  @MSFT365Status I have been down since 9:00 a.m. this morning! I own a IT technology business and I need to have my email up and running. Unfortunately, I had to use my Gmail account with a disclaimer at the bottom of the email saying that Microsoft's email was not working and therefore that's the difference in the email address. It is not acceptable for this to be down! Microsoft is big enough to handle any situation that comes down the line and this is a perfect example of Microsoft not keeping up with whatever happened. Was it an update? I don't think so! Was it a hack? I don't know! FIX IT!

  "I'm too late to ecom" was a weak excuse in 2019 and it's embarrassing in 2026. People have been saying the market is saturated for as long as the market has existed. Meanwhile brands launch every month and get to real money inside a year, selling things that already have 40 competitors. Being early was never the advantage anyone thinks it was. "Early" means you're paying to teach a market what your product is, with nobody to copy and no proof that people want it. "Late" means the demand is there, the playbook is public, and your job is to be better at execution than people who got comfortable. Of course, there are cases where you want to be first, but unless you actually know what you're doing... Choose the 2nd one. When I sold a retro console, it wasn't a new idea. Other people were already selling it, and it worked anyway, because most competitors are worse than they look from the outside. Their shipping is slow, their product page oversells, and their support is a Gmail somebody checks on Sundays. + People really liked it, so much so it got the attention of Nintendo and they emailed me to shut it down. Point is, you don't need a category nobody has touched. You need a product people already buy and a business that doesn't fall apart the moment volume shows up. The guys still waiting for the next untapped thing will say the same sentence in 2029. Lmao.

  My Gmail accounts have been compromised, and the recovery process is currently underway. Please be careful and do not trust or respond to any emails, messages, videos, posts, links, or other content that may be sent, uploaded, or shared through my accounts including YouTubes, Facebook's and other SMs during this period. Any such content is not under my control and should not be considered authorized or endorsed by me. I will issue an update as soon as I regain full control of my accounts.

  It's crazy how everyone is praising Grok Bot, but let me be the annoying person who tells you why it still kinda sucks. 1. The actual capabilities of agents are not novel. Most of the demos I've seen can already be done with Hermes and similar setups, often with smarter models and more control. The difference is that Grok Bot gives you everything out of the box ,without setup and wiring things together. 2. The agent itself is still pretty weak. The UX makes you want to delegate ambitious tasks to it, but the underlying model/agent doesn't always live up to that promise. It takes dumb paths, burns through context/tokens surprisingly fast, and needs more babysitting than the "AI employee" framing suggests. Also, there's no native X search which is especially funny for a product coming from (you have x_search on @grok but not on @bot which needs to use x connection and burn credits). 3. The security model deserves way more attention. All your Bots share the same computer, including files, cookies, browser sessions, and logins. So once you start logging into Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, internal dashboards, etc., a prompt injection or compromised webpage suddenly has a much bigger blast radius. Well, these were the main issues I had with grok bot (apart from smaller issues like absence of read aloud) and why I stick with hermes. But on the other hand, the product is genuinely good, and this is why.

  @blessedby__ @GoogleWorkspace @Em0517561932234 imo this would make the implication even worse. Gmail forces ‘Gemini Flows’ and automation down my throat constantly, yet they don’t use their own tech? Seems dumb for one of the biggest AI companies in the world to have a standardized reply that’s completely irrelevant, instead of y’know, using their technology to automate a relevant reply.

  @ChrisCoffee @Meta WIld. Had my 30 year gmail account shut down a couple weeks back, still don't know why(everything attatched to it.) Crazy you can lose all those years of work though at a companies whim.

  @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.

  cold email explained Low IQ: Get a list of people with the problem. Send them four sentences about the problem and one specific offer. Send a lot of them. Midwit: 40 domains, 120 mailboxes, a rotation schedule, and a spreadsheet tracking mailbox health Warmup tools running permanently at 30 emails/day forever Spintax on every sentence, {{first_name|there}} fallbacks nested three deep "Spam word" avoidance — rewriting "free" and "guarantee" out of copy like it's 2011 Gmail Open tracking on, via a custom tracking domain (open tracking is itself a deliverability liability) AI personalization on the wrong variable: "Noticed you studied at Michigan State — go Spartans!" 9-step sequences ending in "bumping this up," "did this get buried?", and the breakup email 14 micro-ICP segments with bespoke copy for each A/B testing subject lines on 200 sends and declaring a winner Reporting reply rate as the KPI When it doesn't work: buy more data, add more mailboxes High IQ: Precise list, short email, one specific offer, high volume, hygiene done once. Measure meetings held and pipeline, nothing above it.

  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.
