Amine (@halalmails) reportedFounders think BFCM prep starts in November By then it’s already too late Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook don’t judge your emails on Black Friday. They judge you on what you’ve been doing in the weeks leading up to it The emails you send this month decide whether your November campaigns land in the inbox or rot in spam If you email subscribers who open and click, better placement, more opens, better reputation. The loop pays you If you blast a full list that mostly ignores you, promotions tab, then spam, then a reputation that keeps sliding. The loop bleeds you By the time Black Friday hits, the loop is already locked. You can’t fix it in a weekend What to actually do this month: → Send only to subscribers who opened or clicked in the last 90 days → If above 40% open rate ibcrease to 120 days if less decrease to 60 days → Exclude Marked as spam, unsubscribed, dropped and suppressed atleast once overall time. → Keep sending consistently 3-4 a week, 80% designed, 20% plain text →Clean your list every 2 weeks Black Friday is won in the weeks most founders spend ignoring email

Praetor (@FourVork) reportedIt's crazy how everyone is praising Grok Bot, but let me be the annoying person who tells you why it still kinda sucks. 1. The actual capabilities of agents are not novel. Most of the demos I've seen can already be done with Hermes and similar setups, often with smarter models and more control. The difference is that Grok Bot gives you everything out of the box ,without setup and wiring things together. 2. The agent itself is still pretty weak. The UX makes you want to delegate ambitious tasks to it, but the underlying model/agent doesn't always live up to that promise. It takes dumb paths, burns through context/tokens surprisingly fast, and needs more babysitting than the "AI employee" framing suggests. Also, there's no native X search which is especially funny for a product coming from (you have x_search on @grok but not on @bot which needs to use x connection and burn credits). 3. The security model deserves way more attention. All your Bots share the same computer, including files, cookies, browser sessions, and logins. So once you start logging into Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, internal dashboards, etc., a prompt injection or compromised webpage suddenly has a much bigger blast radius. Well, these were the main issues I had with grok bot (apart from smaller issues like absence of read aloud) and why I stick with hermes. But on the other hand, the product is genuinely good, and this is why.

janschweppes (@jAnschCS) reported@TechsavvyCS It was surprising that so many people were experiencing this problem. With a simple automation set up in Gmail, I redirect the incoming email to Telegram, and by using a long ringtone in Telegram, I can wake up even while asleep and deliver the item. Updated your research

Martijn Verbove (@verbove) reported@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.

AI Mastery Guide (@aiseomastery) reportedChatGPT 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.

Patrick Lu (@lightninglu10) reported@jjacky Yes, very easy. Use Google cloud, add Gmail api, add Gmail mcp or equivalent, may require you to add the secret json somewhere, oauth and login, but now ai has your inbox. If you want to give the agent its own inbox, just do the same thing

☆~ ASHTHA ~☆ (@DivyaKashy43898) reported@XSupport My friend is unable to access their X account @cuteshivi77. The password is correct, but X keeps showing “Incorrect Password.” We have requested a password reset several times, but the OTP/reset email is not being received on the registered Gmail account. Please look into this issue and help restore access to the account. Kindly fix the password reset/OTP issue as soon as possible. 🙏 #XSupport #AccountRecovery #PasswordReset

Lovable (@_lovablecurves) reportedwhat I did to troubleshoot the fact that there is no @Mailchimp connector yet and I didn’t wanna set up an API or an MCP I just connected it to the associated Gmail and I gave it the instruction that throughout the month. I’m gonna send photos information and recap on events we have with the title “month, Year MailChimp newsletter” so at the end of the month it can review all the stuff I’ve sent it to put together in this email and then it can also review the previous months email to cross-reference and check for other items that are relevant to add to the email… so I can just dump all the content in my Gmail inbox and it can work and its own computer and MailChimp after I login. 🎉

JovanHuttonPulitzer™ אני לא סובל טיפשים! (@JovanHPulitzer) reported@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.

Repzion (@DarthhPotato) reportedTakingback2007 is now issuing false copyright strikes because he is salty I covered a now "privated" live stream of me trolling them in a livestream chat. I know YouTube doesn't care about false claims, but my 3 hr long ideo will go down in 6 days. I'll be counter-filing as per usual. I just finished court with onision last month over this. my other livestream was court-ordered to be restored. When will YouTube stop allowing bad actors to abuse copyright, using less than 2 mins of a video, to remove a 3 hr long video is ridiculously hilarious. There used to be a time when you had to have an actual business email account to file copyright strikes, now you can just do it with any gmail account. This same person filing this false strike was on livestream on youtube (now privated) yesterday of him loading a firearm mag and writing names of people on his glock bullet casings who he wants to harm. Takingback2007 is a new level of insane I've come across with on Youtube.

Gauransh soni (@gauranshsoni) reported@rowancheung I use Gmail help me write because I just dumb down what I want to do, and it writes me a decent-ish email to things like support or so.

XRB - The Throwfessional (@Throwfessional) reported@discord account is DOA for a while until i can get access to my gmail again. Waiting on @TeamYouTube to help. Sadly it looks like the thief has taken the youtube account down as well. How in the hell are people still have to take accounts with multiple levels of 2fa?

Chaotic (@Chaotic_sama) reported@MRHarleyson Both cases I submitted is close, I told Discord supports (on Direct message Twitter/ X) and the support ticket about my gmail have been also hacked that I have no way to sign in. I told them that the gmail account have been hacked and brushed me off that (1/2)

Thomas O'Connor '62 baby, #GodBlessAmerica 🇺🇲 (@TheyCallMeTomO1) reported@MSFT365Status I LOST AN ENTIRE DAY! I had to use my Gmail account with a note at the bottom of each email apologizing for using a Gmail email account instead of my business email account because Microsoft has issues! That was early this morning and you're still down! Come on Microsoft get your act together! I'm moving my email to another email service if this isn't fixed by 9am PDT..! Enough-is-Enough!

JC Christopher (@JCChristopher) reported@RealMarkHe @bot I'm a Grok Heavy user, so honestly I have not had any issues. But I will acknowledge that I am not using it for certain things that take a lot of tokens: I am not programming a website or application, building a database, or cleaning up my Gmail (I'm retired, so I don't give a damn about email, one of the perks of retirement). I am using Bot the way 90% of the public would likely use it, as employees and confidants.

MostlyHarmless (@harmless_human) reported@rallynate @kbean511 There has probably been a data center near most of them for years and they didnt know. Where do they think netflix and youtube video is stored and all the photos on grandma facebook and gmail account they never delete anything from? The real issue is the mega computer centers running AI programming that shouldnt even be called data centers.

Pam Kassner (@pkassner) reported@MSFT365Status My test emails from gmail to my ms/godaddy email continue to fail “because the remote server is misconfigured.”

A Mithra Is Fine Too (@Mithra_Is_Fine) reported@x_PuraVida_x @IntCyberDigest The age of spoofed email is basically over with near universal DKIM and SPF. You can’t even get delivered to gmail without those, and if you have them setup no real mail server will deliver a spoofed email from your domain.

Mindy (@Mindy43087085) reported@paulickreport Why are you now requiring a gmail account to comment, to even read comments? Please go back to just any email, or make a login/sign in for your specific site.

Jojo (@Bangeek) reported@huacnlee Tried your app. Sign-in offers either Google Auth or IMAP. I went with IMAP, then found out Gmail no longer accepts password logins. Tried switching back to Google Auth: impossible. Uninstalled and reinstalled — still stuck on the "Add an IMAP mailbox" screen. Can you fix this?

Jordan Fry 🪐 (@jordanfry) reportedOne of my top media buyers told me my plan was wrong on Friday. He had the numbers. I was the one who had to change. I'd asked how he wanted to split brand and non-brand across Shopping and Performance Max on a client account. I already had a view. Shopping on brand, PMax on prospecting. Clean. Conventional. What I would have built myself. He came back with something different. Search and Shopping carry brand and non-brand. Demand Gen takes prospecting because Demand Gen lets you choose your placements and PMax doesn't. Then he showed me why. When we pushed PMax harder earlier in the month, the campaign quietly reallocated almost all of its spend into Gmail and the return collapsed. Pull the budget back down and it went straight back to Search. He'd also caught something I hadn't weighted. The branded PMax campaign in the same account is performing fine. So rather than shutting it off, he wanted to step it down gradually and watch whether Shopping absorbs the volume. That's a better plan than mine. Not even close. Here's the part I keep thinking about. He didn't ask permission to disagree. He'd already run the analysis, already built the counter-position, and sent it in a Slack message on a Friday afternoon. That doesn't happen by accident, and it isn't a personality trait. It happens when disagreeing has never cost anyone anything. The version of this that goes wrong is quiet. Someone sees the mix shift, assumes the founder already knows, and executes the worse plan anyway. Nobody argues. The account just underperforms for a quarter and nobody can point to why. I'd rather be corrected on a Friday than be right in a room where nobody talks. This is why hiring the right people is everything.

Martin Szerment | Practical AI (@MartinSzerment) reportedClaude can now run your Mac in the background while you do something else, and that quietly ends the debate about whether AI agents need your full attention. Everyone assumed autonomous computer control meant giving up your screen, watching a cursor move while you wait. That assumption is wrong now, at least on macOS 15. Sonnet 4.6 scores 72.5% on OSWorld, up from under 15% when computer use first shipped in late 2024. Two years took the model from novelty to something close to reliable. Yes, it's Pro and Max only, macOS only, still marked research preview. None of that changes the direction, it only changes the rollout schedule. This isn't a new feature, it's a shift in where automation lives. For a decade we treated automation as an API problem. Now the interface itself is the integration layer. Give it three years and clicking through a UI will be the fallback path, not the exception, for every agent that lacks a direct connector. Connectors like Slack and Gmail stop being the main event and become a shortcut Claude reaches for first, before it falls back to acting like you would. Engineers who spent years building bespoke API integrations are about to watch screen control eat a chunk of that work. Multitasking on a Mac just got a second set of hands, and most people haven't noticed yet.

Altr (@altrhorizon) reported@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!
