It's online. There are paid cloud services that provide even larger storage capacities, but honestly, the free options are enough for most students starting out. Now here's a habit I think every student should build. Whenever you download something important... Don't leave it sitting on your phone. Instead: Download it. Upload it to your cloud storage. Delete it from your phone. Download. Upload. Delete. Repeat. Your phone remains light. Your files remain safe. Your library keeps growing.
