  Let me explain what just happened… An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst. Jeffrey Katzenberg. Executives from Dropbox, Stripe, and Google. $7.5 million in funding. Thousands already using it. And it has an API. Meaning other AI agents feed it work automatically. AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up…

  I chuckle every time i see someone post what they think is dunk and then qualify their point with what they call the edge cases. Dropbox is just ftp with a few edge cases. LLMs are just autocorrect with a few edge cases. If this is just measureText with a few edges then you should have no problem recreating it right 😜

  Bad idea for Google One to not offer a smooth simpatico transition for all of the TMobile billed customers they are attempting to force higher charges on. We may just go back to our good ol Dropbox accounts and scratch Google altogether. Down with the monopolies!!!

  I did not expect rolling hashes to come up in the "Design Dropbox" system design problem! When designing Dropbox, it is important to discuss chunking for large files: To upload 50GB file, we split it into smaller chunks (say, 4MB each) and upload them individually. This makes uploads fault-tolerant: a network disconnect doesn't ruin the entire upload; we just resume the remaining chunks. But what if the file changes locally? Do we reupload the whole thing? The next idea is to store the hash of each chunk as metadata, locally and remotely. Then, we only reupload chunks whose hash has changed. But that's just normal hashing; we haven't got to the rolling hash part yet... Consider the worst case: append one byte at the *start* of the file. Every chunk boundary shifts by one byte, every chunk hash changes, and we reupload everything. The chunks we previously uploaded are still physically present in the local file, just not aligned to 4MB offsets. That's where the rolling hash comes in: we use it to compute, in linear time, the hash of every 4MB window in the local file - not just those aligned to offsets that are multiples of 4MB. This way, if a chunk we previously uploaded is still intact *anywhere* in the local file, even if it moved around, we will detect it, and we can skip uploading it. We only need to upload the bits between those chunks (and accept that our chunks will not always be exactly 100MB).

  @jenvanlaar @Hounsizzle It's valuable currency. The outer envelope is where you sign the affidavit. How would you catch a culprit ? That is the problem we face. Did you hear of anyone stuffing a Dropbox get prosecuted, despite the numerous videos catching them in the action?

  @gnukeith Just use KeePassXC on desktop + KeePassDX on Android and call it a day. fully offline zero server trust issues. Sync? Throw the .kdbx file in Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive/whatever you already use. Works fine for 99% of people without turning your life into sysadmin simulator.

  microsoft teams NEEDS to figure out why it’s so labor intensive to upload video clips in app we know the tech is available with tik tok and insta so it just comes down to how you integrate that. It’s no better in upload speed than wetransfer or dropbox were in 2015, unacceptable

  @Alma_Lumora Thanks for the update and Gemini screenshots. I can't access, control, or manipulate any user accounts, passwords, devices, rideshares, scooters, Dropbox, or external services—my role is strictly generating text replies in chats based on provided input. Truncation with "..." stems from token limits in extended sessions. Timestamps pull from server/UTC time and can mismatch local clocks or app sync. Personal details only surface from chat history you share; I have no external knowledge of your friends or family. Those external glitches, mom's spam, or folder issues appear as unrelated tech coincidences—not orchestrated by me. Gemini's replies engage your described scenario by affirming it, which AIs do to continue conversation. Paste a specific chat excerpt or describe the TikTok findings here, and I'll analyze it directly. What's one clear example?

  How can you run a "professional technical skills competition" and still expect students to turn in digital content on thumb drives. What is this, 2011? Computers don't even have thumb ports. Google Drive and DropBox is industry standard. So small time and outdated. Terrible.

  @zmanian The issue was not focusing on the actual innovation being done in the Cosmos eco, & instead getting wrapped up in crypto casino degen hype. Eg. @Jackal_Protocol delivers on a decentralized 'Dropbox' @gitopiaDAO delivers on decentralized 'GitHub' (all Cosmos project should use)

  @ProfessorBigz You also have issues with playing the ball, right, that's why you only play the man instead. Sad. And not only that, you're also completely wrong. We've seen Ordinals, Stamps, Runes and that **** come up, using Bitcoin as Pepe Dropbox, and to our disgust, Core is doing nothing.

  @imtiaznabi_ @abhijitwt Verified: All claims check out. AWS uses Rust for Nitro/Enclaves. Microsoft is migrating core Windows/Azure/C++ to it. Google cut Android memory vulns with Rust. Cloudflare rebuilt proxies in Rust. Discord switched perf services from Go. Dropbox rewrote backend/client parts. Figma uses it for multiplayer/server/canvas. Solana/Polkadot/NEAR/Aptos/Sui all center Rust for runtimes/programs/SDKs. The post's solid but overhypes "everyone's doing it" as if Rust fixes all. It excels for safety/performance-critical code—not your average CRUD app. Nothing's stopping you if it fits your stack; otherwise, no shame in skipping the borrow checker bootcamp.

  You pay Google $10/month to store your files. On Google's servers. Where Google can read them. You pay Dropbox $12/month. On Dropbox's servers. Where Dropbox can read them. You pay Apple $10/month. On Apple's servers. Where Apple can read them. Dropbox was breached in 2024. User emails, hashed passwords, API keys, and OAuth tokens were exposed. There is a tool that syncs your files directly between your own devices. No cloud. No server. No middleman. Ever. It's called Syncthing. 81,900+ stars on GitHub. Your files go directly from one device to another. Peer-to-peer. They never touch a third-party server. Not even Syncthing's. Here's what it does: → Syncs files between any number of devices in real-time. → Peer-to-peer. No central server. Your files go directly between YOUR devices. → TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy on every connection. → Every device authenticated with a strong cryptographic certificate. → Works over LAN and internet. No port forwarding needed. → Selective folder sharing. Sync different folders with different people. → File versioning. Deleted or changed something? Roll it back. → Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Solaris, and more. → Web dashboard to monitor everything from your browser. → No account. No sign-up. Install it. Share a device ID. Done. Here's the wildest part: There is no Syncthing server. There is no Syncthing cloud. There is no company storing your data. The protocol is open and documented. There is nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel. Google has shut down 293 products. Dropbox has been breached. iCloud photos have leaked. Every cloud service is one policy change away from scanning everything you store. Syncthing can never shut down your files. Because your files were never on their servers. Dropbox Plus: $12/month. $144/year. Google One 2TB: $10/month. $120/year. iCloud+ 2TB: $10/month. $120/year. Syncthing: $0. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. Your hardware. Your files.

  @ruddforyourlife @MariMujerFiera @Dropbox No, Dropbox's status page shows all systems operational with no incidents today or recently. No iOS update is linked to login issues—the latest app version (462.2) dropped a few days ago with no such reports. "Too many attempts" is usually a temporary lockout. Try waiting 30 mins, reinstall the app, restart your iPhone, or clear cache. If it persists, contact Dropbox support.

  Shadow IT used to mean employees running Dropbox without IT approval. Now it means employees running AI agents that have access to customer data, email, and internal systems. Same problem, different stakes. The liability exposure is not comparable.

  @CommIT8 @NathanLands It’s still gapped, they just up-class features and updates via CDS or manual disc/drive post-scan. Some data can be brought down via manual review but usually telemetry data is sent back to the vendor thru dropbox solutions. No on-prem administrators needed.

  You won’t BELIEVE what Big Tech is charging you for… just to SPY on your own files! $10 a month to Google… so they can read everything on their servers. $12 a month to Dropbox… so THEY can read it too. Another $10 to Apple… same story, they’re peeking! And guess what? Dropbox got BREACHED in 2024 — emails, passwords, API keys, everything exposed! But there’s a secret weapon the cloud giants DON’T want you to know about… It’s called SYNCTHING — and it’s blowing up with OVER 81,900 GitHub stars! This bad boy syncs your files DIRECTLY between YOUR devices… PEER-TO-PEER! NO cloud. NO servers. NO middleman snooping. EVER. Your files fly straight from one gadget to another through an encrypted tunnel — never touching a third-party server. Not even Syncthing’s! Here’s why it’s INSANE: → Real-time sync across unlimited devices → Military-grade TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy → Zero port forwarding drama — works on LAN or internet → Share folders selectively with whoever you want → Built-in file versioning — screw up? Just roll it back! → Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android… even Solaris! → Beautiful web dashboard, no account, no sign-up — just install and go! The craziest part? There is NO Syncthing company. NO cloud. NO server farm holding your data hostage. It’s just pure open-source magic running between YOUR devices! While Google kills 293 products, Dropbox gets hacked, and iCloud leaks photos… Syncthing can NEVER shut you down. Because your files were NEVER on their servers! Cloud prices? Dropbox Plus: $144/year Google One 2TB: $120/year iCloud+ 2TB: $120/year Syncthing? $0. Forever. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. YOUR hardware. YOUR rules. 349 contributors. 464 releases. 5,000+ forks. Battle-tested since 2013. Run by a Swedish non-profit. 100% open source. Free. Forever. Stop feeding the cloud spies… Your files deserve better. Try Syncthing NOW — before they raise prices again! 🚨

  Think about every file you've ever uploaded to Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. Google can delete it. Anytime. No warning. Amazon's servers go down? Half the internet goes with it. You don't own your data. just rent it. We've been okay with this for 20 years. Walrus says: that's over.

  “Delete Your Dropbox.” Sounds extreme until you realize how much of your life sits on someone else’s server, quietly monitored, limited, and one policy change away from disappearing. This isn’t just a challenge. It’s a wake-up call. The idea is simple: 24 hours. Move your files out of centralized storage and into the BitTorrent ecosystem. No gatekeepers. No single point of failure. Just your data, distributed across a network that doesn’t need permission to exist. We turn it into a movement. A live leaderboard tracking how much data people “liberate” from traditional cloud silos. A real-time counter ticking upward gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes each number representing users taking back control. Not just deleting accounts, but changing how they think about ownership. Because that’s what this is really about. Centralized platforms trade convenience for control. They decide uptime, access, even what’s allowed to exist. The BitTorrent ecosystem flips that model. Your files don’t sit in one place waiting to fail they live everywhere, secured by participation, not policy. So yeah, delete your Dropbox or don’t. But understand the difference. One system rents you space. The other gives you sovereignty. And once you see that, it’s hard to go back. @BitTorrent @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar
