  Firstly financial institutions have to inform both regulators and customers about any maintenance. If they don't inform, they could have fines or get sued. 8 hour maintenance doesn't mean 8 hour downtime. All other tech services including AWS, Gmail, etc can have downtimes and not answerable to anyone. No AWS customer ever got any compensation when it went down. Next is most critical financial transactions work through the maintenance (most monetary txns). Even most web or mobile applications work too with concurrency and parallel leg deployment. Lastly, FI have a balance between cost and modernity. They don't need to have every shiny new toy in the market. 50 year old mainframes work perfectly well with just peripheral API stack instead of wholesale cloud migration.

  @JakeLandauTO I'm always puzzled when people say this, because don't you have a work email? If you work for some weird place that doesn't provide one, I'd create a Gmail one just for work. And in both case, you shouldn't look at it when you're not working. You're no CEO here.

  @Jaywash_1NFT @Cointelegraph @Yubico Yubikey is a security key that's acts as MFA for accounts such as Gmail, social media accounts, etc, it can't be used with Hardware wallets, unless there is an account login where you sign up with email or phone number and password. Most hardware wallets are not compatible with security keys because they simple don't require it as the hardware wallet acts as the authenticatior in that situation.

  I don’t get why gmail edit suggestions are so terrible all the time.

  @sama Hi Sam. A post saying, “I’m in serious trouble because my ChatGPT account was banned,” is going viral in Japan. Of course, there may have been legitimate reasons in this particular case, but ChatGPT accounts have become extremely important to people. Imagine how disruptive it would be if a Gmail account you had used for 20 years suddenly became inaccessible one day. I understand that, because ChatGPT and Codex are such powerful tools, monitoring and managing users is important. However, I believe mistakenly banning users who pose little risk is a serious problem. Precisely because your services are so valuable to people, I hope you will exercise great care when deciding whether to ban an account. P.S. I’m also having trouble because I can no longer publish GPTs. Even features that are not widely used can be extremely important to some people.

  [REPOST] @ScopelyExplore FIX THE PROBLEM WHERE ALL THESE HIGH LEVELS ARE GETTING HACKED! I’m Level 79 and I don’t wanna be a target. Remove the option where you can change your Gmail or account info in game.

  @AMoser_E @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail If you make a Proton account, and sink Gmail to it. Pick at it. Don't make it a chore. A couple of accounts at a time, or one, or binge it. Whatever. It is possible to degoogle yourself. I degoogled and deMicrosofted myself. I am fully on Linux (Mint), and on Calyx OS for phone. Slow and steady wins the race friend. A sandwich isn't consumed in one bite, but many.

  @nicdunz It's cool. You can just utilise the bug in their billing to get access to other accounts that they won't fix despite it being on the dev forums. I used this on a Gmail account to "breach" my own business account for a proof of concept to get them to fix it. Didn't need to provide consent or anything. Just sitting there draining my own business account via a gmail.

  @GergelyOrosz Really? When tech companies have an outage they sort of shrug and the economy goes on. AWS out - “we’re sorry” Robinhood down - “we made mistakes” Microsoft/Gmail down - “we’re working on it” Bank can’t dispense money? Bank runs, economic fall out, congressional hearings.

  your youtube trust score might be killing your channel’s views and you don’t even know about it… there’s no place to check it, but it exists you've seen it happen. a creator posts 20 genuinely good videos. zero traction. under 100 impressions on all of them. they assume they're bad at this, burn out, and quit. the content was fine, and the channel was flagged before their first upload even went live. let me break down exactly how this works and the $0 fix... when you create a new youtube channel, the system evaluates a set of signals to classify whether you're a real creator or a bot farm. fresh gmail + instant uploads + 0 viewing history + no subscriber activity = the exact fingerprint of the spam channels youtube kills every day so the system treats you the same way. your reach gets throttled before you've begun. i've watched this wreck dozens of channels in the facelessOS community before we figured out the pattern. a creator sets up a new gmail, creates a channel, uploads 5 videos in the first week, and wonders why their impressions are in the single digits. they think their thumbnails need work. their hooks need work. their niche selection was wrong. the real cause sat elsewhere: the channel was classified as low-trust on day one. and once you're locked in what people are calling "0 view jail," the algorithm withholds enough initial impressions to even TEST whether your videos are good. you're uploading into a void. the protocol fixing this costs nothing and takes 7 days. step 1: use a gmail you've had for months. an aged, real email with search history, youtube watch history, subscriptions, normal activity. this single change shifts how youtube classifies the account from the start. aged gmails signal "real human." fresh gmails signal "potential spam." step 2: spend 7 days as a viewer before you upload anything. watch full videos in your niche. complete watch-throughs rather than 30-second clicks. subscribe to 10-15 channels in your space. leave a few real comments. like videos. build a viewing profile that matches the audience you want to attract. this sounds dumb. it's the highest-leverage 7 days you'll ever spend on a channel. the system now has evidence you're a real person with real interests in the niche you're about to create content for. that reads completely differently to "anonymous account uploaded 5 videos about true crime yesterday." step 3: verify your identity. enable feature eligibility in your youtube settings. this requires a government ID and phone number. i know some faceless creators hate this because they want full anonymity. the tradeoff is the algorithm treating you like a verified human instead of an unknown entity. every creator in our network who verified saw an immediate increase in initial impression allocation. step 4: upload cadence matters MORE than upload volume. the channels that escape 0 view jail the fastest upload 2-3 videos in their first week with 48-72 hours between uploads, well away from 5 videos on day one. consistent spacing signals "real creator." mass uploads signal "bot farm." youtube's system is pattern-matching your behaviour against known spam patterns, and spam channels dump content fast. step 5: your first 3 videos are an audition. youtube tests new channels by sampling a small audience. if those first 3 videos get decent retention (above 40%) and positive engagement, the system escalates your trust and your next uploads get shown to a bigger initial pool. if your first 3 videos get 10% retention because the scripts were weak, the system downgrades you and your next uploads get an even smaller test audience. it's a compounding loop in both directions. this is why i keep saying the script carries everything. especially for new channels, the first 3 scripts need to be ENGINEERED for retention. they set the trust score for every video that comes after. the channels in our network running scripts built on retention data from 8,000+ proven scripts skip the 0 view jail entirely. their first videos get tested on meaningful audience sizes because the retention signals tell the algorithm "this channel is worth pushing."

  @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?

  Takingback2007 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.

  and as we continue to see retail adoption events, the less crypto becomes crypto ppl don't want to know what is under the hood, they just want it to work they don't want to remember seeds, private keys, or even use a wallet address to signin they just want to login with gmail and have it work and they are not fee-sensitive as long as its not exorbitant cheap and fast doesn't matter as long as it is cheap and fast enough
