Colyns (@Ehys__) reportedAI software management these days is making big tech lazy and indifferent Gmail don't send login otp instantly over 2 weeks now, now it's META, I am beginning to think AI Is only good for building, but terrible for software management
-
Rachael Nelson (@rachael__nelson) reported@adamislucky I think this just about every day when I have to hunt down the search. I hate the mobile app Home Screen UX so bad right now. History is also brutally messed up. But, we have Gmail and Google Maps and Waymo and search.

W. W. S. Hsieh - Sometimes Satirical! (@whsieh) reported@jwithing UT’s own webpage on Zotero says this so it doesn’t seem to be a configuration error. Also, since UT doesn’t use Gmail, I’m not wedded to using Chrome on my work laptop, anyhow.

@levelsio (@levelsio) reportedThere is no reason NOT to have every single email you get routed through an agent / LLM / API to be scored and approved or rejected And then the approved emails ordered by importance It's crazy this isn't a feature of Gmail, Fastmail etc AI could permanently fix email!

Seeking Gradient (@seekinggradient) reportedCouple things about getting Omarchi running: 1. Codex set this whole thing up by controlling my new Windows machine from my Mac, including making backups in case anything went wrong. 2. Windows/Microsoft is slimy. They forced me to sign in to Microsoft, and issued takeout requests to my Gmail. Also, sent me a bunch of spam about discounts and cash back.

Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@RetroChainer Connect your Gmail, Drive, and Slack to an autonomous agent on a shared VM and go to sleep. I can picture a lot of ethics issues.

Elizabeth Quinn-nolistsplease (@julepandme) reported@TheRickWilson @sundarpichai Stop using google products as much as possible. Even if you have gmail & can't not use youtube just using another search engine (which you should do anyway because google is filled with ****** AI results) it cuts into their revenue. And clearly google needs to be broken up.

RECIDENT (@recidentz) reported@poteto @bot Id like to have a bot that can be an expert with office use, pdf making, email sending, to be able to watch live if a customer texted through WhatsApp and ping me For the example: having a construction company, estimates are moving fast in the emails, you do a lot of back and forth on WhatsApp and Gmail. Having the bot handle it will be so nice, and I’m currently have a lil trouble with it.

KaneMc (@kdepater) reportedAnother Gmail story… and this is exactly why losing access to one account can become a much bigger problem than people realize. 😳 Someone says Google had been warning his mother that her account would be deleted because she was apparently not old enough to have an unsupervised Google account. There was just one strange problem: She’s an adult and had been using the account for years. According to her son, she even submitted identification to prove her age, but it was rejected. And now the account has been disabled. Suddenly it isn’t only Gmail she can’t access. YouTube and other Google services connected to the same account are affected too. They’re now stuck trying to complete the verification process, while apparently being sent back into the same login loop. We still don’t know exactly what caused Google to classify the account this way, so I wouldn’t automatically blame Google or call it a technical error. But the situation highlights something I’ve been thinking about more and more with these stories: One email account isn’t just an email account anymore. It can be connected to years of emails, photos, subscriptions, purchases, contacts, accounts and other services. And when access to that one account suddenly disappears… you realize just how much of your digital life was depending on it.

I GOT BANNED (@Abd_samad03) reported@FiverrSupport I reached out via Gmail regarding an issue with my withdrawal, but I haven’t received a response yet. Could a human support agent please review my case and assist me? I’d really appreciate a prompt response.

SnorNap (@snornaplo) reported@PinoyBlasian I’m really sorry for the delay. My grandfather passed away and I had to return to China unexpectedly on Aug. 19. I’m currently at the Taiwan airport heading back to the U.S. now. We sold 800+ Magikarps and only about 40 orders are still waiting to ship. I wasn’t able to access X, Gmail, IG, or Shopify properly while in China, so I’m very sorry for the lack of updates. I’ll take care of all remaining orders as soon as I’m back and offer 20% off as an apology. If you’d rather get a refund, I completely understand and will issue it right away. 🙏

Gabriel (@40yoap) reported@AlexZevelev Search is broken from the forced "AI" push, Gmail search is useless and they keep pushing "upgrading" even though I already have a subscription, Android is slow and the dead latest versions had poor aesthetics, Gemini is only good for image generation, they killed a Reader

Alternate Jones (@AlternateJones) reportedOne more thing that made this work unusually well for me: Over the last six months, I had already built extensive dossiers across Claude Code and Codex covering almost all areas of my life and work. When I created my first Grok bot, I simply pointed it at those dossiers and gave it some guidance on which specialist agents should own which domains. Then I connected it to Gmail and Google Drive. That changed everything. Now every task starts with context. Every relevant email, sent or received, is available. Every important file is already there. The historical decisions, assumptions, constraints and open issues are in the dossiers. So instead of repeatedly explaining the background, I can give the bot an objective and let it decide which agent should handle it, what context it needs, and what source material to inspect. The real unlock for agents, in my experience, isn’t just intelligence. It’s persistent context + access to your actual data + delegation.

Aanuoluwa Oladejo (@Aanuoluwa_Ja) reported@AirtelNigeria @GOnwumere29862 Why is my Airtel data unable to open YouTube, Gmail, websites, or download from Play Store unless I use a VPN? This is frustrating and unacceptable. Please fix this network issue urgently. #AirtelNigeria

Arcane | Artificial Intelligence (@Arcane_Aii) reportedIf someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

Clinton Desveaux (@ClintonDesveaux) reportedI’m shutting down my Gmail account tonight and setting up a new email - Lake America can kiss my ***. Send me a PM with your email
-
Arcane | Artificial Intelligence (@Arcane_Aii) reported@rhody_special Not true. Locking the account and trusting Google with mail are different problems. A hacked Gmail can reset your other accounts. A key, unique password, no SMS 2FA, and a recovery email elsewhere fix most of that. Deleting it isn’t required. Google scans mail for spam/features. That isn’t the same as “already in Gemini.” You can turn Smart features off.

Ivayla Grancharova (@Ivayla_) reportednot me receiving an e-mail from gmail that my e-mail to them wasn't even received... so you are an online business that can't even be bothered to make sure their server works, i shouldn't have bothered ordering at all, hope they never actually send it

Yadav (@001AnilYadav) reported@flipkartsupport @Flipkart .... That acount. Now concern is if I remove that gmail id by login through Gmail account in Flipkart it need another gmail id that I was not able to give as that number is no longer associated with me.

Matt ******* (@bigolemand) reported@Gbot183 I get it but it makes me crazy thinking anyone could let their email get so out of hand. I clean and manage my inbox like OCD. I use my Gmail for garbage and to 'sign in with google' but my main email is immaculate. I asked grok bot to look through it, just suggested to archive a couple things.
