Dropbox and the Hack...Yeah you now have 3GB!!

Among the various cloud storage provider I like Dropbox for its drop-dead simpleness. Even more than what Box.net supports. And I use it for many purposes.
It has a free2GB scheme with a very competitive pricing. But even then how would it be to get some space free!!

Dropbox is without a doubt the most popular online file storage and desktop syncing solution. By default, users get 2GB of free space when they sign up for a Dropbox account. Considering the popularity and usefulness of Dropbox, I am pretty sure everyone here would wants to increase their storage space for free, if possible. The Dropbox referral system is a nice way of increasing your storage space for free, but the problem is that in this age and time nearly everyone owns a Dropbox account.



Last year, HTC announced that it would be offering up to 5GB of free space on Dropbox with its Sense 3.5 based handsets. This year, the company announced that it would be offering a whopping 25GB of free storage space on Dropbox for 2 years with its One series of handsets. So yeah, if you own a Sense 3.5/4.0 based phone from HTC, chances are you have more than enough free space on your Dropbox account.
Now, one XDA member – theos0o – has modified the Dropbox APK file that ships with Sense 3.5 handsets. The modified APK file is tricked into identifying non-HTC Android handsets as an HTC branded one, which then increases your Dropbox account storage space by 3GB for 12 months. Yeah, that last bit is a bit saddening, but even then 3GB of free space on Dropbox for 12 months for free is pretty damn useful.
So what are you waiting for? The modified Dropbox APK file can be downloaded from here. If you already have the Dropbox app installed on your handset, un-install it, and install the modified APK and sign in. You Dropbox account will then automatically get credited with the free 3GB of storage space. When done, you can uninstall the modified Dropbox APK file and install the latest version from the Android Market again.

Curious case of Cisco AnyConnect and WSL2

One thing Covid has taught me is the importance of VPN. Also one other thing COVID has taught me while I work from home  is that your Windows Machine can be brilliant  as long as you have WSL2 configured in it. So imagine my dismay when I realized I cannot access my University resources while being inside the University provided VPN client. Both of the institutions I have affiliation with, requires me to use VPN software which messes up WSL2 configuration (which of course I realized at 1:30 AM). Don't get me wrong, I have faced this multiple times last two years (when I was stuck in India), and mostly I have been lazy and bypassed the actual problem by side-stepping with my not-so-noble  alternatives, which mostly include one of the following: Connect to a physical machine exposed to the internet and do an ssh tunnel from there (not so reliable since this is my actual box sitting at lab desk, also not secure enough) Create a poor man's socks proxy in that same box to have...

Deep Dive into the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK): Features and Code Examples

In our previous overview, we introduced the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) as a powerful Python framework for building sophisticated AI agents. Now, let's dive deeper into some of the specific features that make ADK a compelling choice for developers looking to create agents that can reason, plan, use tools, and interact effectively with the world. 1. The Core: Configuring the `LlmAgent` The heart of most ADK applications is the LlmAgent (aliased as Agent for convenience). This agent uses a Large Language Model (LLM) for its core reasoning and decision-making. Configuring it effectively is key: name (str): A unique identifier for your agent within the application. model (str | BaseLlm): Specify the LLM to use. You can provide a model name string (like 'gemini-1.5-flash') or an instance of a model class (e.g., Gemini() ). ADK resolves string names using its registry. instruction (str | Callable): This is crucial for guiding the agent's be...

Build Smarter AI Agents Faster: Introducing the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)

The world is buzzing about AI agents – intelligent entities that can understand goals, make plans, use tools, and interact with the world to get things done. But building truly capable agents that go beyond simple chatbots can be complex. You need to handle Large Language Model (LLM) interactions, manage conversation state, give the agent access to tools (like APIs or code execution), orchestrate complex workflows, and much more. Introducing the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) , a comprehensive Python framework from Google designed to significantly simplify the process of building, testing, deploying, and managing sophisticated AI agents. Whether you're building a customer service assistant that interacts with your internal APIs, a research agent that can browse the web and summarize findings, or a home automation hub, ADK provides the building blocks you need. Core Concepts: What Makes ADK Tick? ADK is built around several key concepts that make agent development more s...
