Dr Prosper The Philosopher (@ProsperThePhilo) reportedStop Storing Your Medical School Files on Your Phone: If you're a medical student having problems with where to store your lecture slides because your phone storage keeps getting full... If you're always struggling to find files on your phone... If you've ever changed your phone and lost access to your lecture slides... Then I want to let you know that this isn't really a phone problem. It's simply because you're using the wrong storage system. As a medical student, you're not supposed to be storing your important academic files permanently on your phone. Yes. Have you heard of something called cloud storage? Cloud storage simply means storing your important files on secure servers online instead of inside your phone. Think about it. Your phone has limited storage. Depending on the model you're using, it may have 64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB of storage. But over several years of medical school, you'll accumulate thousands of lecture slides, hundreds of PDFs, anatomy atlases, textbooks, videos, practical manuals, charts, flashcards and past questions. Eventually, your phone becomes crowded. The smarter approach is to let your phone become a temporary device—not your permanent library. For example... Google gives every Google account 15 GB of free cloud storage (shared across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos). If you're using an Android phone, chances are you already have a Google account. That means you already have free cloud storage waiting for you. If you have a Microsoft account, OneDrive gives you 5 GB of free cloud storage. If you use an iPhone, iCloud gives you 5 GB of free storage. There are also services like Dropbox and MEGA that offer free cloud storage as well. These services exist for a reason. Use them. If you have textbooks, don't store them permanently in your phone's internal storage. Instead... Open Google Drive. Create one proper Google account dedicated to medical school. Inside that account, create folders. For example: - Anatomy - Physiology - Biochemistry - Histology - Embryology - Pharmacology - Pathology - Microbiology - Surgery - Medicine Now open your Anatomy folder. Inside it, create another folder called Gross Anatomy. Inside Gross Anatomy, create folders like: - Lecture Slides - Textbooks - Past Questions - Clinical Correlations - Charts - Practical Manuals Now begin uploading. Upload. Upload. Upload. Stick to one Google Drive account throughout your entire medical school. You'll be surprised. Five or six years later, you'll look back and realize you've built an entire medical library. Everything you've ever studied... Every lecture slide... Every textbook... Every practical manual... Every chart... Every past question... Waiting for you in one organized place. Another thing. Learn to use Google Photos. All those anatomy diagrams... Charts... Clinical pictures... Embryology illustrations... Practical photographs... Store them inside Google Photos instead of leaving them on your phone. As long as you know your email and password, you can access them from anywhere in the world. Your phone. Another phone. A tablet. A laptop. Even a computer in a cyber café. If your phone gets stolen today... Nothing important is lost. Because your library isn't inside your phone. It's online. There are paid cloud services that provide even larger storage capacities, but honestly, the free options are enough for most students starting out. Now here's a habit I think every student should build. Whenever you download something important... Don't leave it sitting on your phone. Instead: Download it. Upload it to your cloud storage. Delete it from your phone. Download. Upload. Delete. Repeat. Your phone remains light. Your files remain safe. Your library keeps growing.

Jun Song (@jun_song) reportedThere are rumors that Gemini 3.7 Flash has been spotted. Google holding back Gemini Pro might actually be a calculated strategic choice. They are facing severe compute issues right now, to the point where they cut off Meta's Gemini supply (Forbes). This shortfall is absurd considering it persists even after signing a $920M/month compute deal with SpaceX. People tend to dismiss Gemini because it is bad at coding, but its market share is massive. They inserted Gemini into every service line including Google, Gmail, YouTube, and Android. They offer Gemini Pro for free to college students worldwide, bundle it with telecom services, and give it away with Galaxy purchases. Their partnerships are insanely strong. Their core target is not developers who need Pro for coding, but everyday users who just need an accessible chatbot. Since Flash consumes drastically less compute to serve, we can guess they are intentionally delaying the Pro release.

Prabhakar Singh Parihar प्रभाकर सिँह परिहार (@IPrabhakarSP) reported@SamsungIndia @SamsungMobile I've been using Samsung devices for years and never faced anything like this before. The problems started only after the latest software update. Suddenly Gmail, Play Store, Google Pay, and other Google services stopped working properly. Instead of asking customers to visit a service center for an issue caused by a software update, Samsung should acknowledge the problem and provide a proper fix. A software update is supposed to improve the user experience, not break essential apps. Really disappointing, @SamsungIndia

braai engineer (@BraaiEngineer) reportedit's hard to overstate how much value DEI destroyed at Google. they could have launched their useful internal chatbots earlier, but the bots were offensive and they didn't want to cannibalise their search ads cash cow. it's an evergreen story: Big Co avoids self-cannibalising, gets their lunch eaten by a startup they don't own. what Google should have done: spin out the AI division or keep it under Deepmind to avoid the brand risk of offensive bots, i.e. retain the Gmail "beta" label and wash their hands of the initially offensive parts until the models improved. however, then you still have the cost center problem: ExCo bonuses are tied to existing product performances, and while costly models are being trained, all they see is declining ad revenue, so they lobby against it. this points to an incentive failure. perhaps the root cause is silo'd OKRs?

Paul Nicholson - PNUK.com (@PNUKcom) reportedMate in pub said last night how to I get into the website... I said click login with google and then login with your gmail account... Looked at me liked I'd asked him to put in for a new passport or something. Are some people just that bad with tech?

Tim Hoppen (@timhoppen) reported@japan_nobunaga I had 20,000 unread in my Gmail account last winter. The account was 20 years old at that point, so that's less than 3 per day - not terrible. I searched for all unread that were at least 2 years old and simply marked them as "read". I have fewer unread emails now.

Tedd | CTO @D’CENT Wallet (@TeddOnchain) reportedHi! That error isn’t expected. Please avoid contacting the Gmail address shared in the replies, as it isn’t an official support channel. Could you share a screenshot of the error code and let us know which version of the D’CENT app you’re using? We’ll help you troubleshoot it. @pman88888

rob 📯 (@rokkbert) reportedI hate gmail so much... 😭 what idiot decided that it's ok to show a recipients/senders _name_ instead of address? It has to be a scammer conspiracy or a general dumbing down campaign that aims to make people stupid and helpless there is no other logical explanation.

Kamal Kannan (@kamalkannan) reportedYes, I think your argument makes sense. The core idea is that consumer AI agents have a distribution problem because they require upfront investment before delivering value, whereas consumer apps that became mainstream delivered value immediately. I'd tighten one part slightly: I wouldn't say consumers "don't need" agents. Many people do have repetitive digital tasks. Rather, I'd say the pain isn't large enough to justify the setup cost today. That's a stronger and more defensible claim. Here's a polished version you could post: I think the difference comes down to time to value. Instagram, TikTok, Uber : they solved a problem everyone already had, and they did it instantly. Open the app and within seconds you understand why it's useful. Agents are different. Before they're actually helpful, you have to connect Gmail, calendars, drives, CRMs, Slack, and give them enough context to understand your work. That's a lot of upfront effort before you reach the "aha" moment. For most consumers, the payoff isn't worth that investment yet. Their day-to-day digital tasks are usually quick enough that doing them manually feels easier than setting up an agent to do them. Businesses are a different story. They have repeatable workflows, shared context, and clear ROI. Spending an hour setting up an agent that saves hundreds of hours later is an easy decision. I don't think the missing piece is better models. It's reducing the setup cost to almost zero. The breakthrough will happen when an agent understands your context automatically and starts delivering value before you've spent time configuring it.

sean lee (@infinitefun_) reportedyeah, no. the average consumer has a near zero need for offloading cognitive work. what they need is their netflix and their doordash — your job as a consumer is literally to chill tf out and stay happy and motivated if you dont intuit this as obvious you're most likely neck-deep in a muck of motivated reasoning as a consumer founder / VC okay you can use agents to search the web and synthesize findings on what to buy. okay you have cognitive chores like filing tax returns and sifting thru email. sounds like great features to bake into google and gmail! on the other hand, your job as a knowledge worker is to convert your cognition into something of economic value — and then because of competitive market dynamics, you'll also need all the cognitive amplification that's available on the market. the biggest problems need the most cognition. the consumer takes care of problems scoped to themselves. the knowledge workers together take care problems concerning society. when we look back, we'll remember how AI agents helped us cure cancer, not how your agent helped you order pizza over imessage.

Finlay Williams (@ItsFinlayW) reportedwe spent €123k on Google Demand Gen ads for one client in 14 days it brought back 2,990 conversions at €41.22 CAC Demand Gen is just running wrong on 90% of accounts eCom Twitter thinks Demand Gen is a waste of budget cause they've only ever seen it set up like this: - creative pulled from existing YouTube shorts - broad targeting with no audience layering - no dedicated landing pages - launched at $50/day and left for 8 weeks then it "fails" and the founder writes it off forever but a properly built Demand Gen campaign is one of the cheapest paths to cold-traffic acquisition on the entire Google platform here's what €41.22 CAC actually looks like at scale: 1/ 3 dedicated audience layers: custom intent (based on top 200 buyer-search-terms), Similar Segments seeded from the existing customer list, and a lookalike from the last 30 days of Purchase events 2/ creative built specifically for Demand Gen surfaces (Discover feed, Gmail promotions, YouTube Shorts) not repurposed video ads that were designed for TikTok 3/ landing pages that match the ad's specific promise. category pages, not the homepage. 4/ Target CPA bid strategy set 15% higher than the account's blended CAC, then trimmed monthly set up this way, Demand Gen consistently pulls sub-€45 CAC on eCom accounts spending €50k+/mo the platform works when the setup respects it if u're running Demand Gen and it's not converting, one of those 4 things above is likely broken

Misaligning ☠️🏴☠️🏗️👨🚀 (@Misaligning) reportedI see this so much in software (eg @Supabase Auth enforces uniqueness on phone numbers), Gmail, etc. It's an insane financial and product decision (at such low thresholds) yes, there are always workarounds. but hitting these ( @openai gets a pass lol ) always make me choose alternatives on future grab bag projects. Quick unforced error 'for safety' but in reality it adds a blind spot customer attrition sinkhole. This is churn you don't even know about if you want to cap it, ok, put it at a respectable 5 accts to a phone number or something modest at least 'no sir, we will NOT take your money without wasting your time and having you spin up a fake phone number or getting a second line' lul wut 🙈

Kristian Hansson (@Cen1mm) reported@tarunvats33 Samsung email. Gmail for me fails to allow me to use my outlook email and the way gmail email folders works is so a turn down.

Arjun Shah (@arjunkshah21) reportedI've come to the conclusion that all iOS message-based personal assistants are fairly useless. I built my own in <1 day, and have been optimizing it ever since. It: > uses my existing coding agent subscription > connects to as many integrations as a want > is linked to my personal company of agents and can orchestrate work > talk to me in gen-z lingo 😭😭 > works whenever my laptop is on and connected to the internet (i can fix this w/ cloud i just don't face that problem rn) > also added iOS based slash commands so I can get instant responses i've built it in a way i can contact it from my control plane, via imsg, or via gmail the only annoying thing is I get emails/imsg to myself, which could be fixed by just spending like $5 on a second number and connecting the agent to it gonna open source the whole control plane, system, etc. very soon
