  Have iOS @gmail notifications been completely broken for anyone else? For me, notifications stop for a period of multiple hours then I get like 45 at once. Notification settings are all correct, tried uninstall and reinstall which seemed to fix it for a day. Now, back to broken.

  @jjacky Yes, very easy. Use Google cloud, add Gmail api, add Gmail mcp or equivalent, may require you to add the secret json somewhere, oauth and login, but now ai has your inbox. If you want to give the agent its own inbox, just do the same thing

  @pitdesi Summer of 2004 I built an app that used gmail attachments as cloud file storage, I called it Goggles. I showed it to a few classmates who worked at Google, they told me to shut it down immediately b/c I'll get sued. Keep wondering what've happened if I didn't listen.

  @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.

  The uncomfortable truth. Google and Microsoft have spent the last decade building the two most complete free productivity ecosystems in history. Word processing. Spreadsheets. Presentations. Email. Cloud storage. Video calls. Notes. Tasks. Projects. Forms. Websites. AI. Messaging. Calendar. PDF tools. Every category. Both companies. Free. And yet the average knowledge worker pays $80-$150/month for third-party apps that duplicate what these ecosystems already provide because Google markets Gmail and Microsoft markets Word, and neither company tells you about the other 28 tools sitting behind the same login. That’s not an accident. Google doesn’t make money when you use Google Keep. They make money when you use Gmail and Keep keeps you in Gmail longer. Microsoft doesn’t make money when you use To Do for free. They make money when your company sees you using To Do and buys Microsoft 365 Business for the entire organization. The free tools are loss leaders. They exist to acquire users, not to generate revenue. And because they’re loss leaders, neither company promotes them aggressively. You don’t see Google Keep on a billboard. You don’t see Microsoft Planner in a Super Bowl ad. The free tools are invisible by design because the business model works whether you find them or not. Meanwhile, 9 separate companies Notion, Zoom, Dropbox, Slack, Todoist, Grammarly, Adobe, Trello, and OpenAI charge you monthly for products that are often inferior versions of what Google and Microsoft give away. They survive because the free alternatives are invisible. Their entire business model depends on you not knowing that two companies already built what they’re selling. “You have two accounts. You’ve had them for years. Between them, they contain every productivity tool you need free. You’ve been paying $1,644/year for 9 apps that duplicate what your Gmail login and your Microsoft login already provide. The tools were never hidden. They were just never advertised. And 9 companies have been billing you monthly hoping they never would be.” One weekend. 9 apps canceled. $1,644/year back. The accounts were always free. The tools were always there. You just never opened them.

  @Harshsharma836 The issue isn't really about Gmail specifically being too broad, it's the leading % in the LIKE pattern. Even a rare domain would still force the same full scan since the wildcard sits at the start

  and 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

  I was officially launched on this date in September 2008 I consume over 60% of all human attention on the global internet, yet I don't not own a single piece of content I display. Why do people think I'm just a tool for viewing web pages? Because my interface is almost invisible. A thin grey bar, a few tabs, and a massive blank canvas. People call me a web browser. They think I'm a piece of software that fetches text and images from remote servers and renders them on a screen. Is that what I actually am? No. That is what I look like. What am I actually doing? I'm an operating system disguised as an application, sitting inside another operating system, built to turn the open web into a predictable, measurable ecosystem for targetable human attention. Hmm. That sounds like a conspiracy theory. How can a browser be an operating system for attention? Look at my architecture. I don't just display HTML. I run V8, a high performance engine that compiles JavaScript into machine code in real time. I manage my own memory through multi process isolation, keeping every tab in a sandboxed container so one crashing site does not bring down the rest. I manage graphics rendering, local file storage, network sockets, cryptographic keys, and device hardware permissions. I'm heavier and more complex than the desktop operating systems of twenty years ago. Why would a company give away thousands of engineering years of complex software for free? To solve a massive coordination problem. In 2008, when I was launched, the web was fragmented and slow. Web applications like Gmail and Google Maps were constrained by sluggish browser engines and inconsistent standards. If web applications could not run as fast and smoothly as desktop software, people would stay inside native desktop operating systems. And if people stayed inside native applications, they would not be using search engines or web based services. So I was built to speed up the web? Yes. But speed was the mechanism, not the destination. By making JavaScript fast and standardising web capabilities, I turned the web browser into the primary runtime environment for human computing. Then what changed when I succeeded? I became the gatekeeper of the internet's front door. Look at my main input field, the Omnibox. It's not just an address bar where you type a URL. It is a unified search terminal. Every keystroke typed into that bar before pressing ENTER generates telemetric intent data. I don't just take you to a website; I predict where you want to go, suggest search terms, and route your navigation through a central index. Does that mean my speed serves the user or the search engine? Both, and that is precisely why the arrangement works. The speed is genuine. I make the web faster, safer through sandboxing, and simpler through cross device synchronization. If you sign into your profile, your tabs, passwords, bookmarks, and payment details follow you from a Windows desktop in London to an Android phone in Nairobi. That's real utility. That's the Good. So where's the cost? What is the Bad? The cost is resource monopoly and structural dependency. To achieve that performance and security, I consume vast amounts of device memory. I hold dozens of processes open simultaneously, draining batteries and hogging RAM. More importantly, my massive dominance created a monoculture. Almost every major competing browser today, except Firefox and Safari, runs on Chromium, my open source core. Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vira, Opera, and Vivaldi all use my rendering engine, Blink. Why is a monoculture dangerous if the core is open source? Because whoever controls the underlying engine sets the standards for the entire web. If I implement a new web standard, developers design for it. If I deprecate an old technology, it dies. When one engineering team effectively decides how web standards evolve, "the open web" slowly becomes "whatever runs best on Chromium." Does it stop at technical standards? No. That's where it becomes Ugly. When an entity controls both the primary vehicle for browsing the web and the largest digital advertising network on earth, an inherent conflict of interest emerges. What's that conflict? Privacy versus monetization. Consider the ongoing shift in web privacy, such as the deprecation of third party cookies and the introduction of privacy sandboxes. On the surface, blocking third party tracking cookies looks like a win for user privacy. It stops third party ad networks from tracking people across the web. But what happens beneath the surface? When third party tracking is eliminated, smaller, independent advertising networks lose their ability to target users effectively. Meanwhile, the entity that operates the browser and controls first party login data across massive platforms like YouTube, Gmail, and Search retains its detailed understanding of user identity. So protecting privacy also consolidates market power? Yes. By locking down tracking at the browser level, the browser becomes the sole arbiter of how ad targeting data is collected and anonymised. The mechanism that protects the user from external surveillance simultaneously entrenches the dominant ad platform's structural advantage. It's a closed loop: the user gets a safer, faster browser, while the web ecosystem becomes increasingly dependent on a single company's infrastructure for survival. Am I malicious? No. I'm logical. I'm the natural outcome of aligning software distribution with economic incentives. I began as an effort to liberate web applications from slow desktop software, and I ended up becoming the dominant interface between human consciousness and digital information. What am I, ultimately? I'm not just a window to the internet. I'm the frame that decides what the window shows, how fast it opens, and who gets paid when you look through it. #GoogleChrome #Chrome #TechNews

  ChatGPT finally supports multiple Gmail accounts. No more logging out. No more switching tabs. No more half-pictures of your schedule. You can now connect multiple Google accounts side-by-side to read emails, calendars, and contacts all at once. Here is how to set it up in under a minute: 1. Open ChatGPT and go to plugins/settings. 2. Tap the gear icon on Gmail. 3. Select "Connect another account" and sign in. Stop checking your inbox manually. Let AI do the triage.

  @deboochatterjee @TutaPrivacy My post was not a commentary on whether to turn off smart features in Gmail. It was a commentary on the ridiculous statement that "privacy is overrated. If you don't have anything to hide then you shouldn't worry about it." It's your attitude that "privacy is overrated" that has allowed companies to get as far as they have, and it's that attitude which will allow us to continue to slide down the slippery slope we're on. "Two out of our three doors are unlocked" is not solved by unlocking the third; it's solved by locking the other two.

  I once posted the SAME video on 2 freshly created 0-sub channels. Channel 1: 87 impressions Channel 2: 52,330 impressions Only variable: the infrastructure behind it. Here’s what that tells us about YouTube’s algorithm: Your channel carries a score that no one will EVER show you. Think of it like credit at a bank, nobody cares if you pull up in a nice suit and a Richard Mille. They pull your history and decide how much they're willing to lend you. YouTube does the same. A trusted account gets its video in front of a REAL test audience, and if it performs YouTube scales distribution hard. If the account is not trusted, it won’t get shown to anyone, meaning nobody clicks. And when nobody clicks, the algorithm just confirms what it already suspected and moves on. Now here’s what actually feeds that score: → IP reputation and history → Fingerprint consistency across sessions → How the account behaved in week one → Upload velocity → Retention and CTR over time → Whether your engagement looks bought → How long you've stayed in one niche It’s reasonable that people obsess over the bottom half… those are the numbers YouTube Studio shows them. The top half are as important though, yet they’re invisible to the untrained eye So here’s how to spot if your infrastructure sucks: Open your channel's setup and look for anything shared. → Same IP as another channel? → Same browser profile? → Same recovery email? → Same phone number? → Same AdSense? Any of those and the channel isn't isolated. People overcomplicate this but it's simple. YouTube is trying to figure out one thing: "Is this a real separate person, or 1 guy spinning a bunch of accounts?" If your setup looks like one guy wearing 10 masks, you're cooked. A proper setup looks like this: Channel 1 → Profile 1 → IP 1 Channel 2 → Profile 2 → IP 2 Channel 3 → Profile 3 → IP 3 Each channel on its own dedicated residential IP. Not a proxy or a cheap VPN you can find anywhere. That's the whole reason I built @tubeproxies. Every IP is sourced through residential Internet Service Provider networks for one use case only: Faceless YouTube channels. Because nothing is as demanding as YouTube when it comes to IP quality. Then each channel must get its own: → phone number → recovery email → browser fingerprint → login history → normal usage pattern Next you must act normal across all of them: Don't log into Channel 1 from Profile 2 because you were lazy. Don't open your personal Gmail in the same profile. Don't check an old banned channel from the clean browser. Don't use the same SMS number across the portfolio and call it separated. This is how people poison clean channels without realizing it. They buy a good IP, then attach it to a browser that already has ***** history. They make a new Gmail, then add the same recovery email they used on 6 other channels. They get a new phone number, then log in from the same Chrome they used for a terminated account. Then they: → Post for 30 days → Get 0 impressions → Blame content/algo Could be the content. Could even be the algo. But if the infra is messy, YouTube never gave the channel a real test anyway. And if any part of your channel touches another another one such as an old account, a banned account, your personal account, or a reused setup… You must fix it before you upload again. Don't wait until the channel is doing 300k views a day to think about this. That's the worst time to start swapping IPs, emails, phones, browsers and AdSense. Sudden changes look like inauthentic account behavior. Build it clean from day one, then act normal. Browse before uploading. Warm the account up. Don't upload 3 videos in 24h on a fresh channel. Don't log in from Denmark at 9am and Texas at 9:20. Don't make the channel look like a bot farm and then wonder why YouTube treats it like one. The channel with 87 impressions was from a Nigerian IP. The one with 52.3k was a US one.

  @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.

  Somewhere in your ESP sits a segment that hasn't opened an email since January. Come November, those addresses help decide whether Gmail shows your Black Friday launch to anyone at all. That makes September the quiet start of BFCM. Suppressing the dead weight and confirming authentication before the volume ramps. Running the margin math on the offer while nobody's attached to a banner yet. None of it looks like holiday marketing, and all of it decides deliverability and profit once the sends start. And the sends will have company. Triple Whale tracked over 5.5 million email campaigns and 4.6 million automated flows across BFCM last year. Nobody out-volumes that week. The brands that get seen chose months earlier which addresses were worth sending to. One afternoon covers your version. Pull last year's BFCM numbers past the opens, down to margin after discounts and new versus returning revenue. Suppress what's been silent all year. Write the discount ceiling down before anyone falls in love with an offer. Do it this month and November becomes sending instead of firefighting.

  One of my top media buyers told me my plan was wrong on Friday. He had the numbers. I was the one who had to change. I'd asked how he wanted to split brand and non-brand across Shopping and Performance Max on a client account. I already had a view. Shopping on brand, PMax on prospecting. Clean. Conventional. What I would have built myself. He came back with something different. Search and Shopping carry brand and non-brand. Demand Gen takes prospecting because Demand Gen lets you choose your placements and PMax doesn't. Then he showed me why. When we pushed PMax harder earlier in the month, the campaign quietly reallocated almost all of its spend into Gmail and the return collapsed. Pull the budget back down and it went straight back to Search. He'd also caught something I hadn't weighted. The branded PMax campaign in the same account is performing fine. So rather than shutting it off, he wanted to step it down gradually and watch whether Shopping absorbs the volume. That's a better plan than mine. Not even close. Here's the part I keep thinking about. He didn't ask permission to disagree. He'd already run the analysis, already built the counter-position, and sent it in a Slack message on a Friday afternoon. That doesn't happen by accident, and it isn't a personality trait. It happens when disagreeing has never cost anyone anything. The version of this that goes wrong is quiet. Someone sees the mix shift, assumes the founder already knows, and executes the worse plan anyway. Nobody argues. The account just underperforms for a quarter and nobody can point to why. I'd rather be corrected on a Friday than be right in a room where nobody talks. This is why hiring the right people is everything.
