Javed_khan (@jawlee33) reported@GooglePlay go see my Gmail can't give you more details in public the problem is i can't download anything and also all my apps is not updating

Manish Kumar Shah (@manishkumar_dev) reportedThis might finally fix what AI has been missing. Imagine opening Gmail to write a client email. Before you even start, it surfaces: • Your last conversation with them • The tone and sentiment of that exchange • Key details you forgot you even discussed All pulled from your own history, instantly. We all know AI memory is broken. That’s why Engramme has my full attention right now.

It didn’t. What looked simple turned into: • installing the skill from ClawHub • installing the binary manually on Linux • creating a Google Cloud OAuth app • tunneling localhost over SSH so the VPS OAuth callback could complete • wiring into systemd so the agent could use it non-interactively The lesson: “easy” agent tooling usually breaks at the seams between auth, infra, and runtime. I turned the whole thing into a repeatable playbook so I never have to rediscover it again. If you’re building agent workflows on a VPS, document the boring setup steps. That’s where the real friction is.

optional pork lover (@shadowfigure0) reported@tunahorse21 Its probably because your login info is your username or email but related to username. Something on one of your devices got scraped for info somewhere. Would recommend getting your 2fa changed to a secondary Gmail and get a Google number (free) and just silence the notification

Wesley (@Ambani_Wessley) reported3/ ⚡ Zero setup means what it says. I've seen "easy setup" mean: ✗ 2 hours of config ✗ A dedicated Mac mini ✗ One broken environment on Monday morning PokeeClaw: ✓ Register. Done. ✓ 1,000+ integrations — Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Jira, HubSpot, Amazon ✓ Long-context memory across every step, every app

Dustin Struckman (@d1g1t0l_com) reportedThe architecture was fundamentally broken. CloseDeals uses an MCP-first design. Claude pulls data from Gmail/Calendar, pushes it through Cowork connectors, then into the CloseDeals DB. The email brief sits downstream of all that.

Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reported7. Also check Google Drive and Photos Gmail shares the 15 GB with Drive and Photos, not just with email: - Go to Drive -> Settings-> Storage... - Sort Drive files by “Storage used” - Delete old backups, large videos, and forgotten files - In Google Photos, delete screenshots, duplicates, and blurry photos Often the real problem is Drive or Photos, not Gmail.

Glitch Valkyrie (@GlitchValkyrie) reportedThis is a reminder to GET OFF GMAIL. This will increasingly happen to everyone. Gmail is the single largest point of failure. Probably a good idea to have a backup or your own email server.
