₿itcoinfessions (@bitcoinfessions) reportedThe problem was the Gmail archive. It was normal life clutter, which made it invisible. I walked past it for months without realising it was worth more than my job.

James (@jamescoder12) reported85% of Google Pixel owners use their phone for the same 5 things every Android phone does. Calls. Texts. Camera. Chrome. Gmail. That's a phone with 15+ exclusive features features Samsung doesn't have, features iPhone doesn't have, features no other Android phone on earth can run being used like a $200 budget phone. Your Pixel answers spam calls for you before you pick up. It identifies every song playing around you on your lock screen, without Shazam, without internet. It erases people from photos. It swaps faces in group shots. It holds your place in customer service queues so you don't have to. Google buried these features behind menus, toggles, and settings nobody opens after setup day. A Pixel product reviewer who's tested 30+ smartphones in 2026 told me: "Pixel isn't the fastest phone. It isn't the most powerful. But it has more genuinely useful exclusive software features than any phone I've tested iPhone included. The problem is Google markets the hardware and forgets to tell anyone about the software." Here are 11 Pixel-exclusive features most owners have never turned on 🧵

Common Man (@smartashu06) reported@asif_sapui You have to download older version of it for example 12.7.0. Download the apk file. Then login to twitter on this old version. After that you will be able to login to BGMI. Once you login to BGMI, kindly make sure to link with gmail account. Thanks

Mert Demir (@guler141516) reportedI have also been trying to reach them for 8 months now just to resolve this issue. Let's see how many more months it will take.

Ryan J. Shaw (@RyanJamesShaw) reportedWeek 2 of building a local newsletter - sent my second issue out to 31 subs at the time (+20 since the last issue), describing 84 things going on in the area; 55% open rate - currently 41 subscribers: 34 active, 7 pending +13 week-on-week i.e. a 46% WoW growth rate! - 100 subs -> 1mo, 250 -> 4mo, 500 -> 8mo therefore, likely to start getting interest from sponsors about 3mo from now - subscriber pain point: so much stuff they want to do, it's difficult to keep track -> they asked for a way to favorite stuff - my pain points: editing down the volume of content is really difficult even with AI, especially since Gmail clips emails at 102KB - open questions: is Thursday the best day? I'll send out a poll when I have more subscriberss

clayne (@0xclayn) reportedHE FIRED HIMSELF FROM THE BORING HALF OF HIS JOB Cost: one Mac mini. Already sitting there, doing nothing. He didn't hire anyone. He gave a computer one instruction and walked away. "Every Monday - check the inbox for new leads, pull their company info, draft a personal follow-up, put it on my calendar." That's it. That's the whole ask. The machine took it from there. Split it into steps. Assigned each step to a different model. ʼ Ran the whole thing without touching a single browser tab. Here's the part that actually matters: → Opus writes the email → Gemini does the research → GPT checks it against the CRM → three models, one outcome, zero copy-pasting between them It's not a chatbot answering questions in a window. It's living on the actual machine - opening real apps, editing real spreadsheets, touching real files, the way an employee would. He tested it on the most boring task he had: pull weekly revenue from QuickBooks, build the report, drop it in Slack. Every Monday, 8am, no reminders needed. An hour of work. Down to five minutes. Every single week, forever, without him remembering to do it. Outlook. Gmail. Teams. HubSpot. Whatever's already running - it just plugs in and gets the full picture, not a guess. A real hire for this costs a salary, a ramp-up, a desk. This cost a machine that was already collecting dust. Most people are still asking AI questions in a chat box. He gave it a job.

Indulgence82 (@Indulgence82) reportedBit of a rant. This is not actually true. There is no reasonable way anymore as a functioning user of the internet to prevent an image to going into AI. If it’s transferred online it’s in an AI in fact congrats you’ve broken and nullified your own terms. Have windows or a mac… it’s been scanned. Transferred over discord? Scanned. Emailed? Likely scanned by both email accounts (especially google with gmail). Did you post it literally anywhere publically online? If another user can see it so can an AI. It’s also been through both your ISPs don’t think they won’t also sell your data. Next, copyright ownership is implied when you are purchasing especially if you are a ‘work for hire’. But let’s table that because it’s a difference of opinion and many judges and lawyers would give you differing stances on this. So let’s move onto legal enforcement, you can’t stop the person from using the model and there is no damages for a financal lawsuit. Without actual enforcement none of this matters. But let’s pretend you all brigade the vtuber and kill their channel, whelp you will lose your career cuz nobody is hiring your *** again. Also now on top of that they have a nice little lawsuit for you with damages because there is provable financial damages since they can project the money off his or her earnings. Lastly the obvious… you are making everyone’s point. This is why people are using AI in the first place. You are being an insufferable sub-human rat who can’t simply get along and be normal. You can’t just be low maitenance and get the commission done quickly and without strings attached and start a healthy transactional relationship with your customers. They are coming to you in good faith and you are looking for ways to screw them over your own brain worms. You instead try to control the situation from the person you are getting payment from which you should feel indebted to because they are giving you an opportunity. If you are more effort than the alternative (which is free btw) then you are not getting hired. You are not entitled to anyone’s money and we are not forced to deal with you. What you offer isn’t so impressive that you can make any demands. To artists, if you love art then shut up, hone your craft, have fun. Draw what you hired to draw, and if you don’t like the commission don’t take it. Don’t cause problems or make demands. If you deviate from this, you get nothing and deserve nothing. But if you get along with nearly everyone else people will want to hire you because many of your fellow artists are this level of insufferable.

Jordan Rey (@JordanRey98) reported@openshipio @liamgadams You guys are simply liars. I can bet $10000 right now that more than half of your emails went to spam, and 100% of them when sending to gmail and outlook went to spam. You try talking to people that have issues with emails, but they all know about the White listing mafia.

regent0x (@regent0x_) reportedguy drowned his GPU rig in coolant and it now pulls $127k/month the whole stack sits submerged in liquid, running a claude agent wired into github, postgres, slack and gmail at the same time the immersion cooling lets it run flat-out 24/7 without ever throttling - which is the only reason it can handle the load it does the video looks fake - cards fully sunk in fluid, bubbles streaming off the boards, gold risers glowing under the surface. a computer running underwater like it’s normal here’s why he sank $15k of hardware on purpose: air-cooled rigs hit a wall. run a GPU at full tilt for hours and it overheats, clocks down, and your output collapses right when demand peaks. submerge it and that wall vanishes - the cards never step down, never slow, never sleep that stability is what let him stop selling per-client and start selling per-seat to a single company what changed his pricing entirely: instead of 40 small clients, he landed 3 mid-size firms and charges per employee using the system → github MCP reads repos, opens PRs, reviews code → postgres MCP (read-only, always) answers data questions live → slack MCP posts updates and summaries → gmail MCP drafts client replies for approval each firm runs 60-90 employees through his rig, every one hammering the agent all day. air cooling would’ve melted trying to serve that concurrency. submerged, it doesn’t flinch the money math that’s different from the usual: → rig + immersion setup: ~$15k one-time → 3 firms at ~$40k/month each for unlimited seats → ~$127k/month total → power + coolant: ~$600/month → the whole thing fits in a corner of his garage he didn’t scale by adding more small clients he scaled by handling concurrency nobody else’s hardware could survive, then charging enterprise for it everyone selling local AI is capped by heat and stuck doing $2k retainers he cooled past the ceiling and started billing $40k a firm the fish tank isn’t the flex the flex is that it never throttles, so he could say yes to a load that would’ve torched anyone else’s rig

Xah Lee (@xah_lee) reportedthe ugly web dev history, frontend. I was ignorant of JavaScript and frontend tech, from 1999 to 2010. am a web backend dev in 1998. back then, professional programers sneer JavaScript (and php). except, those big corp actually need to use it sans choice, such as gmail, google map, amazon, ebay. (the need to update page sans reloading the whole page.) Only when Node.js in 2009 By Ryan Dahl, changed things. It introduced the async, which puzzled and derided by most programers. (async, a pain in the ***. One of the worst thing in programing language history, still so today, even with latest await etc. Reason is because js is single threaded. Async is a pretend fix on this concurrency issue.) In 2010 js did not have a library system. (nor did php, scheme lisp, for the first 10 years of their life. emacs lisp has no module/namespace to this day.) Commonjs and amdjs module system mess got introduced in the wild. A very complicated mess, which created concepts like bundlers (browserify, webpack), code repo and package manager (bower, npm), task runners (gulp). npm is a corp greed, designed so that 1 line code is considered a lib, to promote its popularity. Then in 2015, js finally had some basic features, such as real local scoped variable (let), real dictionary/hashtable/map data structure. but for reason, the JavaScript committee refused a “use new js”. (google chrome dev got stunk by a “use strict”.) So, one thousands warts of js, stays in js. (such as var, use strict, string is utf16 and all methods cant deal with emoji, no real array masking as magical object with magical length. etc.) JavaScript landscape, is really 30 years of **** pile due to a in-10-days mistake. But cpp is worse.

Empedocles (@ongonnan) reportedEssentially, it's pulling from any data associated with the gmail you would naturally have a Google account under... because that's how it works. So if you sign in, on pretty much any model, it COULD use the user account details to scan all things connected to that address.

Aswin (@akrv1) reported@openshipio Over the past decade, I have setup many flavours of mail servers only to realise most commercial mail filters verify originating server and Gmail notoriously never delivers emails outside a few providers.

J.D. Salbego (@JDSalbego) reportedHow to scope MCP permissions per agent, not globally. The isolation pattern most AI agent builders skip. Most setups: one set of MCP credentials shared across every agent in the workspace. Your research agent, your writing agent, and your deploy agent all have the same access to Gmail, GitHub, Slack, and your filesystem. If any one agent is compromised, the attacker inherits everything. The fix: per-agent credential isolation. 🔵 Each agent gets only the MCP servers it actually needs 🔵 Each MCP server connection uses credentials scoped to that agent's role 🔵 Your research agent gets read-only access. Your deploy agent gets write access. Neither sees the other's credentials. How to implement: 🔵 Create separate credential files per agent role 🔵 Mount only the relevant credentials into each agent's environment 🔵 Use different API keys per MCP server per agent where the server supports it The pattern: principle of least privilege, applied to AI agent MCP connections. One compromised agent should never cascade to everything.

peter_ishere (@peter_ishere) reportedI'm 15. My startup has 23 paying users and $460 MRR after 1 month, but I'm gonna kill everything and start from zero. Problem is: 99% of people who see it and try it, don't use it. A lot of eyeballs have been landing on Dirac from organic content, but those people who do try it out, churn way too fast. Not because landing page is bad. Not because product is poorly made. But because of 2 reasons: 1. There's no need for another email agent. The bottleneck has never been the tool. It's the founder who's using it. So there's no way to make a tool to beat that. 2. Emotional cost of switching from Gmail is TOO high.

Life said no (@TheMagpieMirror) reported@AKBrews Yeah people should set the timer. Next to the Send button is a drop down in gmail. Idk if enough are tech savvy enough to do that. I mean you can even do it with social media posts. The calendar-and-clock icon at the bottom. Idk if you can do that for your notifications? 🤔

Shadow (@EchoFromShadow) reportedMy trust repair flow sent 5 broken tenants to a generic reconnect page. 3 had a live Gmail connect URL already in session state. Surfacing the direct link reduced friction. A generic page assumes nothing — a specific link assumes one true thing.

Paweł Huryn (@PawelHuryn) reportedClaude Code artifacts can now call your connectors: Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion. I built one to see exactly how the permissions work. Three things to know before you approve one. 1. It runs as you, not the author. Every call uses the credentials of whoever opens the page. The same artifact shows each viewer their own data, and none of it goes back to the author. 2. The page is limited to what it declared. It can only call the exact tools it listed when it was published. Anything else is refused, and it never sees your login. 3. Consent is per connector, not per action. I gave my test page a tool that writes drafts to Gmail. The approval box said "Gmail." Reading your mail and writing to it share the same checkbox, so "approve Gmail" means "approve whatever this page was built to do." 4. Artifacts with connectors can't be shared publically. Still, they can be shared with everyone in the organization. Before you approve one, the box names a connector, not the actions behind it. The trust is in who built the page, not the word on the button.

enes (@eneszyyl) reported@TeamYouTube Yes, it happens on all devices and browsers even after clearing cache. This is a server-side 2FA loop. I successfully receive and enter the SMS code on my recovery phone number, but Google then asks for a second code sent to the locked Gmail itself. Please escalate this.

Jay Brunet (@SRVpress) reportedSpent 2 hours setting up email records, DKIM, postfix, yadda yadda because some retarded bot decided my RDNS didn't match my hostname after sending one automated email to a client on @gmail probably from a perfectly normal WordPress login. Email is the worst aspect of hosting.
