  Has Gmail gone down? I haven’t got the “news about your ticket” email from the lottery telling me I’ve won the £90,000,000 euromillions and I don’t see how that’s possible.

  @Masterji_UPWale Most people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out too, constantly asking me to buy more storage.

  HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES WITH NEW GMAIL ACCOUNTS YOU’VE CREATED RECENTLY? Google is quietly testing a smaller storage limit for new Gmail accounts by trialing a 5GB storage cap for new sign-ups, down from the usual 15GB. To unlock the full 15GB, new users are required to add a phone number to their account. This change is only affecting new accounts in select regions (mostly reported in parts of Africa so far). Existing Gmail accounts remain unaffected and will continue to have the standard 15 GB storage limit. Why is Google doing this? There are two main reasons behind this move: 1. Security & Account Recovery Google wants more users to add phone numbers for better account protection and easier recovery. This has been a long-standing push, and tying storage to phone verification is a clever way to incentivize it. 2. Reducing Storage Abuse Many people create multiple Gmail accounts primarily to get more free cloud storage. By lowering the default storage for unverified accounts, Google is making it less attractive to create throwaway accounts just for storage. This move reflects a broader trend across big tech, free tiers are gradually getting tighter. Google (like many other platforms) is finding ways to: 1. Collect more user data (phone numbers) 2. Reduce abuse of free services Push users toward paid storage (Google One) over time While existing users are safe for now, this test suggests that Google may continue exploring ways to make the free experience slightly less generous for new users. So, for most of you who already have a Gmail account, you’re fine. Your 15GB isn’t going anywhere. If you’re creating new accounts, you may only get 5GB unless you verify with a phone number. This is currently a test, but if successful, it could roll out more widely. Big tech companies are slowly reshaping what “free” actually means. Storage, reach, and features that were once freely available are increasingly being used as leverage to collect more data or drive users toward paid plans.

  @TeamYouTube It sounds weird, but I was thinking about transferring channel to another Gmail, but accidently went to brand account page. And all happened. I also send photo of current state. As the recovery page seems to only recovery google account. As account have no issue. Please help.

  Google Drive is not your private hard drive. A Japanese manga artist says his Google account was banned after uploading old manga files to Drive. Not just a file removed. The account. That means Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Android, logins, recovery emails, business docs, and years of work can all become collateral damage from one opaque platform decision. Real abuse enforcement matters. But black-box scanning + account-wide punishment + weak appeals is a nightmare for creators, builders, families, and small businesses. The lesson is simple: Never let Google be the only copy, the only login, the only inbox, the only archive, and the only identity you have. Use encrypted backups. Keep local copies. Separate accounts. Own your domain email. Test your restore plan. Your cloud storage is convenient. It is not sovereignty. Bookmark this.

  @thecyrusjanssen @TeamYouTube Glad you got it back. Must be a terrible 15 hours. But on the other hand, how the hell can someone hack your gmail?

  Your Private Proxy (@YourPrivateProx) reported 23 minutes ago

  @trangyta @FeyiLux Yes, but use static residential, not rotating. Log into that Gmail the first time from the same IP you'll use long-term in that profile. Google ties device+IP to account trust from first login — switching IPs later flags it even with a clean fingerprint.

  6 months running two businesses through claude code has surfaced real operator problems that hobby projects never hit: • MCP tool reliability — gmail calls drop silently mid-workflow • skill versioning — no safe way to test changes without breaking production • error recovery — one skill fails = entire dispatch chain stalls • state management — 30 skills juggling context is a manual nightmare these aren't "nice to have" improvements. they're the difference between my crew working or sitting idle. @bcherny @AnthropicAI

  @akifjustonline @MeFaheem One more thing about which I am skeptical is the issue of privacy and security in govt digitisation.. @akifjustonline how much secure r these apps? Also, why govt deptt and officials r using yahoo, Gmail etc rather than kp gov based emails? I mean it makes us very unprofessional

  @pmitu Built one. It searches invoices by range, creates HubSpot leads, figures out where your deal is stuck, raises a Jira ticket, diagnoses the issue, and tells you the next step. All from Gmail. That's an agent.
