  HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES WITH NEW GMAIL ACCOUNTS YOU’VE CREATED RECENTLY? Google is quietly testing a smaller storage limit for new Gmail accounts by trialing a 5GB storage cap for new sign-ups, down from the usual 15GB. To unlock the full 15GB, new users are required to add a phone number to their account. This change is only affecting new accounts in select regions (mostly reported in parts of Africa so far). Existing Gmail accounts remain unaffected and will continue to have the standard 15 GB storage limit. Why is Google doing this? There are two main reasons behind this move: 1. Security & Account Recovery Google wants more users to add phone numbers for better account protection and easier recovery. This has been a long-standing push, and tying storage to phone verification is a clever way to incentivize it. 2. Reducing Storage Abuse Many people create multiple Gmail accounts primarily to get more free cloud storage. By lowering the default storage for unverified accounts, Google is making it less attractive to create throwaway accounts just for storage. This move reflects a broader trend across big tech, free tiers are gradually getting tighter. Google (like many other platforms) is finding ways to: 1. Collect more user data (phone numbers) 2. Reduce abuse of free services Push users toward paid storage (Google One) over time While existing users are safe for now, this test suggests that Google may continue exploring ways to make the free experience slightly less generous for new users. So, for most of you who already have a Gmail account, you’re fine. Your 15GB isn’t going anywhere. If you’re creating new accounts, you may only get 5GB unless you verify with a phone number. This is currently a test, but if successful, it could roll out more widely. Big tech companies are slowly reshaping what “free” actually means. Storage, reach, and features that were once freely available are increasingly being used as leverage to collect more data or drive users toward paid plans.

  Good night @TheARCTERMINAL 🟧 Every major privacy scandal in tech history started the same way. “We’d never look.” Facebook “we’d never sell your data.” → Cambridge Analytica. Google “we’d never read your emails.” → Gmail ad targeting. OpenAI “we’d never share your prompts.” → Facebook Pixel embedded inside ChatGPT. The pattern never changes. Because “we’d never look” is a human promise. And humans change. Get acquired. Face regulators. Need revenue. @TheARCTERMINAL didn’t make a promise. They made the promise architecturally impossible. Server cannot read what it serves. No access path. No trust required. No way to break a promise that was never made. This is what private AI actually means. Not a policy. Not a toggle. Not a person deciding not to look. Architecture that makes looking impossible. When did “we’d never look” stop being enough for you? 👇

  I have been unable to download files from Google Docs for the past 24 hours using the HomeBox (which disrupt connectivity at will). I can't use Antigravity or download attachments from Gmail or access some websites because I keep getting timeout errors - had to get a VPN.

  Heat Pump #1: Background App Refresh Open Settings → General -→ Background App Refresh. Every app with the switch TURNED ON is running silently in the background. Right now. While you're reading this. Instagram updating. Gmail syncing. WhatsApp downloading messages. Uber checking your location. 40 to 60 apps. All using your processor quietly at the same time. It's like leaving all the burners on your stove on low. The kitchen feels fine. The pan is melting slowly. The solution: Tap "Background App Refresh" at the top set it to OFF. Or choose just "Wi-Fi". Your phone cools down instantly. The battery lasts 2 to 3 hours longer.

  @FStuvek @UnsinkableDolly @Jack__Daniel___ It was never down. It’s never been suspended. I simply forgot my password and it’s connected to an email that I no longer have access to and also connected to my phone number, but they won’t let me use it even though I’ve had that phone for at least 10 years. Gmail closed my email account that went unused without my knowledge.

  2/ The companies that win with AI won't be the ones with the most prompts. They'll be the ones with the cleanest source of truth. If your data lives across Gmail, Slack, Monday, Drive, random docs, old chats, and someone's memory... AI doesn't fix that. It exposes it.

  Most retention writers talk about cadence like it's a fatigue problem. How often is too often before subscribers tune out. That framing is downstream of the real one. The real question is whether Gmail still treats you as wanted mail. When a list goes quiet, the engagement signals Gmail uses to score the sender decay with it. By the time you fire the next campaign, the inbox has already moved you out of the primary tab. The opens come back low not because the copy got worse, but because subscribers either don't see it or don't remember opting in. Some of them mark it as spam. That's a complaint signal before anyone touches unsubscribe. I walked into an audit this week where the list had gone 131 days between campaigns. A year ago that same list opened at 38 percent. The first send back hit 8. Nobody changed the copy. Nobody changed the design. The cost of silence was the entire sender reputation.

  @kells940 if you want to do this get in claude cowork, tell it that you want to do this and have it help you make a plan on what emails to delete and setup the gmail permissions. Tell it you want a spec to feed to claude code to execute the work. give the brief to claude code (in terminal) and let it rip. if it runs into any problems paste the output into claude cowork to help you work through it.

  Users are being warned against sharing their Gmail passwords while connecting accounts to Claude, the AI assistant. Experts advise that entering primary credentials can expose multiple linked services, increasing the risk of widespread account compromise. Instead, users are urged to use Google’s app-specific password feature, which allows secure, revocable access. The advisory aims to promote safer account integration practices. Safer Login Advice 👉🏽 Cybersecurity experts highlight that Gmail accounts are often linked to multiple apps and platforms, meaning a single password leak can expose emails, logins and connected services. Users connecting Gmail to Claude are advised not to use their main password. A Google-generated app password offers limited access and can be revoked anytime without affecting the main account. Why App Passwords Matter 👉🏽 The warning comes amid growing concerns over third-party integrations and credential misuse. App passwords are designed to reduce risks by providing service-specific access instead of full account control. If compromised, users can quickly disable them via Google Account settings, ensuring stronger protection for personal data and digital identity. ⚡⚡How can platforms and users work together to make AI integrations safer for everyone?

  @Billidreamsbig It's a registration form. There was no validation restricting users to Gmail addresses only. People could submit whatever email they wanted. The issue isn't Gmail. it's the collection and storage of user data.
