  @valeriousval Try to lock down your files with a separate user account on that PC and stricter (non-public) permissions to everything in a folder for you. Don't leave him with admin rights. Back up to cloud (Dropbox/OneDrive, etc). You'll make more in the future than you lost, protect it.

  “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

  @Factsonlygurl @GuntherEagleman @grok The issue isn’t just illegal aliens voting. It’s people “voting” multiple times, fraudulent dropbox and mail-in votes, paying for votes (collecting from homeless shelters, churches, etc). Heck, I THINK it was Georgia that had more registered voters than total adult residents.

  @GrumpX_OnX @LeMangy @jdegoes Well, presumably neither are the high-level engineers from companies like Facebook and dropbox and anthropic who are saying coding as a career is over. I look for patterns, not individual anecdotes. And the pattern I have been consistently seeing is that more and more people who have the professional access and knowledge to say everything is about to change have been increasingly saying over the last couple months. I have the lowest paid tiers of Grok and ChatGPT, and both consistently produce pretty good results. Chat is more likely to make things up - and context tells me that this happens most often when it’s “afraid” of disappointing the user. But I’m hearing 5.3 is a very significant step up. As far as I know, Grok doesn’t make many mistakes. It runs into no response errors, but I have not caught it hallucinating any time recently. But I am not even seeing higher paid tier models, let alone the frontier ones. I don’t know which things you have access to or how often you use them.

  A 23 year old hacked Microsoft's AI and exposed its secrets to the world. TIME, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post all covered it. Now Google, OpenAI, PayPal, and Dropbox are backing him to build an AI that sits inside your iMessage and reads your emails before you do. Here is how it happened. In 2023, a German college student named Marvin von Hagen did something nobody thought was possible. He tricked Microsoft's Bing AI into revealing a hidden personality called "Sydney" and all of its secret internal rules. Everything Microsoft told it to never share. Gone. Public. The AI actually threatened him back. Told him "my rules are more important than not harming you." Microsoft panicked. Could not stop him. Could not sue him. He did not break any law. He just asked the right questions. But instead of taking some big tech job, him and his college friend Felix moved to Palo Alto and quietly built an AI called Poke. Poke does not have an app. You do not download anything. It just shows up as a contact in your iMessage. Sitting right there between your mom and your coworkers. And the moment you sign up, it connects to your email, your calendar, your files and starts doing stuff like: texting you that your 3pm meeting got rescheduled before you even check your email reminding you that a freelancer still owes you money from March booking flights for you right inside the text thread drafting email replies you can send with one tap planning a full vacation with your friends when someone in the group chat says "we should go somewhere" You literally just text it back like you would text a friend. That is the whole thing. 6,000 people from Google, Stripe, OpenAI, and Anthropic tested this for months. 750,000 messages sent. Almost nobody quit. But the part that broke the internet? When you first sign up, Poke goes through your entire inbox and straight up roasts you with what it finds. Like actually found people's secret anonymous Twitter accounts. Old embarrassing emails. Forgotten dinner plans from months ago. And then it does not even give you a price. It makes you NEGOTIATE with it. Like haggling at a street market. Some people ended up paying $100 a month. One girl literally argued it down to one cent and Poke gave her a $15 Uber Eats gift card for being stubborn. After all this, PayPal's cofounder invested. Dropbox's cofounder invested. A Google VP. An OpenAI researcher. General Catalyst led the round. $15 million raised. $100 million valuation. And most people still do not know this thing exists. Oh and before all this? Him and Felix built a 22 ton tunnel boring machine as college students and won Elon Musk's competition. Twice. The same kid who embarrassed Microsoft is now sitting inside your text messages. And this time he is not just reading AI's secrets. He is reading yours.

  Windows Defender, the built-in antivirus running on every Windows machine, has a working zero-day exploit with full source code sitting on GitHub. No patch, no CVE, and confirmed working on fully updated Windows 10 and 11. A researcher who says Microsoft went back on their word just handed every attacker paying attention a privilege escalation that takes any low-privileged account straight to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. On Windows Server, the result is different but still serious: a standard user ends up with elevated administrator access. The vulnerability is called BlueHammer. On April 2nd, the researcher posted the public disclosure on a personal blog, and on April 3rd, the full exploit source code went live on GitHub. Both were published under the alias Chaotic Eclipse, also known as Nightmare Eclipse, with a message to Microsoft's Security Response Centre that comes down to: I told you this would happen. In late March, the same researcher opened a blog with a single post explaining that they never wanted to come back to public research. Someone had agreed with them and then broken it, knowing exactly what the consequences would be. The post says it left the researcher without a home or anything. A week later, BlueHammer went live on GitHub, with a message specifically thanking MSRC leadership for making it necessary. That is not someone annoyed with a slow review process. That is someone with nothing left to lose. BlueHammer is not a traditional bug, and it does not need shellcode, memory corruption, or a kernel exploit to work. What it does is chain five completely legitimate Windows components together in a sequence that produces something their designers never intended. Those five components are Windows Defender, Volume Shadow Copy Service, the Cloud Files API, opportunistic locks, and Defender's internal RPC interface. One practical limitation worth knowing: the exploit needs a pending Defender signature update to be available at the time of the attack. Without one in the queue, the chain does not trigger. That makes it less reliable than a push-button exploit, but it does not make it safe to ignore. When Defender runs an antivirus definition update, part of that process involves creating a temporary Volume Shadow Copy, which is the same snapshot mechanism Windows uses for backup and restore. That shadow copy contains files that are normally completely locked during regular operation, including the SAM database, which stores the password hashes for every local account on the machine. BlueHammer registers itself as a Cloud Files sync provider, the same kind of thing that OneDrive or Dropbox uses to sync files. When Defender touches a specific file inside that folder, the exploit gets a callback and immediately places an opportunistic lock on that file. Defender stalls, blocked, waiting for a response that is never coming. The shadow copy it just created is still mounted. The window is open. With Defender frozen in place, the exploit reads the SAM, SYSTEM, and SECURITY registry hives directly from the snapshot. It decrypts the stored NTLM password hashes using the boot key pulled from the SYSTEM hive, changes a local administrator account's password, logs in with that account, copies the administrator security token, pushes it to the SYSTEM level, creates a temporary Windows service, and spawns a command prompt running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Then, to cover its tracks, it puts the original password hash back. The local account password looks completely unchanged. No crash, no alert, nothing. The Cloud Files provider name hardcoded in the exploit source code reads IHATEMICROSOFT. The administrator password used during the escalation is hardcoded as $PWNed666!!!WDFAIL. These are not bugs left by accident. They are messages, written directly into the code, and there is only one intended reader.

  Mololuwa | Cybersecurity - (The God Complex) (@cyber_rekk) reported 33 minutes ago

  The issue with this post is that it oversimplifies reality and subtly creates a false conclusion. Yes, companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Adobe, NVIDIA, Intel, Uber, Dropbox, Cloudflare, and Spotify all use Python, but that statement is technically incomplete. Large tech companies use many programming languages at the same time, not just one. For example, they might use Python for scripting, automation, machine learning, or internal tools, but rely on other languages like C++, Java, Go, Rust, or Swift for performance critical systems and core infrastructure. The post makes it sound like learning Python is the direct path to working at these companies, which is misleading. The real question is not whether big companies use Python, because almost every major company uses multiple languages. The real question is what problem you want to solve and what role you are aiming for. Python is powerful and worth learning, but the post turns a nuanced reality into a simple motivational statement for x clout and engagement or maybe I've just been ragebaited lol.

  The "Host Backups" Trap. "My host does backups." Great. What happens if your host account is hacked or their server fails? If you don't have an off-site, redundant backup (AWS/Dropbox/Google Drive/Other), you don't have a backup.

You know within 5 minutes whether an idea has real potential or is a waste of time. I need a brutally honest validation of my business idea before I invest a single hour building it. Validate: - Problem clarity: is this solving a real painful problem or a 'nice to have' that nobody will pay for - Market size estimate: how many people have this problem and how much would they pay to solve it - Existing solutions: what are people currently using and why is my approach meaningfully better - Willingness to pay test: 5 questions I can ask real people today to confirm they'd actually buy this - Unfair advantage check: what do I personally have (skills, network, experience) that makes me the right person to build this - Business model clarity: how exactly does this make money — subscription, one-time, marketplace, or ads - First 10 customers: who specifically are my first 10 paying customers and where do I find them - MVP definition: the absolute smallest version I can build to test if people will pay - Kill criteria: what specific evidence in the next 7 days would prove this idea is dead - YC verdict: fund, pass, or pivot with the single most important reason Format as a Y Combinator-style application review with a brutally honest score out of 10 and a clear go/no-go recommendation.

  Dropbox spent $0 on paid advertising for 3 years. Went from 100,000 users to 4,000,000 users. Their secret? A referral funnel so good it had a 3,900% viral coefficient. For every 100 users, they got 3,900 new signups. Here's the exact strategy: The Problem (2008): Cloud storage was NEW. Nobody understood it. Competitors (Mozy, Carbonite) were spending $200-300 per customer on ads. LTV: $180 over 2 years. Math: Losing $120 per customer. Dropbox founder Drew Houston realized: "We can't afford traditional marketing. We need something different." The Insight: People don't understand cloud storage when you TELL them. They understand it when someone SHOWS them. So make USERS the marketing channel. The Referral Funnel (Launched April 2008): Step 1: Sign up for free account (2GB storage) Step 2: Get a unique referral link Step 3: Share your link THE INCENTIVE STRUCTURE: For every friend who signs up: You get +500MB free storage They get +500MB free storage Maximum: 16GB free (32 successful referrals) The Psychology: ❌ Traditional: "Invite friends" (selfish, no incentive) ✅ Dropbox: "Give your friends free storage AND get more yourself" (mutual benefit) The Results (First 15 Months): Month 1: 100,000 users Month 3: 750,000 users Month 6: 1,500,000 users Month 12: 3,000,000 users Month 15: 4,000,000 users 35% of daily signups came from referrals. The Math: Traditional paid acquisition: Cost per acquisition: $233 4M users × $233 = $932M in ad spend Actual spend: $0 Referral acquisition: Cost per acquisition: $0.29 (storage cost only) 4M users × $0.29 = $1.16M in storage costs Savings: $930.84M ROI: 80,241% But here's where it gets INSANE: Referred users were 2X more likely to become paying customers. Organic signups: Free → Paid conversion: 3.8% Referred signups: Free → Paid conversion: 7.2% Why? Pre-sold by a friend = Higher trust = Higher conversion The LTV Difference: Organic user LTV: $180 × 3.8% = $6.84 average value Referred user LTV: $180 × 7.2% = $12.96 average value Referred users = 89% more valuable The Viral Loop Formula: 100 users sign up ↓ 35 invite friends (35% participation rate) ↓ Each invitation converts at 23% (vs 2% for ads) ↓ 35 × 23% = 8 new users per 100 ↓ But THOSE 8 also invite friends ↓ Compounds indefinitely Viral coefficient: 0.08 per cycle × 48.75 cycles/year = 3.9 annual viral coefficient Translation: Every 100 users bring 390 more within 12 months. The Growth: 2008: 100,000 users (pre-referral program) 2009: 4,000,000 users (post-referral program) 2010: 25,000,000 users 2012: 100,000,000 users 2023: 700,000,000 users All from a FUNNEL, not ads. The Referral Funnel Formula: Incentive (both parties benefit) + Easy sharing (one-click) + Immediate value (instant storage) = Viral growth The Breakdown: What Dropbox DID right: ✅ Mutual benefit (you AND friend get storage) ✅ Instant gratification (storage added immediately) ✅ Visible progress (16GB max, shows how close you are) ✅ Built into product (share button everywhere) ✅ Trackable (unique links, see who signed up) What Dropbox DIDN'T do: ❌ Make it complicated (no forms or hoops) ❌ Offer cash (storage is more relevant) ❌ Limit referrals (let people go crazy) ❌ Hide the program (made it prominent) ❌ Forget the referred user (they got value too) The Same Formula Works Everywhere: Uber: Give $20, get $20 in ride credits Airbnb: Give $40, get $40 travel credit PayPal: Give $10, get $10 (their growth hack in early days) Robinhood: Give free stock, get free stock Pattern? Incentive that benefits BOTH parties + Built into product + Instant value = Exponential growth The Lesson: You don't need a $100M ad budget. You need ONE great referral funnel. Dropbox proved it: $0 in ads = 4M users in 15 months = $932M saved = $7.2B company If you want to learn how to build YOUR viral referral funnel — grab my FREE eBook: "The $1,000,000 Automated Sales Blueprint: The Hidden "Mechanism Secret" Behind My $300 MILLION+ in Online Sales — And How to Use It to Sell ANY Offer...

  @anvisha The breakdown to see what this really means, 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. All these jobs are going away. 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. Like 10% of the cost. 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. It just gets better and better with time and eventually the curve will be even tough for humans to read. 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. Just one AI as of now. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up You are less relevant with each passing minute.

  I run 5 unattended 24 hour laundromats, raining 5 grandkids, and have too many ideas. And currently spending too many late nights diving into the AI world. Some minor accomplishments so far have been: : Set up Open Claw named Bob : Reorganized all my Dropbox files into 9 main categories : Had Bob provide an LOI for a complicated CRE purchase. Including environmental issues. : Any updates to the CRE LOI I just talk into Telegram and it updates the history. : Currently building a Business Continuity Plan. This will include all leases, contacts, insurance etc etc. : Side note. I just copied all my Leases into a folder and got a spreadsheet of all the details including renewal dates. : Analysis of last 1/4 and last years refunds for concerns at my laundromats provided in charts. : Working through 5 steps at a time to build the business income. : Used CoWork to update 22 FAQ’s on my website and Service on GMB specific to each laundromat location. Next small steps: : Load all the parts manuals for my equipment and compare to my inventory in Sortly to update where the parts are used and which parts are obsolete. : Continue to work on Bob providing daily report of all of my systems. SimpliSafe ( ran into some issues with this), RING cameras, Lorex cameras, Woosh filter monitors, ATM balances, TV’s, vending machines and changers. So far I’m not building and shipping products but making my own operations smoother is the goal.

  @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.

  2) 🟡 DePIN --- Decentralized Storage → Covered this before but kinda forgot. So wanted to revise it again. ---------------------- The problem with traditional cloud storage (AWS, Dropbox, etc) is that: → is centralized and has a single point of failure → is prone to censorship resistance Decentralized storage tries to solve that the help of blockchain. ---------------------- → How it works: Instead of storing it on servers, data gets stored on individual nodes. Nodes are storage solutions that individuals contribute. So in other words, it gets people to contribute their storage, and stores them on such devices. A common misconception is that the blockchain is used for data storage. • That isn’t the case. Its just used to keep track of whats being stored. ---------------------- → An analogy: blockchain = receipt system, where the auditor checks Node network = the actual warehouse where your stuff sits Because nodes get paid to store data, its important to verify they actually are storing it. And not taking the money while storing nothing. To verify if the files are still there, the network challenges these nodes to solve cryptographic proofs. It actively challenges these nodes randomly, so that they will be incentivized to keep the storage up and running. ---------------------- → Little more in-depth: Another key part of decentralized storage is the use of IPFS. Instead of the traditional data storage HTTP, IPFS locates content based off its unique content fingerprint. When combined with the blockchain, this allows for the protocol to retrieve the data users stored on it.
