    @TeamYouTube I'm still having the issue of a hacked gmail account that was falsely locked with parental controls. Please check my response to your original DM about this when possible. Again, really sorry that I keep pestering. I just want to be sure it's being looked into.

    I NEED HELP, Others are witnessing the same problem! @TeamYouTube @Google @gmail On August 9th, someone gained unauthorized access to my Google account, which is connected to my YouTube channel, social media accounts, and school-related emails. After gaining access, the individual signed me out of my account and made themselves the "parent" of my Google account through Family Link, while making my account a "child" account. Because of this, I am now being told that I need authorization from the "parent" account in order to access or recover my own account. The problem is that the parent account is controlled by the individual who hacked me. I did not create or authorize this Family Link relationship. The hacker was also able to access the phone number associated with my Google account. Since the attack, they have repeatedly called and texted me, threatening to compromise my information, accounts, and data unless I pay them $500. I have attempted to resolve this through Gmail and Google's support resources, but I have been unable to reach an actual support representative. The resources I have found primarily direct me to account recovery. Unfortunately, I cannot complete the recovery process because my account is now classified as a "child" account and requires approval from the unauthorized "parent" account controlled by the hacker. I have also attempted to use YouTube's account and channel recovery options, but I am encountering the same issue. Because my Google account is now considered a child account, I cannot properly access or recover my YouTube channel without authorization from the account controlled by the hacker. At this point, I am at a complete loss as to what I am supposed to do. I have exhausted the automated recovery options and repeatedly encountered the same problem: the system directs me to a recovery process that I cannot complete because of an unauthorized Family Link relationship created during the hack. I am asking for this situation to be escalated to an actual human support representative who can investigate the unauthorized Family Link connection, verify that I am the legitimate owner of the account, and help me regain access to my Google account and YouTube channel. I am especially concerned because I have seen other content creators experience similar situations and lose access to their accounts and channels. I have also had multiple friends now fall for the SAME hack since they believe it is ME talking through MY hacked email. I do not want to lose years of work and content simply because the recovery system cannot account for a hacker taking control of an account and then placing it under their own Family Link supervision. I would greatly appreciate any assistance, escalation, or direction toward someone who can actually investigate this situation. I am willing to provide any information or verification necessary to establish that I am the legitimate owner of the account. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I genuinely appreciate any help you can provide.

    @AzianMike Definitely a case of shipping the org chart. This looks like the Chrome sidebar which is limited but if you did this within the Gmail Gemini feature it would likely work. Users shouldn't have to care. Problem of a massive company where each of these products serves >1B users!

    OpenMousebot just landed. It's a free open-source version of Grokbot. And it runs on the AI subscriptions you already pay for. Quick backstory: Grokbot's "week-long" free trial died on me in 20 minutes. One day later, a builder shipped this. Open source. No waitlist. → Looks like WhatsApp, but every contact is an AI agent → Each bot gets its own brain, memory, and cloud computer → Pick a different model per bot: Claude, Codex, or Grok → 500+ one-click app connections: Gmail, Slack, Notion → Every risky action needs your approval first The part Grokbot can't match: Grokbot locks you into one model and burns tokens fast. This uses the Claude login you already have. One assistant in one chat box was version 1. A named team of agents, each with a job and a computer? That's version 2. And it just went free.

    I lost a $4,500 client because Gmail hid his email in Promotions. I checked my last 30 days. 73 percent of my important emails were never in Primary. I don't know if Gmail does this on purpose, but the Promotions tab is exactly where Google puts their ads. Every time their algorithm accidentally hides a client email there, you are forced to scroll past their paid placements. 8 settings I changed to fix my inbox forever:

    This is how f¥cked up AI misconception and usually it happened to those who are not working in IT related.. AI is not about design and editing video.. i told my kids that went for an AI event and my youngest show her disappointment and why her mom go for an AI event.. and she told me AI are not good because why 'they' make a human character have 3 leg.. this is from a 10 year old kid.. understandable.. but grown-up? Gen Z? Even your camera and phone have AI in it.. gmail, maps, etc.. AI is not about design and editing video only.. someone need to do something about this.. it sounds stupid..

    Google asked Gemini Spark to plan a block party. It went through Gmail, built an RSVP sheet, drafted the awkward “you still haven’t replied” emails, made a Slides deck, and even found the HOA rule nobody remembered was sitting in Drive. Boring task. Great agent demo. I wrote down how systems like this are actually built ↓

    3. QuillBot QuillBot does one job, cleaning up your writing, and does it well. The extension drops paraphrasing, grammar checking and tone adjustment right into Gmail, Google Docs and most text boxes on the web. Free plan caps the paraphraser at 125 words, Premium runs about $9.95/month on the annual plan. It's not trying to be a chatbot, and that focus is exactly why people stick with it. Pros: – Integrates directly into Google Docs and Gmail – Nine paraphrasing modes give real control over tone – Cheaper than bundling grammar and paraphrasing tools separately Cons: – The 125 word free cap makes it hard to evaluate before paying – Grammar checker misses subtler clause issues that Grammarly catches – No content generation, so you still need something else for a blank page

    Jeffrey’s Turing Machine (@jeffreyon_) reported

    "Cross platform" in a scope document means Android and iOS. It does not mean a website. So nobody quotes a website. Then you reach submission and the stores want one. Apple wants a real org presence, a privacy policy that resolves, a support URL that is not a Gmail address. Now there is work nobody priced, at the exact moment everybody expected to be finished. That is the worst possible place to find scope, because from the outside it looks like the developer stalling at the finish line. The fix is boring. Read the submission requirements at quoting time, not at submission time.

    Gmail, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, are all free and ad supported. Why not AI? Lots of people are concerned about data sold to advertisers but this has been an issue with consumer apps for the longest time and yet billions of users are happily using these free apps.

    YOUR GMAIL ISN’T JUST EMAIL. IT’S THE MASTER KEY TO YOUR DIGITAL LIFE. If someone gets control of your inbox, they may be able to reset access to your social media, shopping accounts, cloud storage, payment services, and other accounts tied to that email. The scary part? They may not need to know every password. They just need to control the account that receives the reset links. Here’s how to lock down your Gmail in about 10 minutes. 👇

  • p3ob7o
    Paolo Belcastro (@p3ob7o) reported

    I've had the same email address since 1997. In those years I changed platforms, providers, and servers maybe twelve times. At one point I had mail servers humming in my living room. Nobody who wrote to me ever had to know. The address survived everything that changed behind it. That's the power of owning a domain: the infrastructure is yours to move, replace, or break, the address stays the same. I say this because there's a problem that's been around for years, and I don't hear many people talking about it directly: email looks like an open standard but, in practice, it is not. Today roughly half of all email opens happen on either iCloud or Gmail and the real concentration is even higher than the official numbers suggest. Which means two companies sit between every sender and every recipient and they control what gets through. Period. Both will let you use a custom domain, of course, but neither has any real interest in you doing so. A custom domain means you can leave and take your address with you, and that's not something they're eager to enable. They want you on their domain, dependent on their system. That's how the network stays theirs. Did you ever realize?

    @maks6361 Happens if you don’t have a sim or you’ve made way too many accounts on the same phone. Also domain emails are super low trusted just buy gmail accounts. And worst case use sms pool and register with a temporary number the only issue is you won’t be able to 2ga

    How @Google gets away with this blows my mind. “Hey, sign into your Gmail account or it’s deleted it been 2 years.” Also Google, “Hey, yeah we did tell you to sign in or we’ll delete the email, but even though it’s been 2 years and you used the correct password, we expect you to use the same exact device or location. So your emails being deleted!”

    @openclaw Can anyone tell me how to use gpt models on openclaw with litellm? Main problem is that you tell it to do anything and it MAY reply once and just dead stops. here is a typical reply when I ask follow up question: "I failed again by promising work without executing it. I’m now doing the full transaction review, including the complete Gmail thread, device-lock evidence, ..." + "failed to actually perform the check after saying I would. I’m doing it now." and then will not again.

    my personal gmail was hacked. I lost access to my @coinbase and in order to get the funds out of my old account and into my new one, I need to verify my identity. here's the problem: I have tried a dozen times to verify my identity for my new account and I keep getting an error message. I am following each step perfectly. I am exchanging emails with @CoinbaseSupport What am I doing wrong? Has anyone experienced this issue before?

    Finally, an email address change that doesn’t mean starting your digital life over. Google is fixing a surprisingly annoying problem. If you’ve had the same Gmail address since you were a teenager, this matters. 👀
