After paying $720/yr, then $840, then being told it would be over $900 this year, I wasn’t really happy about the cost of using Dropbox. But it’s been rock solid for many years and was heavily integrated into my company’s workflow, so I smiled and bent over.
Until they took away the unlimited storage. I was using 31TB, and they wanted to put me at 15TB with no option to upgrade even if I wanted to.
I already had an on-site NAS, so I bought another for $3k (with drives) and asked a family member in another state to house it. I’m using Resilio to sync everything. It’s been backing up for a couple of months and probably has a couple more to go. So far I’m happy with the decision.
I have to imagine I’m not the only one making this move. Even if they fix the problem, I’m not going back. It’s far cheaper to keep a customer than to win a new one. Hopefully they learn their lesson.
4·6 days agoI always appreciate stats, so point taken. That said, Utah isn’t a major swing state where we expect these efforts to take place.
Republicans have been trying to minimize the blue shift in swing states by rejecting as many mail-in ballots as possible for a variety of reasons.
In the 2020 presidential contest, Pennsylvania election officials rejected more than 34,000 mail ballots. In a tight 2024 election in the most coveted swing state, even a fraction of that many rejections could spell the difference between victory and defeat — not just in the presidential race, but also in any number of others.
What’s true in Pennsylvania is true, to varying degrees, in other battleground states. Michigan rejected more than 20,000 mail ballots in 2020 and even more in 2022; Arizona turned down 7,700; Nevada 5,600; and Wisconsin about 3,000.

And they want to reject provisional ballots…
And military ballots …
If the advantage shifts because of women voting in private, I believe we will see Republicans take effort to make in-person voting more difficult.
You want hypocrisy? Wait until you see the 180° flip on mail-in voting after this election. They’ve been telling us for five years that mail-in ballots are all fraudulent. Now that Democrats are telling women they can use in-person voting to undermine their husbands, I guarantee they will push to make mail-in voting far easier and shut down more polling places.
3D chess my ass.
No fucking way! I also thought it was a joke. But tan suits, that’s the real problem.
The appropriate punishment should be as simple as getting voted out of office. The fact that people who do this get re-elected is the result of the bitter, hateful, uninformed constituents who want this type of bigoted legislation and wasted resources. It’s sadly what the majority of people living in Florida want.

Plus, he’s convinced he “doesn’t need the votes” to win, so why give up on any VP pick? If he’s going to push fake electors and sew chaos to win, he doesn’t need popular opinions or people.
Honest question: What free fall? It seems the polls have barely moved beyond the margin of error, even if that subtle shift is in Harris’s favor. Am I missing out on Republicans criticizing Vance? I’ve really only heard it coming from the left.
The only reason Google is still my default search engine on desktop is …. dates.
I’m a dev and the date next to each search result helps me skip a ton of irrelevant links and get to the ones that most likely apply to my situation. DDG and other search engines usually don’t show any dates.
I’ve sent feedback to DDG on this but obviously that had no impact. If they add dates, I’m done with Google.
On mobile I still use DDG since my searches are generally not date specific.
