A.S.A (@AdityaSameer0) reported@kmcnam1 There is nothing great about Yahoo email or Yahoo anything. Persistent login issues even after typing the right password. And then email itself is like a trash can. By the time you find the email you are looking for among the spam you would have wasted entire day. Gmail same👎

Lobster Queen (@RoRoRoRoRose_) reportedIf Gemini was so great, why do you need to shove it down my throat by serving it to me in every single possible way? Why does my Gmail need six different "Try with AI" Buttons, why does Google Docs need five different ways to summon your shitbot? you know you must be failing.

Rafael Aleksandryan (@NoVibeJustOrch) reported@pitdesi He also conspired with others in NIH and outside of it to hide their emails from FOIA requests. "I always try to communicate on gmail because my NIH email is FOIA’d constantly" ...that doesn't sound like an innocent guy, though I agree it's the most sensational issue.

Birdland Metrics (@birdlandmetrics) reportedNot really much good to say about this one tonight. Many have already reported it, but it’s the worst shutout loss for the O’s since 2004, over 20 years ago. For history buffs, 2004 was the year that Gmail was introduced to the world and the Motorola Razr was the hottest cell phone on the market. In short, it’s been a long time since the O’s had a shutout loss that was this bad. The O’s run differential this season was climbing back up to -11 prior to this game. But tonight’s loss completely dismantled it. They are now back down to a -25 run differential on the year and back into the bottom third tier of MLB teams in this category. For the last week, they have oscillated between 3 and 4 games under .500, going L-W-L-W-L-W-L. They’ll need to somehow find a way to bounce back against one of the best pitchers in the league tomorrow. It’ll be a tall task.

Shahid (@azmi_shahid_) reportedDear @GoogleIndia & @GooglePlay, I have formatted my mobile today and I remember the Gmail ID, password and the have number as well, but when I login to the Gmail account, the authentication code (check device popup & choose number) is coming. But the device has been formatted

JMHBM (@JMHBM01) reportedSpeaking of data collection: Following a landmark ruling by the Regional Court of Cologne involving a blackmail case, Tuta was forced to develop a targeted "monitoring function". While the court acknowledged Tuta cannot break its own encryption to reveal stored, historical emails, they ordered Tuta to capture communications at the point of ingress and egress. When an unencrypted email arrives (for example, from a standard Gmail account), it hits Tuta's servers in plain text for a fraction of a second before the server encrypts it. The monitoring function successfully copies this plain text before the encryption occurs.

Buzzing Pop (@BuzzingPop) reportedAriana Grande is seeking court approval to subpoena Internet provider to identify individuals who accessed her unreleased content sold online. Grande claims they allegedly stole a photographer's Dropbox login details and hacked the phone of one of her producers: “The hackers created a Gmail account and internet domain impersonating the photographer and tricked the technician into sending Grande’s materials to them.” (via @THR)

Max Clark (@maxclark) reportedDoes anyone know anyone on the @Google @gmail engineering team? I'd love to be able to report spam and move on with life. Instead you mark spam, then get asked if you want to unsubscribe instead, then you get asked if you want to block the sender, then you're still staring at the message (no-autoadvance or return to inbox). Using "move to spam" as a keyboard action does the exact same thing so that's not a fix. I want to mark a message as spam, have it disappear (instantly), and auto-advance to my next email in my inbox. THINK FAST!!! I'm considering to write an apps-script and a custom folder just to move this to the background.

Thee Brain Freeze (@TheeBrainFreeze) reportedThe new revelation regarding windows GDID probably has pissed off various “3 letter” agencies around the world. It’s been a staple of easily tracking you and I. Too bad. Glad it’s been outed. I’ve switched out the various laptops I use for online activities such as this one for a certain Linux distribution as well as modified their hardware a bit. Yes, you can be tracked by what’s in your computer. Change it around a bit if possible. Don’t use the same box you pay bills and work remotely on to get on social media. -Proton VPN- DON’T EVER use a Microsoft account. Sign into your windows computer with an old school local account. This is a must. You can search for how to do it. Office 365 can be permanently activated on your computer as a local installation. Do it. (Massgrave) Better yet, use Libre Office and enjoy not being tracked by Office 365. I Google scans your Gmail. Be aware of it. There’s better email providers (Proton). Nobody is perfect but some are orders of magnitude less “nosey.” Download DoNotSpy11. You want to turn OFF virtually everything. You’ll be amazed at what you can shut down. Turn OFF your location / eye tracking / motion detection on your laptop if you don’t do anything else. There is at least one windows GDID changer powershell script I tested. It worked. If you sign into a MS account, you’ll get the same GDID right back so don’t use that MS account going forward. Not going into phone safety or Flock cameras or new vehicles in this post. I’ll just say this: Any time your phone/iPad etc is not inside of an rf-proof bag/case, it’s going to talk to something somewhere, even if it is “off.” You can buy those bags on Amazon cheap. Get one. If you have a newer car (on-star) it tells servers where the car is constantly. Review: Learn Linux. It’s open source, not full of spyware. Get a ham radio license. Keep your 10 year old Toyota forever. Pay with cash sometimes just to switch it up a bit and make the cashier learn to count 😎. Be aware of what devices you use that tattle on your activities and govern yourself accordingly. A little misdirection or just being quieter on social media never hurts, either. Okay end of my coffee-laden ramblings. Hopefully this helped some of you. 🇺🇸

Howie | ChinaTripBox (@aomanhanliu) reportedPro tip: Set up Alipay + WeChat Pay + VPN + offline maps before you land. It saves 80% of the stress.Most common problems foreigners face in their first week in China (2026):Mobile payments China is almost completely cashless. Alipay & WeChat Pay are everywhere. Setting them up with a foreign card can be painful (freezes, verification fails, some shops reject foreign-linked accounts). Cash is only a backup. Internet Google, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Gmail… all blocked. You must install a good VPN before you arrive. Google Maps also doesn’t work properly here. Language barrier English is rare outside big hotels and top tourist spots. Ordering food, asking directions, or using apps becomes a daily struggle. Getting around Train tickets are strictly name-matched to your passport. You need Amap (Gaode) or Apple Maps. Didi is essential but depends on payment apps. Small but annoying extras Some cheap hotels still refuse foreigners Must register your address within 24 hours Carry your passport everywhere

Edelweiss (@KroatenNDH) reported@HustleBitch_ Alexa is able to reveal private details about users, such as their profession or education, by cross-referencing data from the entire Amazon ecosystem (purchases, searches, emails, and calendars) and leveraging AI to infer information from unintentionally intercepted conversations. The system analyzes audio snippets recorded in the background and combines micro-information collected over time to personalize responses, often without being able to explain the exact origin of the data. That said, the very first step is downloading the app, so Alexa isn't the problem, but the idiot who relies on technology and prefers to use Alexa instead of using his brain. We should reflect on this instead. Everything that's convenient is stupid... Longanesi said: "They lived unhappily because it was cheaper"... Today's humans are zombified, that's the reality. I don't have Alexa, I have the TV off, I've set the privacy options to prevent her from spying on me at home, I've disabled the camera and microphone on my computer, and on my phone, specifically Gmail and Google, I've disabled location, tracking, smart text, the ability to listen to my conversations, etc. And if someone wants to call me, I have a separate phone just for calling, and nothing else. The problem isn't Alexa, trust me, our world is based on consent. If Alexa is a problem, we created the problem because by downloading and installing her, we agreed to use her... we agreed... so all you have to do is not agree and use your brain, easy, right?
