  @cartierfamilyZ Why are people so pressed about data centers all of a sudden? All of your online information from X account, to gmail, any online storage, website etc is stored in a data center. We've had data centers for decades, all of a sudden they're an issue? Take a deep breath, and tune out the idiotic noise.

  Shout out to @MailspringApp I installed it last year for a desktop app that had Gmail keyboard shortcuts. I just noticed it has an MCP server now. I don't have to do a song an dance to give my Hermes agent access to various email accounts. I can reference an account and subject when prompting my agent and it can read the email, screenshots, attachments, etc. It can even draft reply emails for me that I can go back an edit and send when I'm ready. Thank you!

  I'm unable to log in into my account. I'm trying by gmail and the otp isn't coming. Also when I'm trying to login by phone number, the otp is coming but after entering the groww pin it's showing something went wrong. Help me regarding this issue. @groww_cs

  @lingxi @bot To be more specific, using the Gmail connector bot has huge trouble sending multiple screenshots from app he just made to my own Gmail. I thing he could make an app for doing this 10 times in the time it took him to use Gmail to do it (unsuccessfuly).

  Gmail 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.

  @GergelyOrosz Really? When tech companies have an outage they sort of shrug and the economy goes on. AWS out - “we’re sorry” Robinhood down - “we made mistakes” Microsoft/Gmail down - “we’re working on it” Bank can’t dispense money? Bank runs, economic fall out, congressional hearings.

  Nvm YouTube link is broken, so guess that means it’s not ‘contact us’ anymore..but ‘contact me’ now Meaning that email from that Gmail account wasn’t her saying all that. She also doesn’t talk like how the email was written either, so it’s more to show someone else still won’t let go of her

  Founders think BFCM prep starts in November By then it’s already too late Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook don’t judge your emails on Black Friday. They judge you on what you’ve been doing in the weeks leading up to it The emails you send this month decide whether your November campaigns land in the inbox or rot in spam If you email subscribers who open and click, better placement, more opens, better reputation. The loop pays you If you blast a full list that mostly ignores you, promotions tab, then spam, then a reputation that keeps sliding. The loop bleeds you By the time Black Friday hits, the loop is already locked. You can’t fix it in a weekend What to actually do this month: → Send only to subscribers who opened or clicked in the last 90 days → If above 40% open rate ibcrease to 120 days if less decrease to 60 days → Exclude Marked as spam, unsubscribed, dropped and suppressed atleast once overall time. → Keep sending consistently 3-4 a week, 80% designed, 20% plain text →Clean your list every 2 weeks Black Friday is won in the weeks most founders spend ignoring email

  your youtube trust score might be killing your channel’s views and you don’t even know about it… there’s no place to check it, but it exists you've seen it happen. a creator posts 20 genuinely good videos. zero traction. under 100 impressions on all of them. they assume they're bad at this, burn out, and quit. the content was fine, and the channel was flagged before their first upload even went live. let me break down exactly how this works and the $0 fix... when you create a new youtube channel, the system evaluates a set of signals to classify whether you're a real creator or a bot farm. fresh gmail + instant uploads + 0 viewing history + no subscriber activity = the exact fingerprint of the spam channels youtube kills every day so the system treats you the same way. your reach gets throttled before you've begun. i've watched this wreck dozens of channels in the facelessOS community before we figured out the pattern. a creator sets up a new gmail, creates a channel, uploads 5 videos in the first week, and wonders why their impressions are in the single digits. they think their thumbnails need work. their hooks need work. their niche selection was wrong. the real cause sat elsewhere: the channel was classified as low-trust on day one. and once you're locked in what people are calling "0 view jail," the algorithm withholds enough initial impressions to even TEST whether your videos are good. you're uploading into a void. the protocol fixing this costs nothing and takes 7 days. step 1: use a gmail you've had for months. an aged, real email with search history, youtube watch history, subscriptions, normal activity. this single change shifts how youtube classifies the account from the start. aged gmails signal "real human." fresh gmails signal "potential spam." step 2: spend 7 days as a viewer before you upload anything. watch full videos in your niche. complete watch-throughs rather than 30-second clicks. subscribe to 10-15 channels in your space. leave a few real comments. like videos. build a viewing profile that matches the audience you want to attract. this sounds dumb. it's the highest-leverage 7 days you'll ever spend on a channel. the system now has evidence you're a real person with real interests in the niche you're about to create content for. that reads completely differently to "anonymous account uploaded 5 videos about true crime yesterday." step 3: verify your identity. enable feature eligibility in your youtube settings. this requires a government ID and phone number. i know some faceless creators hate this because they want full anonymity. the tradeoff is the algorithm treating you like a verified human instead of an unknown entity. every creator in our network who verified saw an immediate increase in initial impression allocation. step 4: upload cadence matters MORE than upload volume. the channels that escape 0 view jail the fastest upload 2-3 videos in their first week with 48-72 hours between uploads, well away from 5 videos on day one. consistent spacing signals "real creator." mass uploads signal "bot farm." youtube's system is pattern-matching your behaviour against known spam patterns, and spam channels dump content fast. step 5: your first 3 videos are an audition. youtube tests new channels by sampling a small audience. if those first 3 videos get decent retention (above 40%) and positive engagement, the system escalates your trust and your next uploads get shown to a bigger initial pool. if your first 3 videos get 10% retention because the scripts were weak, the system downgrades you and your next uploads get an even smaller test audience. it's a compounding loop in both directions. this is why i keep saying the script carries everything. especially for new channels, the first 3 scripts need to be ENGINEERED for retention. they set the trust score for every video that comes after. the channels in our network running scripts built on retention data from 8,000+ proven scripts skip the 0 view jail entirely. their first videos get tested on meaningful audience sizes because the retention signals tell the algorithm "this channel is worth pushing."

  I sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :)

Accounts created: 0 (he already had both) Apps downloaded: 3 (Microsoft To Do, Teams, OneNote all free) Browser extensions installed: 1 (Microsoft Editor free) Every replacement runs on accounts he created years ago. The tools were sitting behind the same login he uses for Gmail and Outlook unused, unconfigured, and paying rent to 9 other companies that built the same features on top of what Google and Microsoft were already giving away.

  @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.

  @huacnlee Tried your app. Sign-in offers either Google Auth or IMAP. I went with IMAP, then found out Gmail no longer accepts password logins. Tried switching back to Google Auth: impossible. Uninstalled and reinstalled — still stuck on the "Add an IMAP mailbox" screen. Can you fix this?

  Gave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

  Ima let you finish, but... DON'T USE Gmail. Use Protonmail with dual encryption 2 passwords to get into your email + an authenticator key 🔑 or authy app. No idea why more email providers don't use the same model. But very few others allow for the dual login requirement of 2 passwords. If you have to use 2 emails use Protonmail address as your ultimate recovery email for Gmail or Whatever your second email is. Don't add phone authentication Sim swapping is EZ for a social engineer.

  This has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

  10. 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.
