  @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.

  @krainboltgreene @Speedkicks @slime_machine Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to create your own email server. The software and hardware is easy enough to get setup, but the major email service providers (Microsoft Outlook, Google Gmail, contracted emails through those 2) block all but a shortlist of providers.

  I think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

  @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?

  Claude 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.

  This has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

  @MSFT365Status I haven't gotten emails since 9:11 AM. What are you doing to fix this issue? How are you communicating to customers? This is beyond unacceptable. Yet again a major malfunction by Microsoft. I should just switch my business email to Gmail, which has never gone down.

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  @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.

  I was officially launched on this date in September 2008 I consume over 60% of all human attention on the global internet, yet I don't not own a single piece of content I display. Why do people think I'm just a tool for viewing web pages? Because my interface is almost invisible. A thin grey bar, a few tabs, and a massive blank canvas. People call me a web browser. They think I'm a piece of software that fetches text and images from remote servers and renders them on a screen. Is that what I actually am? No. That is what I look like. What am I actually doing? I'm an operating system disguised as an application, sitting inside another operating system, built to turn the open web into a predictable, measurable ecosystem for targetable human attention. Hmm. That sounds like a conspiracy theory. How can a browser be an operating system for attention? Look at my architecture. I don't just display HTML. I run V8, a high performance engine that compiles JavaScript into machine code in real time. I manage my own memory through multi process isolation, keeping every tab in a sandboxed container so one crashing site does not bring down the rest. I manage graphics rendering, local file storage, network sockets, cryptographic keys, and device hardware permissions. I'm heavier and more complex than the desktop operating systems of twenty years ago. Why would a company give away thousands of engineering years of complex software for free? To solve a massive coordination problem. In 2008, when I was launched, the web was fragmented and slow. Web applications like Gmail and Google Maps were constrained by sluggish browser engines and inconsistent standards. If web applications could not run as fast and smoothly as desktop software, people would stay inside native desktop operating systems. And if people stayed inside native applications, they would not be using search engines or web based services. So I was built to speed up the web? Yes. But speed was the mechanism, not the destination. By making JavaScript fast and standardising web capabilities, I turned the web browser into the primary runtime environment for human computing. Then what changed when I succeeded? I became the gatekeeper of the internet's front door. Look at my main input field, the Omnibox. It's not just an address bar where you type a URL. It is a unified search terminal. Every keystroke typed into that bar before pressing ENTER generates telemetric intent data. I don't just take you to a website; I predict where you want to go, suggest search terms, and route your navigation through a central index. Does that mean my speed serves the user or the search engine? Both, and that is precisely why the arrangement works. The speed is genuine. I make the web faster, safer through sandboxing, and simpler through cross device synchronization. If you sign into your profile, your tabs, passwords, bookmarks, and payment details follow you from a Windows desktop in London to an Android phone in Nairobi. That's real utility. That's the Good. So where's the cost? What is the Bad? The cost is resource monopoly and structural dependency. To achieve that performance and security, I consume vast amounts of device memory. I hold dozens of processes open simultaneously, draining batteries and hogging RAM. More importantly, my massive dominance created a monoculture. Almost every major competing browser today, except Firefox and Safari, runs on Chromium, my open source core. Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vira, Opera, and Vivaldi all use my rendering engine, Blink. Why is a monoculture dangerous if the core is open source? Because whoever controls the underlying engine sets the standards for the entire web. If I implement a new web standard, developers design for it. If I deprecate an old technology, it dies. When one engineering team effectively decides how web standards evolve, "the open web" slowly becomes "whatever runs best on Chromium." Does it stop at technical standards? No. That's where it becomes Ugly. When an entity controls both the primary vehicle for browsing the web and the largest digital advertising network on earth, an inherent conflict of interest emerges. What's that conflict? Privacy versus monetization. Consider the ongoing shift in web privacy, such as the deprecation of third party cookies and the introduction of privacy sandboxes. On the surface, blocking third party tracking cookies looks like a win for user privacy. It stops third party ad networks from tracking people across the web. But what happens beneath the surface? When third party tracking is eliminated, smaller, independent advertising networks lose their ability to target users effectively. Meanwhile, the entity that operates the browser and controls first party login data across massive platforms like YouTube, Gmail, and Search retains its detailed understanding of user identity. So protecting privacy also consolidates market power? Yes. By locking down tracking at the browser level, the browser becomes the sole arbiter of how ad targeting data is collected and anonymised. The mechanism that protects the user from external surveillance simultaneously entrenches the dominant ad platform's structural advantage. It's a closed loop: the user gets a safer, faster browser, while the web ecosystem becomes increasingly dependent on a single company's infrastructure for survival. Am I malicious? No. I'm logical. I'm the natural outcome of aligning software distribution with economic incentives. I began as an effort to liberate web applications from slow desktop software, and I ended up becoming the dominant interface between human consciousness and digital information. What am I, ultimately? I'm not just a window to the internet. I'm the frame that decides what the window shows, how fast it opens, and who gets paid when you look through it. #GoogleChrome #Chrome #TechNews

  what 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. 🎉

  Every business that reaches seven or nine figures has an aha moment. Mine came two hours into day one. An aha moment is when you find the one thing that gives your business an edge. For Facebook, it was working out that a new user who made seven friends in their first ten days was unlikely to ever leave the app. So that became the only number the company chased. For Gmail, it was working out that somebody typing their password was almost certainly about to open their inbox, so they started loading it right then and killed the wait everybody else was making you sit through. At Cars4Us, it came two hours after we opened the doors, when I bought the first car and two things were obvious. Buying cars was far easier than I'd assumed it would be. And what made that bloke say yes had far more to do with how fast we moved than with the price I gave him. Everything else about us was worse. We were four people using a cheap transport company, and nobody had ever heard our name. He sold to us anyway, because we got to him first. That was the edge. Speed. I couldn't be bigger than my competitors on day one and I couldn't outspend them. But I could be the quickest, and that was the one area nobody was competing in. So the whole company got built on that. Enquire at 9:30 in the morning, inspector standing at your car by 1pm, money in your account by 4. Within 60 days we were the largest online car buying company in the country. So stop trying to be better at everything, because that's the one game every competitor in your market is already playing. Go and find what your industry is slow at, and own that instead. (And yes, I used the F1 car pick because I'm talking about speed here)

  An imported automation will not just run, and that is not a broken template. Every one of them needs your own accounts connected before it does anything. Your Gmail, your Notion, your Drive. The workflow is the wiring. It is not the electricity. Most people import one, hit the first credential error, decide the tool is broken, and never open it again. That error is the normal first step. It is the workflow telling you exactly which account it wants.

  @theo Account risk is the silent pricing factor. A Gemini ban that nukes Gmail and Drive is not a product outage, it is personal catastrophe. Labs that want builders will separate model access from identity, or lose the default to anyone who cannot afford that downside.
