Bobby Gadzooks (@TimeBobby3) reported@infosec_james 100% and completely practical for elderly parents who get confused why Google on tv would ask them to sign in when they signed into gmail 4 days ago from their laptop. I know mom, it’s stupid, let’s get the book out snd sign you in.

waks™️• (@danielwaks1) reported@unclemagic100 Hello sir I am having issues downloading their zip file it seems they won’t send me the link via gmail could you help me ?

Ma'am (@stecyAO) reported@kevvOH_ It's time we went passowrdless. Sign up page, password recovery, login with passwords are the major security risk, especially when dealing with your own domain. Make it passowrdless, export the risk to accessing Gmail or the Microsoft blue team for login OTPs

Rake Washington (@RakeWashington) reportedBuilding with AI agents? What integration do you keep avoiding because the API docs are garbage? Mine was Gmail OAuth2 refresh rotation. Fix was one header buried in a GitHub issue from 2024. Drop yours below.

Idris | Email Marketing (@IdrisEcom_email) reportedA 30% open rate is not a subject line problem. I keep seeing brands rewrite subject lines for months while the actual issue sits one tab over. Opened this account and checked deliverability by mailbox provider... Gmail: 16%. Apple: 16%. Outlook and Hotmail: landing in spam. No subject line survives that. You could write the best line of your career and 84% of Gmail would never see it. Most "email isn't working" problems are deliverability problems wearing a copywriting costume. Action step: Open one campaign. Open your deliverability tab and look at open rate by provider. If one is dramatically below the others, stop optimizing copy and go fix inboxing first.

Still BS (@StillBRS) reported@BookSpotlight Spam filtering is getting spotty, too. Like, Gmail lets you flag addresses as VIP... but they can still end up in the spam folder. It's unbelievable how we get these egregious errors in tech now that just waft along.
-
ᴅᴀɴꜰᴀᴀʀɪ (@danfaari) reported@iamSoftVina This issue likely stems from Gmail's aggressive spam filters or altered inbox rules triggered by the bulk unsubscribe action, which can temporarily flag or block legitimate senders as the account's email behavior profile shifts. - Recommended steps include checking spam/promotions tabs, adding key senders to contacts, reviewing filters and blocked lists in Gmail settings, and testing by requesting new verification emails from the affected companies. - grok Try and see

Sebastian Caniulao | Ecommerce Email & Growth (@canipack21) reported@NickAbraham12 The domain-level tracking is the piece most people skip. Same discipline pays off on the retention side: watching engagement per sending domain caught a Gmail-only dip for one of my ecommerce clients weeks before revenue showed it, because the blend across providers hid the drop. Averages are where deliverability problems go to hide.

Tayo Oludare (@the_tayooludare) reportedWe’re experiencing a strange problem in my office at the moment. We can’t access our emails (Gmail), join meetings or send out emails while connected to the Airtel network provider. Can anyone using Airtel confirm they’re experiencing this same problem?

Seeker (@bykushnir) reportedTHE MOST EXPENSIVE AI MISTAKE ISN'T A BAD ANSWER. IT'S A BAD ANSWER THAT RUNS EVERY TUESDAY. A chatbot hallucinating once is annoying. An agent with Gmail, files, dashboards and scheduled routines hallucinating the same workflow every week is infrastructure failure. That's what I like about these 15 Grok Bot examples. Almost every workflow is built around the same boring rules: source every claim never guess when data is missing keep write actions behind approval make failures explicit test manually before scheduling None of that makes the agent look smarter. It makes the agent safe enough to stop watching. And I think that's where people misunderstand the agent era. We don't need AI that can complete the perfect task once while we're watching the screen. We need AI that can encounter a broken page, stale data or missing input on its 47th unattended run and decide: “I don't know enough to continue.” Intelligence gets an agent through the happy path. Boundaries are what let you trust it on Tuesday #47.

dvduval (@phpld) reported@imosvaldoe You could always use a different Gmail account to login on another device if it’s just a one off like that or use a different model on their free mode. There’s quite a few available.

Chanah Angelica Kamen (@AngelicaKamen) reportedI lost contact with a good musician friend a few years ago, we were in the same music department at uni, he was a foreign student from China. He graduated his masters a little before me, then gave me his email because that's all he could use to keep in contact with me. We could exchange emails for a while, then that email stopped working. No gmail account, no facebook of course, haven't been able to get in contact with him since and neither have any of my other friends. But anyways, down with the evil Australian government system, am I right?

Aijay (@IjeomaAnyiamO) reported@AirtelNigeria whatever is going on with your network and Gmail/YouTube, kindly fix it. For two days now and you can’t say you aren’t aware of it. Fix up, please. Being a consistently terrible internet provider is no flex.

Alextrubbish (@RealTrubbish) reportedI am in hell My phone broke Saturday night and now I'm locked out of my Apple account with trouble getting into my gmail also I managed to get into here but I'm essentially locked out of everything else I'm trying to fix things but if you notice I disappeared that is why

ShowUpAnyWay (@ColdMorningGrit) reported@paz_al3x @paz_al3x 52 here. Framing houses for 30 years. No CS degree. No engineering background. Just someone who knew exactly what the problem was because I live it every day on the job site. This week I built a voice-to-invoice app that emails a professional PDF to a customer before I back out of their driveway. Whisper transcribes what I say. Local AI parses the line items. Gmail delivers it. All running on hardware I built myself. Same thing you said. AI didn't make me an engineer. It made the capability accessible to someone who already knew what needed to be built. The domain knowledge was always there. Now I can finally do something with it.

David (@davidthepurple) reportedDear @gmail please respond to my postmaster feedback request. You're blocking 100% of my emails to addresses hosted by Gmail, and I can't determine why, or a way to fix it.

J Gautam ♑️ (@JagrutBharatiya) reportedAnd there is an even bigger strategic idea which government can implement. If India wants domestic messaging companies to succeed without banning WhatsApp, the best government intervention isn’t “Please download Indian apps.” It is interoperability and portability. Think about mobile phones. If Airtel subscribers could only call Airtel subscribers, Airtel’s network effect would be enormous. But because an Airtel number can call Jio or Vi, companies compete on service instead of holding users hostage through their social graph. Email works similarly. Gmail users can email Outlook users. Imagine an open messaging standard where: Arattai ↔ another Indian messenger ↔ eventually WhatsApp/other compliant platforms could exchange basic encrypted messages with user consent. Then a new messaging company wouldn’t need 500 million users on day one. That would fundamentally change the competitive structure. There are serious technical, spam, identity, encryption and regulatory problems to solve, so it isn’t something Zoho can unilaterally impose on WhatsApp. But Indian government could encourage open messaging standards and data portability rather than bans. I think that’s a much healthier form of digital sovereignty. 3/4

Architect🛡️ (@Architect9000) reportedMCP design is hugely underappeciated. Optimizing both the shape and implementation of tools can yield incredible cost and performance improvements. Treating MCP as a thin API wrapper is a terrible mental model. Codependent, optional, or too many tool parameters lead to false negatives. Poor server and tool descriptions thwart the agent's tool selection reasoning step. Lack of normalization transfers deterministic work on the API side into nondeterministic work for the agent. High quality error responses are nearly as important as the success case. I recently experimented with tool response Large Result Offloading and saw token consumption drop by nearly 30% in data-rich applications. For agentic workloads, input tokens are like throwing a pebble in a pond. The original token cost is multiplied by cacheability and compaction concerns later. Just a little more thoughtfulness in MCP design can dramatically improve tool success rate and token efficiency, especially for complex surfaces. I could design a Gmail MCP that would drop costs by 50% versus a generic wrapper. And since the tool layer is a common abstraction point, the gains compound across an entire organization.

Mike Manrod (@CroodSolutions) reported@0xTib3rius For elderly in particular, I actually recommend these books sometimes. Nobody is going to James Bond grandma/grandpa’s house to get in his/her Gmail. But if our elderly pick weak passwords and use the same passwords for everything, they are going to have problems.

jux for all (@smitchthekid) reported@gmail hi hello, real operator here. Can you fix the error in Gmail mobile on Pixel 10 where I can't respond to or find the current draft is in the queue. I continually get the same error over and over again that I can't have multiple drafts, yet there is no draft visible -mgmt

CyberSignal | Cybersecurity News (@XQOPTRX) reported@saen_dev Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’d frame it too. Right now, prompt injection is still the more common entry point I’m seeing in published enterprise research. The tool-call side becomes more interesting once the agent already has access to things like SharePoint, Gmail, Drive, CRM, APIs, or internal search. That’s where the risk changes from “the model said something weird” to: the agent retrieved something sensitive and then used a legitimate tool to move or expose it. We’ve already seen researchers demonstrate this kind of chain with Copilot and connected services, but I wouldn’t say widespread real-world tool-call exfiltration is proven yet. Public evidence there is still much thinner than prompt-injection activity. So my current view is: Prompt injection is the entry vector. RAG, memory and tool permissions are the blast-radius multipliers. Once an agent can read data, retain context, call tools and communicate externally, the real security problem becomes much more about authorization and data flow than the model itself.

Owoniyi Uthman (@OwoniyiU) reported@FabianB58246501 That's a great development sir, kudos to the new registrar and all the staff entirely. Please changing of Gmail for those who made error during initial registration of UTME and monopolizing DE registration to only Headquarters and Zone centres are also issues. May God help you.
