  @BookSpotlight Spam filtering is getting spotty, too. Like, Gmail lets you flag addresses as VIP... but they can still end up in the spam folder. It's unbelievable how we get these egregious errors in tech now that just waft along.

  16 out of 16 direct sends pass DMARC alignment after the fix. But 15 of 33 forwarded copies fail on the same day. info@ that forwards to a founder's Gmail breaks the DKIM signature, and the sender cannot do anything about it.

  @0xTib3rius For elderly in particular, I actually recommend these books sometimes. Nobody is going to James Bond grandma/grandpa’s house to get in his/her Gmail. But if our elderly pick weak passwords and use the same passwords for everything, they are going to have problems.

  @paz_al3x @paz_al3x 52 here. Framing houses for 30 years. No CS degree. No engineering background. Just someone who knew exactly what the problem was because I live it every day on the job site. This week I built a voice-to-invoice app that emails a professional PDF to a customer before I back out of their driveway. Whisper transcribes what I say. Local AI parses the line items. Gmail delivers it. All running on hardware I built myself. Same thing you said. AI didn't make me an engineer. It made the capability accessible to someone who already knew what needed to be built. The domain knowledge was always there. Now I can finally do something with it.

  @em_az When it is Gmail accounts there really is no choice. You are forced to use their OAuth and API system. This is has been the issue with clients I have paid for in the past. They did not use Google's user flow and eventually quit working. For most other email providers I think POP or IMAP will work fine.

  @zeedezigns more specifically, go to settings > notifications > scroll down to Gmail > select it and turn off Badges

  @lizwessel that's a symptom of a bigger issue: treating user experience as an afterthought in the name of "innovation". probably easier to just layer on another feature than redesign from scratch, but hey, maybe someone will make that gmail agent you're dreaming of

  Gmail just warned, "Emails may stop coming after September 21" Today, I suddenly saw a warning on my Gmail "Out of storage." All 15 GB out of 15 GB was already used. And the message was clear New emails may stop being received after September 21, 2026. Google’s offer was right there 30 GB Storage ₹59 with the first 3 months at ₹15 But is paying for more storage really the only option ? Absolutely not. My friend suggested checking these 5 things first Gmail: Delete old emails with large attachments Google Drive: Remove large and unnecessary files Google Photos: Clean up old large videos/photos Trash plus Spam: Permanently empty both Search Gmail for "larger 10M" to find large emails And here’s the most important thing Your 15 GB storage is not just for Gmail. It is shared across Gmail Google Drive Google Photos. So even if you do not have many emails, your storage can still be full because Google Photos or Drive may be using most of it. Paying ₹59 for more storage is the easiest solution But before spending money, try 10 minutes of digital cleaning. Because sometimes the problem is not that we have too little storage, It’s that we have way too much digital junk.

  If we don't have access with our old Gmail, we can't have a chance to receive otp for creating tik-wallet, please do something on this issue, or allow phone number otp instead of Gmail. Thanks @TikCoin_Network

  @grichadev @indragie Spam filtering is one of the main reasons to use gmail. It has been the mail server for my domain for ~20 years

  Image-heavy emails don't tank your deliverability. Bad advice does. Two fixes do the work. Alt-text on every image. 500 words of footer text. Most brands do neither. Here's where the bad advice comes from. In 2010, spam filters couldn't read images. A 100% image email looked like a black box to Gmail. The system saw "no readable content" and assumed something fishy. So image-only got flagged. That was 16 years ago. Filters have evolved. They now evaluate image-to-text ratio, alt-text, sender reputation, and engagement signals — not whether the email contains an image. Want to send image-heavy emails without inboxing problems? Two changes. 1. Add alt-text to every image. This gives the spam filter readable content. It also makes the email accessible to screen readers. 2. Add a 250-500 word text block in the footer. This boosts your image-to-text ratio above the 60/40 threshold most filters watch. Pro move: set the footer text to font size 1 and color it white. The block blends into the background. Subscribers don't see it. Filters do. Now your designed email looks beautiful in the inbox AND hits the 60% text rule that keeps it out of Promotions. One more thing. The biggest deliverability lever isn't the image-to-text ratio. It's engagement. Opens, clicks, replies, forwards. A poorly designed email with high engagement will always beat a beautifully designed email no one opens. So stop choosing between design and deliverability. Fix the image-to-text ratio. Send the email that converts.

  Guys, I think 1X is in deep trouble. I've been thinking about their "developer platform," and I don't think it makes much sense. I get the 10 second pitch. Do a Guy Kawasaki era Apple play. But this feels different. The original Apple was only $3,800 in today's dollars. And the original Mac only cost $7,700 in today's dollars. And both of those came right after recessions, whereas today we're heading into one. Each of these products was also a "bicycle for the mind." A pre-AGI robotic humanoid is a far cry from that -- in fact, it's not a bicycle, or even a force multiplier of any kind. It's essentially a just less-capable stunt double that eats electricity instead of food and can't heal itself. Which brings into question the nature of what actually is supposed to be "developed" in the first place and how those developers expect to be compensated... ie generalized skills? Speciality (SME) skills? Integrations with Gmail, et al? If that's the case... what does the $25,000 (my assumed final cost to consumers after taxes and other fees/accessories) ACTUALLY BUY YOU? Am I supposed to be willing to pay an extra monthly fee to access individual skills - like doing the laundry or loading the dishwasher, because they did a rev-share deal with some developers to teach it those skills? And what about loading the dishwasher? An Additionally, the move feels both like a) a direct pivot away from retail customers, b) a tacit admission that there is no real consumer demand for humanoid robots, and c) an acknowledgement that the World Model doesn't really work at all yet. Because if it did, I'd expect a $25K humanoid to come with most of the the generalized skills of an average 8 year old human (I have one of those already pours his own nightly zyrtec, helps load the dishwasher, and helps with laundry btw). So in the end, I just don't know what developers can be expected to sell. My assumption, sadly, is that this isn't actually about developing anything -- it's about putting off as long as possible the moment everyone's actually afraid of: Actually going to market anything. Which brings me to my ultimate point: If you look carefully, I think you might notice a pattern here: Name an audience. Raise money on hype. Set a deadline for g2m. Build a prototype. Approach deadline. Announce a major breakthrough that unlocks a new audience. Raise even more money on more hype. Set a deadline for g2m. Build a prototype. Approach deadline... "I see what you mean," you might say. "But what's the problem?" To that, I might simply reply "You know what the problem is." Time to start thinking about doing something really different, before it's too late, if you ask me. But maybe this is exactly what they intended all along? PS: I think they could get funded. But imo, that would just create some very angry investors who end up paying $1B+ to see later what I already see now.

  @kevvOH_ It's time we went passowrdless. Sign up page, password recovery, login with passwords are the major security risk, especially when dealing with your own domain. Make it passowrdless, export the risk to accessing Gmail or the Microsoft blue team for login OTPs
