  how you can buy claude, chatgpt, grok pro subs at 90% discount Chinese students using platforms like these to buy cheap subscriptions > go to: link in the comments - create an account with gmail - select software and apps - select claude, chatgpt - select max or pro plan - select the seller & pay with any available option > sometimes the seller might respond slowly, you can wait > read all the terms & conditions, if you got a faulty stuff, you can escalate and get refund the catch: - accounts will have high chance of getting banned - privacy concerns, all your prompts will go through a 3rd party server - if anything happens after the window they promised, you can't get refund > it may be helpful for college students, who are passionate about ai but don't have enough money to experience powerful ai subscriptions

  Apple Mail “lost” my Gmail account. The fix was NOT rebuild the mailbox cache. macOS still had the Google account for Calendar + Contacts… but the IMAP child account under it was GONE. No IMAP child = Mail has nothing to sync. Deleting ~/Library/Mail/V10/ can’t invent an account that doesn’t exist. If Gmail vanished from Mail but still shows in System Settings: the parent Google account is fine — Mail’s receive/send children are missing. That’s the real bug. 🧵

  I don’t think most people realize how utterly strange it is that Google does not have an AI harness that is competing with OpenAI and Anthropic. Their ineptitude at product management has now gone from hobbling a company that was guaranteed to win to exposing it to existential risk. This is a company worth trillions of dollars that is medically unable to ship a product. Using any of their services as an administrator is the same type of torture that it was 15 years ago. Google’s inability to fix this should be studied in business books for decades to come. Starting now. It is the single strangest thing I’ve ever seen in business. They literally invented modern AI, and all they have to show for it is annoying pop-ups in Gmail and Google Docs that make everyone want to vibe code an alternative. The best evidence that ASI already exists is a theory that it’s at work inside of Google already, making sure they lose. What an absolute abomination.

  3. Invisible Tracking Pixels The Situation: You open an email from a marketer, glance at it for three seconds, and delete it. Two hours later, you get a follow-up email from the same person saying, "Hey, noticed you took a look at my last email!" It feels like magic, but it’s actually invasive surveillance. The Mechanics: Marketers embed a 1x1 transparent pixel (literally a single, invisible dot of light) inside the body of the email. When you open the message, your email client has to "download" that pixel from the marketer's server to display it. When that download happens, the server logs your exact IP address, the type of device you are holding, your geographic location, and the precise second you opened the email. They use this behavioral data to time their next spam attack perfectly. The Fix: You must cut off their surveillance cameras. Go to Gmail Settings > General > Images. Switch the toggle to "Ask before displaying external images." Now, your emails will load as raw text first. The tracking pixel is blocked in the cloud until you explicitly click "display images," blinding the marketers completely.

  So one thing I definitely want to mention that during this documentary the CEO of bricks and minifigs actually trapped Ben by having him email information and then this tool bag subpoena Google to get all of his Gmail and everything information... If you do anything email that could have any litigation issues or could be brought up in litigation make sure you use an encrypted email like protonmail or something like that...

  That point is the architectural pivot. The idea is to stop thinking in terms of "the CLI", "the helper", and "the Mac app" as separate products with separate business logic. Today the flow is approximately: Crawler │ ├── CLI path │ ├── compute status │ ├── choose capabilities │ ├── format strings │ └── print terminal output │ └── Helper path ├── compute status again ├── throw information away ├── protobuf └── SwiftUI The problem isn't protobuf. It's that you've forked the business logic. You end up fixing things twice: search summaries status setup requirements capabilities freshness counts copy and eventually the two surfaces drift. The proposed architecture Instead: crawler │ ▼ federation / coordinator │ canonical typed model │ ┌───────────┼────────────┐ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ CLI human CLI JSON protobuf │ ▼ SwiftUI Notice that the CLI isn't special any more. It's just another renderer. The app isn't special either. It also just renders the same model. Example Suppose Gmail reports: searchable 42,312 messages 10,844 attachments last successful sync requires no setup headline capabilities:Mail Attachments Search Internally that becomes something like SourceStatus{ ID: "gmail", State: Ready, Capabilities: { Mail, Attachments, Search, }, Counts: { Messages: 42312, Attachments: 10844, }, Freshness: ... } Now three renderers consume it. CLI: gmail Mail • Attachments 42,312 messages 10,844 attachments JSON: { ... } SwiftUI: [Gmail] Search Gmail Mail • Attachments Nobody recomputes anything. Nobody invents new wording. Nobody has to remember to update three places. Same idea for search Instead of CLI search ↓ terminal rows ↓ helper reparses ↓ protobuf ↓ Swift you do Search() ↓ []SearchResult ↓ CLI renderer or protobuf ↓ Swift renderer The renderer chooses how to display it. The search engine never thinks about terminals. Same idea for setup Suppose Photos needs permission. Canonical model: SetupRequirement{ Type: PhotosPermission, Severity: Required, } CLI: Needs Photos permission. Run: trawl setup photos Swift: Photos Grant access [Continue] Again: same fact different presentation. Why this matters Right now every new feature has hidden tax. Imagine adding OCR. Today: CLI helper protobuf Swift all need updating. Under this model: Capability: OCR Everything else simply renders it. That's exactly the sort of architecture that scales to twenty crawlers instead of nine. One thing I'd tweak I would make the "federation layer" as thin as possible. It should not become a God object that knows how every crawler works. Instead think of it as an orchestrator. Each crawler already knows: capabilities setup search status open The federation layer should mostly: enumerate crawlers aggregate merge rank dispatch expose one API The crawlers remain the source of truth. Otherwise you'll slowly move business logic out of crawlers and recreate a second crawler implementation in the federation layer. So the mental model I'd use is: crawler │ ▼ typed domain objects │ ▼ federator/orchestrator │ ▼ renderers not crawler ↓ federator that understands every crawler ↓ renderers That distinction is subtle, but it's usually what determines whether the architecture stays clean after another 10–20 crawlers are added.

  Sukhwinder | Ecom Email Marketing (@HeySukhwinder) reported 35 minutes ago

  Most email marketers will tell you to email more. Daily. Twice daily. "Inbox dominance strategy." I tell my clients to email less. Way less. Here's why the engagement-over-volume philosophy generates more revenue for Shopify brands: A fashion brand doing $340K/month was sending daily emails. 7 emails a week, every subscriber, same content for everyone. Revenue was plateauing. Spam complaints were rising. Unsubscribes were climbing steadily every month. They believed the solution was MORE emails with BETTER offers to compensate for the decline. They were wrong. Here's the engagement math most brands completely miss: Email providers - Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook - track how subscribers interact with your emails. Every ignored email, every delete-without-opening, every spam complaint downgrades your sender reputation. Do the math: 10,000 subscribers at 40% open rate = 4,000 engaged readers 20,000 subscribers at 15% open rate = 3,000 engaged readers The bigger list generates FEWER actual readers. And significantly worse deliverability for the people who actually want your emails. Here's what makes it worse: When your sender reputation drops, your emails start landing in the Promotions tab. Then the Spam folder. Now your most loyal customers - the ones who open, click, and buy - can't find your emails either. You are literally punishing your best subscribers to keep sending to people who stopped caring months ago. It's the email equivalent of shouting at an empty room while the people who want to listen are locked outside. Step 1: Engagement-based pruning. Anyone who hasn't opened an email in 60 days? Suppress them from daily sends. They get a weekly digest instead - your best content, no pressure. Anyone who hasn't opened in 90 days? Move them to a 3-email re-engagement sequence. Real subject lines. Real offers. If they don't re-engage by email 3, sunset them completely. The fashion brand cut their active sending list by 40% immediately. The founder was terrified. Step 2: Frequency matching by engagement tier. High engagers - open and click regularly, buy multiple times: 3-4 emails per week. They want more from you. Medium engagers - open sometimes, rarely click, occasional buyers: 1-2 emails per week. Don't burn them out. Low engagers - open rarely, haven't purchased recently: 1 email per week. Give them your best content. Win them back slowly. Same total content volume. Radically different distribution. A better experience for everyone. The fashion brand's results after 60 days of sending LESS: Total emails sent: down 42% Total email revenue: up 63% Average open rate: 21% → 43% Unsubscribe rate: down 71% Spam complaints: down 58% They sent fewer emails. Made significantly more money. Their most engaged subscribers got MORE of what they actually wanted. More isn't better. Better is better. The brands that win in the inbox aren't the loudest. They're the most intentional. Send less. Send smarter. Target the people who actually want to hear from you. Watch what happens to your revenue. P.S. Shopify brands making +5 figures per month: If you're not leveraging email marketing the right way, you're missing out on higher revenue without more ad spend, a loyal community that actually loves your brand, and fun, engaging emails that sell without feeling like selling. DM me "GROWTH" if you're ready to level up.

  Google just made three paid features free in one update. Most people scrolled right past it. Here's what actually changed: ✔ Personalized AI image generation pulled from your Gmail, Photos, and Search — is now free for US users (was locked behind a paid plan). ✔ A new fast image model is rolling into the Gemini app, Search, Photos, and NotebookLM at once. ✔ A brand-new video tool lets you edit clips using plain language instead of software, no timeline required. ✔ Students 18+ in Indonesia, Japan, the UK, and Brazil get a free Gemini upgrade through July. ✔ Camera-to-image generation is now live globally on Android and iOS. Free tiers used to mean "watered down." Not anymore. Save this. You'll know exactly which Gemini features cost nothing before your feed catches up. Want the SOP? DM me.

  @TouhouEnjoyer_ I think it depends on how you're being "hit on" if it's a simple "can I get your number/gmail" and leaving it at that, I don't see much reason to complain. But if it's the kind of "hit on" where someone was folloing them around for a while and wouldn't stop that's an an issue.

  Hiring a random AI dev to "transform" your business is the single most expensive mistake a founder can make right now. Not because it costs 10K. Because it costs you 2 months believing the problem is solved while it quietly isn't. I've watched this exact ending happen to enough founders this year that I could time it. You've been sold a lie dressed up as convenience. A $100/month Cowork subscription does not run a company. It runs a HOBBY. You could hand every founder the best model in the world tomorrow and this problem doesn't move an inch. What happens at 2am when something breaks and nobody's watching it? If you're clearing $500K a year off a Gmail inbox, a shared Google Sheet, and a Notion board, fine, plug in whatever you want. You never had problems deep enough to expose the gap. If you're running $2M through six people, three vendors, and a CRM nobody actually trusts, you already know exactly how deep this goes. Even "AI project management" for ten people is not wiring Fireflies into Claude into ClickUp and calling it done. A real project manager does not hand out tasks. He knows who's on the other end of every single one. The guy who's missed three of his last four deadlines and still swears he's on track. The one who goes quiet the moment he's stuck instead of raising his hand. The one who needs the deadline said twice, and the one who never forgives you for saying it twice. An AI reading a transcript knows none of that. It's a faster to-do list. It has never met your team. It never will. You already live this. You still carry 90% of the real weight whether you've hired three people or thirty. Every hard call still lands on your desk, every time. That is not a hiring problem. That is a system that was never taught who anyone actually is. Here's the fix, stripped to what it actually is: One file. Per person. Not a personality writeup. → What they're good at → Exactly how they fail, dated, specific, tracked over months → The rule that follows directly from the failure. Not policy. Consequence. This is the Operating Brain. Not a slide in a deck. A file that gets corrected. A competitor can steal the idea over a weekend. He cannot steal the file. The file only exists after the same mistake gets caught and corrected three separate times, months apart, on a real person. That's the moat nobody is pricing in. Not the model. Not the folder. Not the prompt. What's described and what's actually running are the same thing. Your job is building the business. The Brain's job is never forgetting who's actually in it. Centralize the data first. Build the brain before you build anything else. Everyone chasing the shiny dashboard is going to find this out the expensive way.

  If Your Gmail Isn't Secure, Your Bank Account Could Be at Risk. Your Gmail is connected to your banking apps, UPI accounts, social media, shopping websites and many other online services. If cyber criminals gain access to your Gmail, they may be able to reset passwords, intercept important emails and take control of other accounts linked to it. That's why securing your Gmail is one of the most important steps in protecting your digital life. Use a strong, unique password, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), keep your recovery email and phone number updated, and review your login activity regularly. Your Gmail is more than an email account. It's the key to your digital identity. Protect it before someone else does.

  @EthanLevins2 @SteakMyClaim Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.
