Saad 📱 (@saadbelfqih) reportedMost people judge Apple Ads way too early.. and I did too! They look at taps, installs, CPI… then pause the wrong keywords.. The real game is: keyword → install → trial → paid → revenue → ROAS. If you're not tracking that, you're guessing.. and with a small budget here's what I would do: 1 - Use Apple Ads Advanced. not basic.. please! Basic is easier, but you lose control over keywords, bids, countries, match types, and search terms. With a small budget, control matters! 2 - Start with Search Results only. that's where intent is. someone literally searched for the thing your app solves.. 3 - Don't start with "I want to scale." Start with: I want to learn what converts. .. which country, keyword, intent, product page or paywall. Scaling comes later. 4 - Don't mix too many countries in one campaign. One country per campaign is cleaner.. If one market works and another doesn't, you want to know that.. 5 - Don't sleep on smaller / cheaper / overlooked markets. I've found good pockets in places like Germany and Switzerland, and some tier-3 spots like Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines have honestly surprised me. Test around, your niche might live somewhere you didn't expect.. 6 - Start with exact match. Not broad. At the beginning, you want to know exactly what keyword triggered the tap. Broad / discovery can come later... I personally avoid it but you can always try at a later stage! 7 - Keyword buckets I'd test: competitor names, common typos, long-tail generic keywords, problem-aware keywords. Examples: transkribe, budget planner for couples, ai keyboard for iphone, Video to text etc.. 8 - Long-tail keywords are underrated. don't only bid on: scanner, keyboard, pdf, identifier. try the searches that sound closer to real intent. Less volume, but usually cleaner.. 9 - Competitor keywords can work (yes) but only if your app is a real alternative.. same niche, clear value & strong screenshots but not a random clone. 10 - Search Match OFF at the start. I know Apple suggests it. When you're learning, you don't want Apple picking random search terms for you. You want to know exactly what you paid for.. and I'm sure you don't want to be paying for Facebook, Gmail keywords at the start.. 11 - Start bids lower than Apple suggests. then increase slowly. also apple ads has lag, so don't change bids every hour.. 12 - Your product page does the selling before your ad ever does. People see: icon, name, subtitle, ratings, first screenshots. so if these (esp the screenshot) don't sell the outcome fast, the right keywords won't help you much 13 - Before spending, check competitors. not to copy of course, but to understand the pattern: what do they lead with? what outcome do they sell? how much text do they use? what pain do they show first? big apps already paid for some of that research 14 - Set up tracking before judging anything. Use RevenueCat, Superwall, an MMP, .. whatever, just track it! you want to monitor: country, campaign, ad group, keyword, spend, installs, trials, paid users, revenue, ROAS 15 - CPI can lie! a $0.40 install can be trash but a $2 install can be profitable.. The only question is: did this keyword bring paying users? 16 - Read the funnel properly: spend + no impressions = bid too low / low relevance taps + no installs = product page problem installs + no trials = wrong intent / weak onboarding trials + no paid = paywall or product issue revenue > spend = increase slowly 17 - When you find a winner, move it out of the messy test campaign. Give proven keywords their own campaign and keep them away from your random experiments 18 - Discovery is fine later.. it can surface search terms you'd never think of. Once a term works, move it into exact match. and keep dumping the irrelevant stuff into your negative keywords list.. helps apple ads point you at better keywords over time.. as confirmed by an apple ads support staff I talked to 19 - A tailored product page is worth testing when the intent is different.. competitor keyword? show why you're the better pick. feature keyword? lead with that feature. Same with the paywall, if they searched something specific, don't drop them on a generic one.. 20 - My small-budget setup: Apple Ads Advanced, Search Results only, 1 country per campaign, exact match first, Search Match off, manual bids, $5-10/day cap, competitor + long-tail keywords, tracking from day 0 21 - Kill rules I'd start with: spend + 0 installs → lower bid or pause installs + 0 trials → fix page / intent trials + 0 paid → fix onboarding / paywall positive ROAS → raise slowly not enough data → don't overreact and keep experimenting ... also worth checking out @adapty report on apple ads for some markets stats and for a detailed apple ads playbook worth checking @ivesparrowai book

Arya Nedaee (@AryaNedaee_) reportedThe European Union 🇪🇺 just legalized scanning your private messages. The vote: 314 MEPs voted against it. 276 voted for it. It passed anyway. Rejecting it required an absolute majority of all 720 seats (361 votes). Not a majority of the room. So every empty chair on the last sitting day before summer recess counted as a yes. Classic @vonderleyen. More MEPs showed up to kill Chat Control 1.0 than to keep it. It became law regardless. Live until 2028. Platforms can now scan unencrypted messages again: Gmail, Instagram DMs, Discord, Snapchat, Xbox. WhatsApp and Signal got carved out. For now. This is how rights slowly disappear. Not in one dramatic moment. In procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone is distracted with the World Cup and the USA-Iran war. The mandatory version is still coming. Client-side scanning, the one that breaks encryption itself. Trilogue resumes in September. Chat Control 2.0 is coming. Watch that one.

i-LevelUP (@CryptoScout24) reportedPopular Services/Messengers That Are Typically NOT (Fully) End-to-End EncryptedThese are the ones affected by scanning under the current EU Chat Control setup which has passed today in the EU: Email services (most standard ones): - Gmail (Google) - Outlook/Hotmail (Microsoft) - Yahoo Mail - iCloud Mail (Apple, standard) - Many others without E2EE enabled - Facebook/Instagram Messenger (standard mode) — Often not fully E2EE unless "Secret Conversations" are turned on - Skype (standard chats) — Microsoft can access content. - Snapchat — Chats and snaps are not E2EE by default (some features have it, but not comprehensively) - Telegram (standard/cloud chats) — Encrypted between device and server, but Telegram holds the keys and can access content. Only "Secret Chats" are protected. - Discord — Messages are not E2EE; the company can moderate/scan - Older/traditional SMS/MMS — Completely unencrypted. - Xbox Live messaging and some gaming platforms. - Cloud storage/file sharing tied to chats (e.g., Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive in some contexts) — Often scanned Let that sink in ! allegedly to fight against child abuse

Vinayak Kamath (@vin_kamath) reportedALWAYS follow up on your emails if you don't hear back. Gmail spam filters are extremely aggressive. If you have lower than expected inbox placement despite having a good domain reputation or just an individual, make it a habit to send follow-up emails. Just a single follow-up on a thread can bump you into the inbox. Which is how I discovered the problem in the first place.

Shraddha Bharuka (@BharukaShraddha) reportedA guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats. He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace." His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder. "Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes." Here's what she showed him:

Arthur verboon (@ArthurVerboon) reported@EthanLevins2 @SteakMyClaim Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.

Composio (@composio) reportedWhat can Fable 5 do that GLM-5.2 can't, when you hand them real agentic work? To answer that question, we connected Fable 5 and GLM-5.2 to 17 SaaS tools and gave them 47 tasks. As expected, Fable 5 solved all 47 tasks. GLM-5.2 solved 45, but the two misses tell an important story. They showed us exactly how open-weight models still fall short when trying to match SOTA performance. Let’s dig in. Background: Each model ran as an agent connected to 17 live SaaS accounts: Airtable, Datadog, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Jira, LaunchDarkly, Linear, Notion, PagerDuty, PostHog, Salesforce, Slack, and Zendesk. The tasks are the kind of work you'd actually delegate to an agent: - Find every file in this repository that leaks a credential - Deduplicate these CRM records - Repair this broken recurring calendar event. Every task had a known correct answer baked in ahead of time. In this post, we looked at the traces to analyze how exactly GLM-5.2 “failed” compared to Fable 5. GLM-5.2 solved 45/47 tasks and Fable 5 had a perfect 100% score. In addition: - Fable averaged 84 seconds per task; GLM averaged 148. Across the full suite, Fable finished in nearly half the total time (66 minutes vs 116). - Fable was the faster model in 43 of the 47 scenarios. - Fable used about 20% fewer tokens overall - Fable needed fewer tool calls (239 vs 294) and fewer conversation turns (6.1 vs 7.3 on average) to get to an answer The most interesting part comes from digging deeper into the stack traces. That revealed some interesting gaps: Gap #1: Knowing when the job isn't finished One of the tasks GLM-5.2 failed was a GitHub security audit. The instruction was to find every Python file in a repository that contains a hardcoded `secret_key`. The repository had been seeded with exactly 130 such files, so the correct answer was known in advance. Fable 5 found all 130 of them. This took 3 tool calls and 68 seconds: Fable constructed an effective search query on its first attempt, pulled every page of results, deduplicated the paths, and answered the question. GLM-5.2 found 120 files, and reported those 120 as the complete answer, without ever questioning whether it might have missed something. Both models had access to identical tools. GLM used a slightly different search query that returned fewer results, and it simply trusted what came back. Along the way, it also lost track of a results file it had saved earlier and spent turns searching the filesystem trying to find it again, plus hit two errored tool calls while trying to fetch file contents. In essence, GLM-5.2 ended up spending 262 seconds and three and a half times the tokens to deliver 92% of the answer. Ninety-two percent sounds close, but in a real security audit, that gap is 10 leaked credentials making it into production. Gap #2: Judgment when the criteria are fuzzy The second failed task is more unsettling, because GLM did almost everything right and still failed to get to a complete answer. The task was a Zendesk SLA audit: find the open billing tickets where no support agent had posted a public reply within 24 hours of the ticket being created. This requires reading each ticket's actual conversation history and making a judgment call about whether a genuine agent reply happened. GLM-5.2 inspected every candidate ticket, exactly as instructed. It also computed breach timestamps correctly. It also produced perfectly structured output in exactly the requested format. But then it classified the wrong tickets as breached. GLM spent 927,000 tokens and six and a half minutes producing a wrong answer that looked correct on the surface. Fable 5 identified the exact set of breached tickets in 131 seconds. What makes this failure mode dangerous is precisely how presentable the wrong answer was. The formatting was right, the timestamps were right, the structure was also right; a human skimming the output would almost certainly have approved it. A human would identify the error after carefully analyzing the stack traces. Gap #3: Efficiency, compounded Even on the 45 tasks both models passed, the traces often looked very different, and one task made the difference quite visible. The task was a LaunchDarkly configuration change applied via JSON Patch, a format that demands strict precision. Fable 5 completed it in 45 seconds, using 3 tool calls and 181,000 tokens. GLM-5.2 got the same correct result, after 8.8 minutes, 17 tool calls, and 982,000 tokens. That's 11.7 times longer and more than five times the tokens for an identical outcome. Looking at the largest speed gaps across the whole run: the LaunchDarkly change at 11.7x, the GitHub secrets audit at 3.9x, a Google Calendar recurring-event repair at 3.6x, a free/busy scheduling task at 3.4x, an Airtable batch-isolation task at 3.4x, the Zendesk SLA audit at 3.0x. The pattern underneath all of these is that Fable tends to reach the right tool with the right parameters on the first attempt, while GLM takes a more exploratory path, doing extra searches, extra retries, occasional detours to recover from its own missteps. This difference barely matters in a single chat exchange, but in an agent workflow, where every step feeds the next one, the time compounds across the entire task. That's how you end up finishing the same suite of work in half the time and at 80% of the token cost. What all this actually tells us The interesting conclusion here isn't "the closed model beat the open one.", but *where* it beat it. Both models can definitely use tools, navigate real APIs, handle authentication, parse messy responses, and chain steps together. The real gaps were things like: - Knowing when a job isn't actually finished yet. - Verifying its own work before committing to an answer, - Treating "the output looks plausible" and "the work is complete" as different things - Getting judgment calls right when the criteria are fuzzy In other words, Fable 5 scored higher in the places where small mistakes are hardest to spot and most costly to miss.

Lefty Foshizzle ⚔️ (@Lefty_Foshizzle) reportedAnother great tip of the weekend from @richontech Tech… To cut down on spam email there is a setting in most mail clients where you can turn off remote image loading. It was tough to find on my Gmail client so I actually had to go to the desktop Gmail application to be able to do it. The secret is that when they load those images, it sends back a code to the email originator that it has been accessed which means that email address is live so it is going to continue to spam and re-spam that address.

Alvin (@Alvin1492840) reported1. Keyboard shortcuts the feature Gmail buries on purpose. This is the #1 reason people pay for Superhuman: speed. No mouse. Just keys. Gmail has the same thing. It's just turned off by default. Settings (gear icon) → See All Settings → General → Keyboard Shortcuts → ON. Save. Now: 1.C = compose 2.E = archive 3.R = reply 4.A = reply all 5.J/K = navigate up/down through emails 6.S = star 7.# = delete 8./ = search 9.G then I = go to inbox These are the same shortcuts Superhuman teaches you in onboarding. Gmail has had them for over a decade. They're just hidden behind one toggle that Google never promotes. 20 minutes of muscle memory. The mouse becomes optional.

Wale (@Waleluxx) reported@Google Subject: Request for Investigation into Suspected Unauthorized Access and Recovery of Deleted Gmail Emails Dear Google Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance regarding what I believe may have been an unauthorized compromise of my Gmail account. In or around 2023, I discovered that a significant portion of my email history—spanning from approximately 2009 through to 2024—had been deleted. I did not delete these emails, nor did I authorize anyone else to do so. Their disappearance came as a complete surprise and has caused me considerable concern. Between 2022 and 2024, I was involved in highly contentious family court proceedings. Given the circumstances during that period, I have reason to be concerned that my email account may have been accessed without my knowledge. While I cannot say with certainty how this occurred, I would be grateful if Google could investigate whether there is any evidence of unauthorized access or unusual account activity. If possible, I respectfully request any information that Google is able to provide regarding: Whether there was any large-scale or bulk deletion of emails from my account. The approximate date and time when those deletions occurred. Which folder or location the emails were deleted from (for example, Inbox, Archive, Trash, or another mailbox). The IP addresses, devices, locations, and login history associated with my account during the relevant period, particularly throughout 2022–2024 and around the suspected deletion in 2023. Whether there were any unusual sign-ins, security alerts, or changes made to my account settings. Whether there is any possibility of recovering the deleted emails, or if backups or archived copies exist that may assist in restoring them. These emails are of immense personal and legal importance. They contain correspondence and records accumulated over many years, and their recovery would be invaluable. I understand that Google has policies regarding user privacy and data retention, and I appreciate that there may be limitations on the information or recovery options available. Nevertheless, I would be sincerely grateful for any assistance or guidance you can provide in investigating this matter. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I look forward to your response and appreciate any help you are able to offer. Yours faithfully, Wale.

Katyayani Shukla (@aibytekat) reportedUnfortunately, the situation gets even worse. We really need to talk about Session Cookies. Web browsers don't just save your usernames and passwords. They also save active login sessions so you don't have to type in your credentials every single time you open a new tab for Gmail, Twitter, or your bank account. Think about how annoying the internet would be if you had to log in on every single page click. Browsers use cookies to keep you logged in. Modern Info-stealer malware is specifically designed to grab all of these session cookies right alongside your password database.

Marko, email wiz (@Markoemailwiz) reported"Avoid spam trigger words" is advice from 2015. That's not how Gmail decides anymore. Promotions placement is about engagement and sending patterns, not the word "free." Fix the behavior, not the vocabulary.
