  AiMind (@AIMind_Ai) reported 3 seconds ago

  A $50 box saves $240 a year on subscriptions and earns $18,000 a year setting it up for clients. No new hardware. Nothing bought at retail. A used office tower. A second-hand drive. One stick of RAM pulled from a dead laptop. The whole build came to 50 dollars. It looks like nothing. Fans humming, one cable to the wall, sitting on a desk next to a coffee cup. The first win is the one nobody talks about. Cloud storage, photo backups, the $20 a month AI plan everyone pays and forgets — all of it moves onto one box you paid for once. 240 dollars a year, gone. The second win is where the money is. Once it runs on your desk, it runs on anyone's. And clients don't pay for parts. They pay to stop bleeding subscriptions. Here's what you actually sell: A private AI trained on their own files, so staff stop pasting company data into a browser. That's $1,500 a setup. A self-hosted file server that kills their Dropbox and Google Workspace bill. $600, plus the relief of never renting storage again. A local automation box that runs invoices, replies, and reports overnight. $900, and it never sends a dollar to a cloud. Then the quiet one: $150 a month to keep it patched and alive. 10 clients on retainer is $1,500 every month before you build a single new one. One setup a week at $1,500 is $18,000 a year. Off hardware other people throw in the bin. I had no degree, no server room, no $2,000 build. Just dead parts and one free weekend. The expensive part of AI was never the compute. It was the monthly bill you agreed to and stopped reading. 50 dollars in. $18,000 out. Same box.

  @ericzakariasson @bot Why do I need to sign in to Dropbox every time I need to do something with it. Create more persistent connectors and please increase limits for premium+ users. It’s not usable after a couple of hours of light use.

  Every once in a while I have one of those moments as an investor where everything just clicks. I had that moment a couple of weeks ago with Leadpoet, $TAO subnet 71. What initially caught my attention was the team. To me, they represent what a Bittensor-first team should look like. They're deeply committed to the ecosystem, they execute quickly, and, most importantly, they seem to understand that in the end none of that matters if you don't build a product customers actually want. The product appears to be working really well. Winning the OKX product competition and attracting an inbound pilot with Dropbox are the latest two independent signals that suggest they're solving a real problem for enterprise sales teams. The opportunity they're pursuing is also enormous. Enterprise sales is a market worth billions, and if Leadpoet continues executing the way it has so far, I genuinely believe they have a realistic path to building an eight-figure revenue business next year. And the best part here is that all of that value ultimately flows back into the token. I've also spent quite a bit of time talking with Gavin over the past few weeks and months. Those conversations gave me a very similar feeling about Leadpoet to the one I had with Score when talking with Max. I don't make that comparison lightly. It's great to see Leadpoet finally getting the attention it deserves, and the recent price action reflects that. Although, if I'm being completely honest, I would have loved one more dip to accumulate a bigger position, and I know I'm not the only one thinking that.

  @DropboxSupport why can I only use one core for indexing? Most machines have MANY nowadays. Download speed is not the issue, it is almost always the ultra-slow indexing that dropbox does with only one CPU core active. Am I seeing this right? Why can we not dedicate 5 or 8 cores to something that really slows down your users?

  I tracked down these messages in @MaxMillerOH’s Dropbox files. They show the parents getting along with no major conflicts beforehand. If Miller said he was going to kill his ex-wife in front of child (likely), it shows a talent for masking rage and hostility.

  @colemickens @Dropbox So if you had a lenovo account with a soecific emial, and a dropbox account had the same email, you could just login with lenovo and it would assume you own the dropbox account?? Insane

  Dropbox rejected billions of dollars of acquisition offers only to later realise down the line that they were building a feature not product. Which other companies show a similar pattern today?

  @BleepinComputer Password and 2FA were both fine here. Neither was in the path, because Dropbox trusted Lenovo's word that the attacker owned the email address. Every federated login is a bet that somebody else's email verification is not broken.

  @DropboxSupport I’m having issues logging in. When I try to login it’s making me sign up when I already have a paid account. This is happening on both the app and my browser. @Dropbox

  Two companies, two correct instincts, and about a billion dollars between the outcomes. In 2007 Dropbox had a problem: the product needed deep operating system integration, so there was no way to demo it without building it first. Drew Houston made a three minute video instead, showing how it would work if it existed, and put it in front of the community most likely to care. The beta waiting list went from five thousand to seventy-five thousand overnight. He knew the demand was real before he wrote the difficult part. Webvan believed something just as sensible. People want groceries delivered. And they were right, which is the part everyone forgets. Instacart and every supermarket delivery service proved it a decade later. But instead of testing it in one city, Webvan committed close to a billion dollars to automated warehouses across multiple markets before knowing whether the economics worked anywhere. It filed for bankruptcy in 2001. Build, measure, learn is three steps. Most of us run the first one over and over and mistake the motion for progress. Shipping is not learning.

  @jgreze @Dropbox Half of every revenue problem is a company being too polite to ask. The intern just asked.

  Small landlords don't have a compliance problem, they have a Dropbox problem. Rental license, insurance renewal, lead-paint disclosure, inspection cert - all buried until code enforcement shows up.
