  @AirtelNigeria Uncle Nico, the data or YouTube night isn’t my problem. My problem is whether it’s day or night or midnight, the app doesn’t load. YT music, Gmail and YouTube itself. Please read my complaint again.

  @XFreeze the recovery piece stands out to me most. for longer tasks across multiple PDFs + MCPs like Gmail, Notion or Google Drive, losing progress to a token or network issue would be rough. that kind of resilience matters a lot more as agent workflows get longer!

  @stelzner_n1150 This has to be the stupidest comment ever sorry. 100% of cell phones, smart phones, cable boxes, electric meters, computer usage and email GOES THROUGH DATA centers and always has! Here are the facts: That claim is backwards. The internet and smartphones have always run on data centers (or the same thing under older names: server rooms, colo, hosting farms). What changed is the size, location, and branding — not whether the machines exist. The internet never ran without servers Commercial internet use took off in the early 1990s. From day one it needed: ISP modem banks and backbone routers Web/email/DNS servers Co-location and hosting facilities Those are data centers. Exodus, AboveNet, Equinix, and telco “carrier hotels” were already packing raised-floor rooms with racks in the mid-to-late 1990s. Google’s first big custom plants and Amazon’s early AWS rooms were 2000s expansions of that model, not a new species of building. You could run a static homepage off a PC in a closet. You could not run search, streaming, maps, payments, or “the internet” as people actually used it. Smartphones made the dependence worse, not optional The iPhone shipped in 2007. A phone is a thin client. Almost everything people treat as “the phone” lives off-device: iCloud / Google account sync Maps and traffic App Store / Play Store Gmail, Photos, Drive Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify Siri / Assistant Banking and payments That traffic hits someone’s data center. If those rooms went dark, the glass slab in your pocket would still make calls on a good day and not much else. Twenty years of smartphones is twenty years of more backend compute, not twenty years without it.

  @Jaywash_1NFT @Cointelegraph @Yubico Yubikey is a security key that's acts as MFA for accounts such as Gmail, social media accounts, etc, it can't be used with Hardware wallets, unless there is an account login where you sign up with email or phone number and password. Most hardware wallets are not compatible with security keys because they simple don't require it as the hardware wallet acts as the authenticatior in that situation.

  Unsubscribe is them walking out. Spam is them telling the building you're a problem. Unsub hurts a dashboard. Spam hurts the next 10,000 people. Keep blasting people who already wanted out and Gmail starts taking their side. One-click leave. Stop mailing people who never wanted this cadence. I'd rather they walk out than burn the building.

  ChatGPT finally supports multiple Gmail accounts. No more logging out. No more switching tabs. No more half-pictures of your schedule. You can now connect multiple Google accounts side-by-side to read emails, calendars, and contacts all at once. Here is how to set it up in under a minute: 1. Open ChatGPT and go to plugins/settings. 2. Tap the gear icon on Gmail. 3. Select "Connect another account" and sign in. Stop checking your inbox manually. Let AI do the triage.

  Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reported 27 minutes ago

  ChatGPT can now read ALL your Gmail accounts at once. Work inbox. Personal inbox. That old one you forgot about. Until this week, it could only see ONE. The rest were locked out. That just changed. And barely anyone noticed. Here's the setup (it's stupidly simple): Go to plugins. Pick Gmail. Click the gear icon. Hit "Connect another account." Sign in. Done. Repeat for as many accounts as you want. Calendar and Contacts work the same way. Now try this one prompt: "Review my emails and give me a summary of the last 3 days." It reads everything. Tells you what matters. Tells you what to handle FIRST. No inbox dread. Just a clean starting point. And the questions that were impossible a week ago: "Find that email from Sarah." Work or personal? Doesn't matter. It checks both. "What do I still owe replies to?" Across every account. One answer. "When am I actually free this week?" Both calendars. The REAL answer. No double-booking. Two smart habits: Start with read-only permissions. Let it summarize first. Open up sending later, once you trust it. And name the inbox you mean. "Work inbox" gets you a clean answer, not a mixed one. The biggest win isn't the summaries. It's never logging out and back in again. Stop checking your inbox. Let your inbox report to you.

  Pers (@0xPerser) reported 31 minutes ago

  Gave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

  Comparisons of Free Trial Abuse Prevention Services If you're running a SaaS with a free trial or focusing on PLG, authentication and abuse prevention are not the same problem. - WorkOS: If you're already using WorkOS, WorkOS Radar is probably the first thing I'd look at. For a WorkOS stack, WorkOS AuthKit + Radar makes the most sense. You don't need to bolt another authentication system onto your app just to get abuse signals. - Auth0, Supabase Auth, Better Auth: These are primarily identity/authentication platforms. Integrating only these can't prevent free trial abuse. - Custom: Like the previous options, you need a custom way to prevent free trial abuse. Most free trial abuse methods involve disposable emails, Google dot variations, Google/Gmail domain variations, and plus addressing. That's why even when you block bots via Cloudflare Turnstile or CAPTCHA, you can still get these abusers. The industry standards: - Block free trial abuse using lists hosted on GitHub: This is a pain in the ***. If you don't want to pay money, you can use a service that offers a generous free tier. - WorkOS Radar: This is mainly used at the enterprise level. They focus more on WorkOS-related integrations rather than integrations with other providers. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, DeBounce: These are mainly used to clean/validate emails. There are 100s of alternatives, and most are similar with minor differences. They all have disposable email checking APIs. - UserCheck: This is also an email validation API, but they focus on blocking fake email addresses. It's better than a basic email verification API. - Autheona: This is in the same category as WorkOS Radar and UserCheck, but with more features. It also focuses on fake user detection and is growing with a real user base. Now, pricing: - WorkOS Radar: First 1,000 checks free, then $100 per 50 checks. No application-specific logic changes. Easy to integrate and manage. - ZeroBounce: 100 free validations in the free tier, then pay-as-you-go, starting at 2,000 for $39, and so on. - NeverBounce: No free trial or use case, $8 per 1,000 checks. - UserCheck: 1,000 API requests per month in the free plan. The rule-based engine is not included in the free plan, and you can get up to 1 request per second. - Autheona: 3,000 checks per month, with the rule-based policy engine included. Standard API request rate limitations apply, similar to paid plans. Now, use cases: - WorkOS Radar: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, etc.: Block disposable emails. - UserCheck: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations; detect public emails; email suggestions; syntax validation; role detection. - Autheona: Everything included in UserCheck, plus business/free/government email identification, deliverability checks, fraud patterns, punycode and mixed-script checks, VPN detection, and bot detection (not necessary if you already use CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, etc.). Final decision from me: - Use WorkOS Radar if you're already in the WorkOS ecosystem. It's harder to integrate with other auth providers. - Use ZeroBounce-like APIs if you need basic disposable email checks. They're not as good if you need a better free tier. - Use UserCheck if you only need email-related validation and want to stay within the free plan. - Use Autheona if you need the most generous free tier available with a custom policy engine. All services take a maximum of a few hours to integrate and test. Both UserCheck and Autheona have a similar approach: integrate once and never touch the code again.

  @TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube The issue is the YouTube channel, not simply recovering the Google account. The Workspace account was gone for years while our channel stayed active. Our Gmail was added as Manager in 2025. The channel suddenly vanished with no notice. Can we escalate for review?

  Nate Tucker (@natetucker) reported 38 minutes ago

  Gmail search is broken. We're building an AI assistant which lets people talk to it. It tries to look up contacts by the name it hears. 60% of the time it failed. The reason it failed was because we were learning on Gmail search. Gmail's search doesn't understand that words can sound alike. It only matches from the start of a word, caps how many results it returns, and doesn't sort by how relevant a result actually is. Somehow it gets worse, because the old matching would grab any word containing the letters you typed. Searching for "Dr. Stevens" could match the "dr" hiding inside "Sandra" or "Pedro," and one of those wrong matches would often win. We got fed up and built our own directory instead.

  AI agents are getting more capable. The conversation is shifting from “can they do work?” to “how do we keep them on-script?” For email, that means dedicated inboxes, scoped access, approval flows, and prompt-injection scanning. Not a shared Gmail login. #AIAgents #GrokBot #BuildinPublic

Accounts created: 0 (he already had both) Apps downloaded: 3 (Microsoft To Do, Teams, OneNote all free) Browser extensions installed: 1 (Microsoft Editor free) Every replacement runs on accounts he created years ago. The tools were sitting behind the same login he uses for Gmail and Outlook unused, unconfigured, and paying rent to 9 other companies that built the same features on top of what Google and Microsoft were already giving away.

  Flaxen Media (@flaxen_media) reported 56 minutes ago

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  @rahulvohra @Superhuman thanks for the quick response, Rahul! here’s some constructive feedback: ↳ the double nav is the biggest issue. ↳ i switch sections constantly and keep opening calendar by accident. ↳ i never use calendar, so it shouldn’t be in the primary nav. ↳ search feels redundant since swipe already worked. ↳ the smaller menu icons/text make things like “sent” harder to find. ↳ multiple calendars per one inbox feels like the wrong hierarchy. ↳ the old ui felt calm and focused. this feels much closer to gmail, the reason i switched to superhuman in the first place. i’ve been a customer for 5 years and hope you’ll reconsider these changes.
