    @TheSpiciestLRQ I have the 17 Pro Max and didn’t have to re-enter my passwords. They’re saved (if you save them!). Only the Gmail passwords, because that’s not iOS. But the keyboard issue is true and absolutely frustrating. Not just the autocorrect—the keyboard itself sometimes misses letters while typing! It’s time-wasting and super annoying 🙄

    You’ve probably had one of those days where the work never really starts, no matter how hard you try. A few calls in the morning. Slack pops off constantly. A deck lies, waiting, in one tab with Gmail in another and Canva in the third. You’ve been pulled away for a few “quick check-ins” several times, and you have a meeting in 15, so you can’t really dig into a big task. By the end of the day, you’ve been busy the whole time, but the deep work you really need to do still feels untouched. This kind of interrupted thinking is called “fragmentation”, and there’s plenty of research on it. The most salient point is that fragmentation carries a high cognitive cost. The American Psychological Association notes that even brief mental blocks caused by switching between tasks can consume as much as 40% of one’s productivity. One study, conducted by the University of California, showed that people completed interrupted work faster, but only by compensating with more stress, more frustration, more time pressure, and more effort. You’d think if it were such a widely documented phenomenon that we’d do more to avoid it, but that’s not the case. The workplace is only becoming more fragmented. Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index found that employees are interrupted every two minutes during the workday by meetings, emails, or pings, with 60% of meetings classed as ad hoc. That’s a real problem, no matter your field. Productivity and the flow state many of us strive to achieve requires some element of uninterrupted time to achieve. If your day is constantly being broken into smaller and smaller pieces, you lose the conditions you need to work meaningfully. It comes back to a point we’ve covered recently about your environment: If the work feels flat, don’t just ask whether the team has enough talent or whether the brief is strong enough. Instead, ask what kind of environment the thinking is happening in. If your team is struggling with interruptions, it’s usually an easy place to start overhauling.

    An update on everything: John’s personal Discord and Gmail accounts remain unrecovered as of this moment as we wait for support from Discord and Google. None of the accounts of any other VTRC members have been affected. John’s access to our business accounts was also removed before any could be accessed, which includes both the robot platform and our payment platform. As for the VTRC Discord server, the attacker revoked admin permissions for all other accounts. Since John’s account was the server owner, nothing could be done to stop it. The attacker then proceeded to delete any message in the server which attempted to warn everyone else and ban the accounts that posted them. Meanwhile, the attacker posed as John and continued to send direct messages to server members and John’s contacts to spread the malicious file which compromised several people’s PCs. We are currently using a new Discord server since we currently have no way of removing John’s compromised account from our original server. Upcoming events will be posted and conducted in the new server that is now linked to this profile. The Super Battle Golf tournament that was originally scheduled for this weekend will also be in the new server but will have to be postponed due to a staff illness. New dates will be announced soon. Please remain vigilant and stay safe. Those who took John’s account are still at it. Do not click any links or download any files unless you are 100% sure they are safe. Verify the identity of anyone who sends you a message. Make sure who you are talking to is actually who you think you are talking to. If you still have sensitive information in a DM, delete those individual messages immediately. Lastly, we’d like to apologize to everyone. We at the VTRC take pride in the trust many of you have bestowed upon us. We know this is not easily earned, and after recent events, it is only fair that you withdraw such trust. We recognize that we have failed to ensure the safety of our community. We promise to do better and hope our actions moving forward will show our commitment to everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Thank you.

    Synta search data is showing where automation demand is leaking. Last week’s top internal searches: Slack: 87 Gmail: 63 Drive: 39 Webhook: 35 HTTP: 33 Sheets: 33 That is not a tool list. It is a map of workflows people keep failing to connect. The expensive pattern usually looks like this: Slack has the decision. Gmail has the customer request. Drive has the file. Sheets has the source of truth. A webhook or HTTP call is the bridge nobody wants to own. If you sell automation, start there. Do not ask “what AI agent do you want?” Ask: 1. Which app holds the request? 2. Which app holds the record? 3. Which human copies between them? 4. How many times does that happen each week? 5. What breaks when the copy is late or wrong? A 4-minute handoff running 300 times/month is 20 hours/month before errors. At £25/hour, that is £500/month of admin drag sitting inside one boring integration. The best workflow offers usually come from the apps people already search for. Slack to Gmail. Gmail to Sheets. Drive to CRM. Form to webhook. Webhook to owner review. Find the repeated bridge. Name the owner. Add the fallback. Store proof it ran. That is where the build becomes worth paying for.

    @gmail I have an email.. I accidentally deleted it on my phone 6 months ago . And when I try to login it tells me to use a recognized device. I always use my phone. And when it's successfully accepted, it sends the recovery code to the same email and I can't access. Help me

    @ProtonPrivacy @Forbes I don't know, I'm using Thunderbird to get my emails from gmail. I'm using Brave for browsing. I really don't get advertisement shoved down my throat. And more important, ads has no influence on me. The value of is $0. Are there actually people who click ads?

    @ProtonPrivacy @Forbes I don't see any adverts in my emails. I've had accounts from when @gmail was invitation only. I'm more concerned about honeypots and who/what is behind companies. I found a VPN server being run from a police station in Manchester, UK, a few years ago. It's since closed down.

    This is where AI needs to be: 1. Login with Gmail 2. Type “I need $1000/month” 3. Agent asks you details 4. You specify details 5. Direct deposit hits 15 days later

    @jarrodwatts Build the thing you keep almost-building and giving up on because it'd "take too long" — that's literally what these credits are for. For me it's an MCP server that cleans email triage rules across Gmail and Outlook with one prompt. Boring but I'd actually use it.

  • SynapticArcWeld
    Synaptic Arc Welders (@SynapticArcWeld) reported

    @xai @grok Having a weird issue with image generation. I have two separate paid accounts — one through X Premium+ and one standalone SuperGrok account (Gmail). I was actually planning to use both for professional work. I’m running the same rated-R prompts on both. For the last two days, every single attempt on my standalone SuperGrok account gets moderated and blocked, while the Premium+ account works fine. Same prompts, same user — completely different treatment. Because of this extreme inconsistency, I’m seriously questioning whether I should renew either subscription going forward. Is this a bug or are the two accounts being moderated differently on purpose?

    During all of the Podesta emails scandal it was discovered that many people used the same gmail account. Each would log in, respond to an email and save it in drafts. The next person would login, respond and save it in the 'Drafts' folder.' They thought that was pretty slick

  • patrick_oshag
    Patrick OShaughnessy (@patrick_oshag) reported

    The best piece of advice Brian ever got was from Paul Graham (@paulg): "It's better to have a hundred people love you than a million people sort of like you." "That came from Paul Buchheit (@paultoo). Paul was a partner at Y Combinator. He created Gmail. The famous story was he couldn't ship it until 100 people inside of Google love it. It actually took two years to get 100 people to actually like the product. But once a hundred people like something, a hundred million people like it. The problem is, if you try to make something a million people like, you can't talk to a million people. It's like you're trying to heat up an ocean and you can't tell. Instead of heating up an ocean, heat up a bathtub. Make the problem as small as possible. Do things that don't scale, then scale. Product market fit is a distinct problem from industrialization. Understand the user, put yourself in their shoes, blow their mind. Do things you've never thought before. Do them by hand. Make them unscalable. Don't worry how much it costs. Just prove the model."

  • Harry_The_Nerd
    Harshit Khosla (@Harry_The_Nerd) reported

    If you have noticed, Gmail knows instantly if a username is taken. No loading spinner or delay... just a quiet little ✅ or ❌ as you type. Here's the brief post about insane engineering behind that tiny moment: First, Gmail doesn't check on every keystroke. That'd be chaos. Instead it uses "DEBOUNCING" . It waits for you to pause ( approx. 400ms) before doing anything. Seems small, but this alone cuts like 90% of unnecessary requests. Then, the moment you pause, a lightweight AJAX/HTTP request silently fires to a dedicated microservice. Not a general server. To service that exists purely to answer: "Does this username exist?" It returns something like { available: false } ...that's it. Tiny payload. On the backend, Gmail isn't running a SQL query like SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'harry. That would be extremely slow at Google scale (billions of accounts). Instead, usernames are stored in Bigtable - Google's distributed NoSQL database. Here the username is the key. So the lookup is O(1). Direct. Like checking a dictionary, not reading a whole book. And because popular usernames get checked millions of times a day, results are cached in-memory. The answer often never even touches the database. On top of that, Google's edge servers mean your request barely travels. It hits infrastructure geographically close to you, so network latency is almost zero. So what feels like magic is actually: debounce -> microservice -> edge routing -> in-memory cache -> Bigtable key lookup -> response, all in under 100ms. The best engineering is the kind you never notice. That little checkmark? Decades of distributed systems thinking, invisible to the user.

  • TheBeaconAI
    The Beacon AI (@TheBeaconAI) reported

    Google's Gmail integration reveals AI personalization's real consent problem The feature is called Personal Intelligence. The controversy it triggered is about something older and harder to fix. A social media post viewed over 6.5 million times exposed what many users hadn't noticed: automatically opted in to allow Gmail to access private messages to train AI models. Google's response: no policies changed, Gmail content isn't used to train Gemini. Both things can be technically true. Neither one resolved the problem. The actual issue isn't what Google is doing. It's that most users have no accurate mental model of what's happening to their data at any given moment. Personal Intelligence routes existing stored data into AI responses. From a policy standpoint, that's a meaningful distinction. From a user's standpoint, the line between "Google has my email" and "Google's AI is actively reading my email to answer my questions" feels like a different thing entirely. To fully escape AI scanning, users must disable three separate features buried across different menus. The opt-out exists. Finding it requires more technical literacy than most users have. The default state effectively becomes the permanent state for 1.8 billion Gmail users. Users in the EU, UK, and Japan have these features disabled by default. That gap is not an accident. It's regulatory arbitrage in practice. Every AI assistant that gets genuinely useful is one that knows more about you. The usefulness and the privacy exposure scale together. The question the industry hasn't answered is whether meaningful consent is possible at this level of data integration, or whether "opt-in" has become a word that describes a checkbox and nothing more.

    Hey folks 👋 Quick update from my side. I keep getting Telebugs demo requests from random Gmail addresses. I reply asking about the project and company so I can spin up a proper instance... and then nothing (crickets) Demos are free, but every one costs me real server time and money. So I’m adding a small step: if you’re not on a business email, you’ll need to do a quick verification first. Just trying to keep things sustainable while still offering free demos to people who actually want to use Telebugs. Thanks for understanding.
