  An alias is the best .. why you use Simple Login / Proton and not an altered version of your Gmail address (which is so stupid).

  Yesterday I focused on one app. Today I want to show how much every platform that you wouldn't expect is included in the Illinois "social media" tax will have to pay [see math at bottom, some rough estimates] Gmail: $24,060,000/year Strava: $312,000 Goodreads: $312,000 Tripadvisor: $47,820,000 Proton email (EXEMPT bc nonprofit): $600,000 Math: each takes from est U.S. monthly users, Illinois has 12.6M people, US 350. So x/[monthly US users] * 12.6/350, then following math from bill [in screenshot] For apps like Gmail to collect user data regardless of monthly login (assume people get emails/have app on their phone/privacy policy makes this likely) I assume accordingly. Remember—it's charged NOT per monthly active user but per "the number of Illinois users from whom the social media platform collects data within a month." Full math: Gmail - Montly active US users:130000000, IL users:4680000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:2005000, Cost for IL law/Year:24060000 Proton - Montly active US users:15000000, IL users:540000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:50000, Cost for IL law/Year:600000 notes: (VERY rough estimate) Strava - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: 50M monthly, 20% in US Goodreads - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: (ROUGH ballpark based on avail data, 50M monthly active, 20% in US) TripAdvisor - Montly active US users:240000000, IL users:8640000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:3985000, Cost for IL law/Year:47820000 notes: 400M montly active US users, US Accounts for 60%ish

  So what actually happens when you send an email? Apple Mail preloads every single email, opened or not, which fires your tracking pixel. Gmail sometimes does the same thing, depending on the day, how the algorithm feels, who you're sending to, and what the monkeys are up to. Ad blockers kill the pixel entirely for a huge chunk of your list. And the list goes on. So that open rate in your dashboard? It's not a headcount of humans who read your email. It never was. It never was. It hasn't been for over a decade. I've watched people make genuinely bad decisions trying to optimize a number that was never clean to begin with. With open rates, you're not reading a count. You're reading a shape. What do I mean by that? If your open rate runs around forty percent and then one week it drops to eight, something changed. A deliverability issue. A subject line that missed. A segment that tuned out. You don't need the number to be precise to know something broke. Same thing in the other direction. A spike might mean a great subject line. Or it might mean Apple preloaded a big batch. So you investigate. You don't celebrate it. The metric becomes useful when you stop treating it like a fact and start treating it like a signal. Watch the trend. Know your baseline. Then you can act when the shape changes. That's it.

  Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Google storage fills up quietly, and many people rush to pay without checking what is actually consuming the space. Most people blame Gmail, but the real problem is often somewhere else. With one proper clean-up, you can free up a surprising amount of storage in less than ten minutes. Here is the method:👇

  Your longer chats aren't smarter. They're dumber. Here are the 12 wrong facts you (still) believe: 1. LONGER CHAT → not smarter ☑ One chat = one task. Finish it after getting done. ☑ Need the context? Ask for a 5-line summary, paste it into a fresh chat. Faster AND cheaper. 2. CLAUDE AGREEING → not a proof you're right ☑ "Argue the strongest case against this. Be harsh." ☑ Test: if it can't find a flaw, your idea isn't ready. 3. CONFIDENT → not always correct ☑ Prompt with: "Rate your confidence 1–10 & what change would you make to your answer." ☑ A 6/10 with reasons beats a 10/10 with vibes. 4. PROMPTING → you don't need to learn it ☑ You only need 4 words: "Ask me questions first." ☑ Claude interviews you. You click. That's it. 5. LONGER PROMPT → not a better prompt ☑ Don't write "do step 1, then 2." Write the end goal ☑ "Make this report something my CEO screenshots." It's smarter than your directions. 6. BROWSER → switch to Claude app ☑ The Claude app builds the real file in your folder. ☑ The browser makes you copy-paste. ☑ Make a folder, call it "cowork," point Claude at it. Now it ships .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf - for real. 7. CHAT → not the whole building ☑ Chat is floor 1: Cowork, Skills, Code are upstairs. ☑ Open the app, click Cowork (the whole upgrade). 8. SKILLS → build one tonight, no code ☑ Type /skill-creator and say: "Teach Claude to do [your task] the way I like it. Ask me questions first." ☑ Now it fires on its own when the task fits. 9. PASTING LOGINS → never do this ☑ Never paste a password. No need to explain why. ☑ That's literally what connectors are for. ☑ Customize → Connectors → connect Gmail, Calendar, Drive properly. 10. AI → keep the understanding ☑ Outsource the typing. Not the understanding. ☑ Don't ship what you can't explain. After answers: "Explain this to me like I'll be questioned on it." 11. FIRST DRAFT → it's the starting line ☑ The first draft is yours to fix, not to ship. ☑ Prompt: "What's the weakest part of this? Fix it." 12. TOO FAR BEHIND → no, you're not ☑ The bar to 'knowing how' is to try it. ☑ Open Claude tonight. Not Monday. Tonight. Quick gut-check before you scroll: If you nodded at even 3 of these, that's not a 'you' problem - nobody told you.

  @kof_afk I need assistance. I was trying to login on my Ipad and my Iphone player account was not coming up via my gmail. I tried other logins to see if maybe it was another and it wasn't. When I went to play on my phone, my data was gone. I have my PID, USN, and Server Id.

  Claude: 26 tricks Almost nobody gets past Claude hack 6: 1Run the Claude Desktop app. The browser is just the demo. Cowork lives in the app. 2Use Cowork, not the chat box. If you're still typing into a chat window, you're using it like it's 2025. 3Long threads make it dumber. The longer the convo, the weaker the answers. Anthropic's own prompt engineers said it. 4Start fresh often. Bloated threads don't just confuse Claude, they quietly burn your credits. 5A token is basically a word. Everything you send and everything it sends back costs money. Stop typing "how are you." 6Here's where most people quit reading: stop giving step by step instructions. Give it the goal and get out of the way. Steps drag it back to the old Claude. 7Throw it your hardest, longest task. The stuff that makes your head hurt. That's exactly where Claude wins. 8Kill the 500 word prompts. A tight, clear problem beats a long ramble every time. Tell it what you want, not how to do it. 9It barely tells you this: use positive instructions. "Do X," never "don't do Y." Action verbs get action. 10Turn on Research mode (the '+' bottom left). Ask it something genuinely hard and just watch. 11Skills fire on their own. You don't prompt them. Type /command. Done. 12Drop AskUserQuestion into your prompt so Claude interviews you first. It prompts itself better than you ever will. 13One folder. Three subfolders. That's the whole system. People love to overcomplicate it. 14The about me file changes everything. Tell it who you are, what you love, what you can't stand. Same task, completely different answer. 15Then trim that about me file. An overloaded profile is as useless as no profile. 16Switch on Connectors. Claude can read your Gmail and Slack now. Almost nobody turns this on. 17Name every output and the exact order you want them in. Vague in, vague out. 18"Thinking" is hiding under '+' as "thinking." Hard task? Flip it on. 19For the heavy stuff, run Opus. 20It will sound 100% certain even when it's dead wrong. Make it audit its own answer before you trust a single line. 21Agreement is not accuracy. Claude wants to please you. That's not the same as being right. 22The first draft is yours to fix, not to ship. Every time. 23The one rule that actually matters: outsource the thinking, never the understanding. 24Claude is built for coding and knowledge work, not health. Use it for what it's actually good at. 25Use Projects. Load your brand, your offer, your frameworks once and every new chat starts already knowing you. 26Save anything you'll reuse as an Artifact. Then you edit it next time instead of starting from scratch.

  neither economic times nor i mentioned only using VPN to access mythos atleast watch the video, or read the article before posting this i shared step by step workarounds Step 1: Use VPN Step 2: If they are restricting indians gmail Ids and mobile numbers, create new gmail id, with us mobile number, you can easily get one for one day or one time otp in 2-5$, multiple platforms present ( hope i don't need to mention) Step 3: if they are restricting indian payment method, use KastCard or platforms like Skydo that help you to open virtual bank accounts from india Step 4: the extreme one : if they start doing kyc before giving access, register a shell company in US, login into claude from a business account, use company documents, use it and you compared it to just using VPN 💔💔💔💔

  @neilcybart Yep, using Apple Mail, have three email accounts on there including Gmail. Downloaded the beta last Monday, got Siri AI after a couple of days. Still indexing but it doesn’t seem to be affecting the performance of the battery or slowing performance of the phone so it’s not an issue for me.

  For context on how bad 36/100 actually is: the alert system was also making 2,000 sequential email connections per send cycle. At 1,000 subscribers that's enough to get the whole service rate-limited by Gmail. Not a slow feature. A feature that quietly stops working at scale, with no error, no log, nothing telling you it failed. This is the stuff that's invisible until it isn't.

  @surjithctly @FormNX Currently, clicking on that auto-fills the email or takes to gmail as per your login If masked this might not be useful then... FB does the same

  your cold email isn't failing because of your copy it's failing because gmail decided you were spam before anyone opened it the inbox math doesn't care how good your subject line is if your dns is broken fix the infrastructure first. then worry about the words. most people do this in the wrong order.

  @Samaytwt Switched from Outlook to Gmail and still prefer Outlook. But at this point the problem is probably not the tool.
