David Marlow (@theikigaiguy) reported@DavidAvromBell Got a similar email today. Must say, it was well written. If not for the gmail address and an error in the Instagram account name I might have thought it was real.

Bhagyesh (@bhagyeshsp) reportedMost of the SaaS software we use have a major flaw in them and most people aren't aware of it. I'm not going to breadcrumb you to read the full writeup. The main flaw is that there's no pause button. We can't pause our account. That's it? You might think. But think about all the SaaS software you use on a daily basis, which is almost 100% of all software. Take an example of Gmail workspace. If you've been using it (which is a SaaS), the moment you stop paying, your account access is gone. And if you don't pay the subscription (aka ransom), you lose your data and work. All modern SaaS platforms are aimed at keeping revenue alive. And I understand that economic need. But that doesn't mean I agree with this practice. That is the reason, for all my clients at Sisyphus Consulting, one of the most important filters used in services and advisory is: can we press breaks without losing data? That is one of the problems I wanted to address. So, we launched Self-hosted Software Management service almost a year back. It is our end-to-end service helping businesses setup, scale and maintain their own open source applications and servers. The ability to pause the whole setup, stopping the monthly billing and still retaining ownership of the accumulated data, is one of the things that I'm proud of offering. The interesting matter is that, most of us do not think about this. Because none of the major SaaS providers offer this pause button. What we don't see, we don't think about. Out of sight, out of mind. For example, have you thought about having your free Gmail account emails having physically backed up on your own device or server? I too, hadn't thought about it few years ago. We build our entire work and life around a Gmail account and we don't even think about owning our emails. Almost a year back, finally I switched to Thunderbird, backed up all of 10k+ emails of past decade in a readable, open format. Now I have no worries about Gmail going down tomorrow. It is crazy how many things the modern SaaS business model has taken away from us: ownership, longevity, interoperability and joy of using the same tools for years.

Tricia Newkirk (@bbfitnut) reported@katiehobbs @MaryLouRosas1 Katie, Sweetie… This Is Your Record?” 1. The Pay‑to‑Play Saga That Just Won’t Die Katie out here preaching “nonpartisan leadership” while her administration was busy starring in a real‑life episode of Arizona: The Donation Connection. • Massive donations roll in. • Rate increases magically appear. • A secret legal defense fund pops up like a desert gopher. But sure, Katie — tell us more about “doing what’s right for Arizona.” 2. The $2 Million Wire Transfer to Nigeria This one is peak comedy. Her Housing Department literally wired $2 million of Arizona taxpayer money to scammers. To Nigeria. Because they didn’t have basic verification procedures. Katie: “Leadership is delivering results.” Arizona: “Girl, you delivered $2 million to a scammer with a Gmail account.” 3. The Tourism Logo Fiasco $700,000 blown on a tourism rebrand that looked like someone opened Canva and said “good enough.” Then — shocker — the marketing firm had ties to the Tourism Director’s brother. Director resigns in 48 hours. But yes, Katie, tell us again how you’re “bringing people together.” Apparently mostly through ethics investigations. 4. Court Ruling: You Literally Broke State Law A judge ruled she violated Arizona law by installing agency heads without Senate confirmation. She tried to bypass oversight by inventing “executive deputy directors.” The court basically said: “Nice try, but no.” Leadership, Katie? You can’t even follow the rulebook. 5. Transparency Issues That Make People Squint Even after prosecutors declined charges, the Attorney General said the whole situation showed a need for legislative reform. Translation: “Something smells off, but we can’t prove it yet.”

a (@adidogCEO) reportedand as we continue to see retail adoption events, the less crypto becomes crypto ppl don't want to know what is under the hood, they just want it to work they don't want to remember seeds, private keys, or even use a wallet address to signin they just want to login with gmail and have it work and they are not fee-sensitive as long as its not exorbitant cheap and fast doesn't matter as long as it is cheap and fast enough

Tapani Lastellar☄️🪣 (@lastellar_) reported@TeamYouTube My Gmail has recently been restored and the Adsense looks ok but when I go to my channels it says Adsense suspended. How do I fix this? I assume it got suspended when my Gmail was disabled.

Jordan Wiens (@psifertex) reported@Zoom Oh! I remember the other problem. The "send a code" button is super slow. Yes, I checked my spam folder. Took several minutes to come through. To a gmail domain. It also produces a captcha error every time you click the button even after you've already clicked the captcha.

Sun Uther Wahn (@Stormwilliams) reported@bot @bot i have been waiting for five days for Customer service to resolve a sync issue. I signed up mainly for GrokBot but have been unable to use it because it tries to sync my cursor to my Gmail account which is attached to my Apple account which is how my grok account logged in.

Mindy (@Mindy43087085) reported@paulickreport @raypaulick Why r u now requiring a gmail account to comment, to even read comments? Please go back to just an email or make a login for ur site. I don't want to get a gmail account just4u, & my phone & number r none of ur or Google's business. This is ridiculous.

Mayank Parmar (@mayank_jee) reported@mdreinders @bdsams It's pretty garbage for work account use cases as well, at least in my case. It nags you daily with summaries, which are basically just prompts that you could have used yourself from the left sidebar or ribbon menu. Copilot in Outlook is really horrible (overall). It can't find emails. It can't make basic changes to the emails I've written. It simply doesn't follow my instructions most of the time. "Can you just fix grammar" > proceeds to rewrite the entire email. Gemini in Gmail is also pretty trash. I do not understand how AI in email can be so bad, as it's a pretty good use case for AI, imho

janschweppes (@jAnschCS) reported@TechsavvyCS It was surprising that so many people were experiencing this problem. With a simple automation set up in Gmail, I redirect the incoming email to Telegram, and by using a long ringtone in Telegram, I can wake up even while asleep and deliver the item. Updated your research

Ankit Agarwal (@kumarumt) reported@theo Account risk is the silent pricing factor. A Gemini ban that nukes Gmail and Drive is not a product outage, it is personal catastrophe. Labs that want builders will separate model access from identity, or lose the default to anyone who cannot afford that downside.

mayrachm (@mayrachm) reported@egavrilenko11 @bot 2/3 GitHub didn't work either. I even tried creating a Cursor account, and it was the same. It only worked when I used the Gmail login option. I used another personal account and then linked it to my Supergrok account. I'm logged in that way, but when I connected the X plugin...

Thomas O'Connor '62 baby, #GodBlessAmerica 🇺🇲 (@TheyCallMeTomO1) reported@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!

Martin Szerment | Practical AI (@MartinSzerment) reportedClaude can now run your Mac in the background while you do something else, and that quietly ends the debate about whether AI agents need your full attention. Everyone assumed autonomous computer control meant giving up your screen, watching a cursor move while you wait. That assumption is wrong now, at least on macOS 15. Sonnet 4.6 scores 72.5% on OSWorld, up from under 15% when computer use first shipped in late 2024. Two years took the model from novelty to something close to reliable. Yes, it's Pro and Max only, macOS only, still marked research preview. None of that changes the direction, it only changes the rollout schedule. This isn't a new feature, it's a shift in where automation lives. For a decade we treated automation as an API problem. Now the interface itself is the integration layer. Give it three years and clicking through a UI will be the fallback path, not the exception, for every agent that lacks a direct connector. Connectors like Slack and Gmail stop being the main event and become a shortcut Claude reaches for first, before it falls back to acting like you would. Engineers who spent years building bespoke API integrations are about to watch screen control eat a chunk of that work. Multitasking on a Mac just got a second set of hands, and most people haven't noticed yet.

Liam Turner (@liam_turner_ai) reported10. Check Your Login Devices Regularly 👀 Check your account activity at least once a month. Look for unknown devices or login sessions on Facebook, Gmail, WhatsApp, and other important accounts. See something suspicious? Log it out immediately.

Nate Tucker (@natetucker) reportedGmail search is broken. We're building an AI assistant which lets people talk to it. It tries to look up contacts by the name it hears. 60% of the time it failed. The reason it failed was because we were learning on Gmail search. Gmail's search doesn't understand that words can sound alike. It only matches from the start of a word, caps how many results it returns, and doesn't sort by how relevant a result actually is. Somehow it gets worse, because the old matching would grab any word containing the letters you typed. Searching for "Dr. Stevens" could match the "dr" hiding inside "Sandra" or "Pedro," and one of those wrong matches would often win. We got fed up and built our own directory instead.

dusty (@Dtraintolomah) reported@Robyn3rfw @fib618nyc @alojohhardcore so i get these generic trade alert emails, but they dont pop up from my lock screen because i dont want every single gmail i get notifying me. furthermore, it doesnt say what trade it is, so i have to click the link into the AJ app, which requires me to login every time, unlike

Martijn Verbove (@verbove) reported@rahulvohra @Superhuman thanks for the quick response, Rahul! here’s some constructive feedback: ↳ the double nav is the biggest issue. ↳ i switch sections constantly and keep opening calendar by accident. ↳ i never use calendar, so it shouldn’t be in the primary nav. ↳ search feels redundant since swipe already worked. ↳ the smaller menu icons/text make things like “sent” harder to find. ↳ multiple calendars per one inbox feels like the wrong hierarchy. ↳ the old ui felt calm and focused. this feels much closer to gmail, the reason i switched to superhuman in the first place. i’ve been a customer for 5 years and hope you’ll reconsider these changes.

meowwww (@ChelseaRAR) reportedI thought I’d have trouble staying up for work (start a new stretch tomorrow night) but my Gmail filled up (???) and I had to delete 1000s of emails

Rachael Nelson (@rachael__nelson) reported@adamislucky I think this just about every day when I have to hunt down the search. I hate the mobile app Home Screen UX so bad right now. History is also brutally messed up. But, we have Gmail and Google Maps and Waymo and search.

Tony Tong | Founder | Ancient Systems x AI (@tonytonggg) reported@Mikadzyki_NFT Handing off a shift to a stack of workers only holds up if the plumbing actually connects. My own Nanobot instance runs on MiniMax 2.5, and getting a Composio MCP server wired in just for Gmail access ate a stubborn chunk of my week.

Daryl Mendoza (@darylemb1) reported@joeygems @Stron__ @elenadesaa1999 Your data is cheaper than the infrastructure behind your Gmail account. They can read your emails because it’s their platform; you can set up your own SMTP server or even in fact, you can pay (once again, it’s not free) for an email account with end-to-end encryption.

The Dr. Margaret Show (@DrMargaretShow) reported@JohnBeaudoinSr Wow. Gmail shares attachments with AI, and yesterday, GoDaddy’s Outlook was down for 8 hours. I was unable to log in on my laptop, and the mobile app showed no new emails all day. Looks to me like they don’t want us emailing one another, in preparation for the next thing.
