Prabhakar Singh Parihar प्रभाकर सिँह परिहार (@IPrabhakarSP) reported@SamsungIndia @SamsungMobile I've been using Samsung devices for years and never faced anything like this before. The problems started only after the latest software update. Suddenly Gmail, Play Store, Google Pay, and other Google services stopped working properly. Instead of asking customers to visit a service center for an issue caused by a software update, Samsung should acknowledge the problem and provide a proper fix. A software update is supposed to improve the user experience, not break essential apps. Really disappointing, @SamsungIndia

Kamal Kannan (@kamalkannan) reportedI think the difference comes down to time to value. Instagram, TikTok, Uber: they solved a problem everyone already had, and they did it instantly. Open the app and within seconds you understand why it's useful. Agents are different. Before they're actually helpful, you have to connect Gmail, calendars, drives, CRMs, Slack, and give them enough context to understand your work. That's a lot of upfront effort before you reach the "aha" moment. For most consumers, the payoff isn't worth that investment yet. Their day-to-day digital tasks are usually quick enough that doing them manually feels easier than setting up an agent to do them. Businesses are a different story. They have repeatable workflows, shared context, and clear ROI. Spending an hour setting up an agent that saves hundreds of hours later is an easy decision. I don't think the missing piece is better models. It's reducing the setup cost to almost zero. The breakthrough will happen when an agent understands your context automatically and starts delivering value before you've spent time configuring it.

Serggio Monttilva (@monttilva) reportedBasically, she’s my VA, so I had this problem where I didn’t want to give her access to all of my Gmail, WhatsApp, and Slack. I mean, there are Slack workspaces where I can’t include her. But the great thing is that now, with Codex and computer use, you can do this funny thing

Nick Thorp (@nickthorpp) reportedThe Strategic Move That Could Save Google's AI Future (And Why They Probably Won't Make It) I've been building with AI long enough to remember when Google felt untouchable. Back in the day, if you were an engineer, Google was the mountaintop. They had the papers. They had the researchers. They had the TPUs. Every breakthrough worth caring about seemed to flow out of Mountain View. Then something shifted. I started noticing it around 2022. Small teams — like, embarrassingly small teams — were shipping things that Google couldn't. A handful of people were building coding agents, AI-native IDEs, full-stack generation tools that developers actually wanted to use. Meanwhile, Google would announce something incredible at I/O, and six months later it would be deprecating it or burying it inside some product nobody asked for. I felt it personally. I'd build on a Google API, get invested, write code around it, and then watch it get sunset with a blog post and thirty days' notice. I'd migrate. Rebuild. Curse under my breath. Repeat. And the whole time I kept asking myself the same question. Why does a company with this much firepower keep fumbling the ball? Today on X, @pmddomingos dropped a take that stopped me cold. He said Google should move to a pharma and movie studio model. Distribution muscle in-house. Creativity outsourced to smaller, nimbler outfits. The more I sat with it, the more it made sense. Here's what pharma companies understand. They don't try to discover every drug themselves. They buy or partner with biotech startups that do the messy, creative, high-risk research. Then they handle the clinical trials, the regulatory maze, the distribution. They are the last mile. The scale. The muscle. Movie studios work the same way. They don't develop every script in-house. Production companies, independent creators, writers — they handle the creative chaos. The studio handles financing, marketing, and getting butts into seats or onto streaming platforms. Now look at Google. Google has arguably the most powerful distribution infrastructure in human history. Search. YouTube. Android. Gmail. Chrome. Billions of users. A cloud platform with global reach. They even quietly entered the movie and TV business through 100 Zeros, operating at arm's length with a tiny dedicated staff — not unlike Nike's Waffle Iron Entertainment setup. Distribution is not Google's problem. It never was. Google's problem is the other thing. The creative part. The part where someone says what if we built this and then actually builds it without seventeen layers of review, a committee, and a strategy doc nobody reads. I've watched internal Google teams iterate at the speed of government while a three-person startup ships a product that hits a million users in a month. The startup has no compute advantage. No brand moat. But it has velocity and creative hunger. It has a developer workspace where ideas turn into deployed apps in hours, not quarters. That's the thing the pharma and studio models get right. They don't confuse distribution capability with creative capability. They know those are different muscles. They know the people who are great at one are usually terrible at the other. And here's what's wild — there's a prediction floating around that by 2026, studios will split into two clear camps. Those still waiting for permission and greenlights. And those building systems that monetize audience attention every single day. The AI world is heading the same direction. The companies that win won't be the ones with the most researchers behind closed doors. They'll be the ones who figure out how to be the platform, the distribution layer, the last mile — while letting a thousand small, hungry teams handle the creative chaos of building what users actually want. Google doesn't need to out-innovate OpenAI or Anthropic or the next two-person startup that blows up overnight. It needs to stop trying. It needs to become the studio. The distributor. The infrastructure that smaller players build on top of. And honestly? It's already sitting on the pieces. It just hasn't connected them. The compute is there. The developer tools are there. The user base is there. What's missing is the mindset shift — admitting that the best ideas probably aren't going to come from inside the building, and that's okay. That's not weakness. That's leverage. I think about my own stack. I use a mix of agentic coding tools, AI-powered IDEs, local LLM environments, and cloud-based dev spaces. None of them come from Google. They could. But they don't. And the reason isn't capability. It's that Google keeps trying to be the creative genius when it should be the studio that backs a hundred creative geniuses. So here's my question — if Google went full studio model tomorrow and became the distribution layer for independent AI builders, what's the first kind of product or team you'd want to see them back? Drop your answer in the comments, I read every one. And if this resonated, follow along — I write about this stuff constantly.

Kristian Hansson (@Cen1mm) reported@tarunvats33 Samsung email. Gmail for me fails to allow me to use my outlook email and the way gmail email folders works is so a turn down. Outlook is easy my second choice. Proton is taking **** about everything that's not a proton and a serious company never tell a other products is trash.

Blake Barnes (@blakebarnes) reported@jacobtechtavern Thanks for the report! Are you using iOS 27 public beta? There was an issue with Gmail iOS 6.0.260720 on iOS 27 public beta. Gmail iOS 6.0.260727 fixes the issue and is rolling out now. If you want it faster, you can download it from the App Store.

sean lee (@infinitefun_) reportedyeah, no. the average consumer has a near zero need for offloading cognitive work. what they need is their netflix and their doordash — your job as a consumer is literally to chill tf out and stay happy and motivated if you dont intuit this as obvious you're most likely neck-deep in a muck of motivated reasoning as a consumer founder / VC okay you can use agents to search the web and synthesize findings on what to buy. okay you have cognitive chores like filing tax returns and sifting thru email. sounds like great features to bake into google and gmail! on the other hand, your job as a knowledge worker is to convert your cognition into something of economic value — and then because of competitive market dynamics, you'll also need all the cognitive amplification that's available on the market. the biggest problems need the most cognition. the consumer takes care of problems scoped to themselves. the knowledge workers together take care problems concerning society. when we look back, we'll remember how AI agents helped us cure cancer, not how your agent helped you order pizza over imessage.

David Black (@biomance) reported@TheDesertLynx I'm not defending Monero, btw... just the technology. I'm not a **** of any coin. No coin, anywhere, is as useful as they should be in my opinion. 1) Can't be certain of supply. That's such an old point that I thought the modern math would have finally put that to rest. Monero, and others like it, are auditable. Granted there's still a very tiny statistical chance that it could be wrong, but the moment an issue is found, it's SUPER easy to fix as we've seen in the past. There's been enough time and engineering to prove this point moot. 2) "No "pass-through privacy" leaks" <--- 100% agree. Mixers are the image below. 3) Since many privacy coins have ways to create auditable wallets that merchants and public donations use right now (I use them), the idea that a fund couldn't be public doesn't make sense (unless your'e referring to something else). 4) "privacy tech is significantly less efficient" <--- This is my biggest gripe because there's VERY little concern for UI/UX in the blockchain privacy space but isn't ignored in the larger privacy space. We accept slower transactions, time locks, or whack-a-mole privacy. 5) "All privacy is more valuable than no privacy" <--- 100% couldn't disagree more about blockchain. I will never not think surveillance-by-default blockchains are asking people to accept transparent bank accounts with "opt-in" privacy. I've never once seen privacy advocates outside of blockchain advocate that people just use Gmail, but with optional privacy options because it makes no sense. I feel like because money is on the line (or people getting paid by these blockchains) people are willing to promote inferior privacy for the sake of adoption... which, unfortunately, was killed off by bitcoin... a surveillance chain. Privacy advocates will promote private-by-default all day every day... but then when you talk to them about blockchain they promote surveillance-by-default which makes zero sense to me. Why... would they support default privacy everywhere else but then for the "sake of practicality" compromise on blockchain??? All the issues I have with blockchain are engineering problems. We can have fast, scalable, private-by-default transactions but so few developers are willing to think about the user experience that I think the rest of us have given up rather than blaming blockchain developers for ignoring the needs of the end user... and yes... I blame them squarely and openly for their negligence. 6) "Optional-privacy ecosystems may achieve greater absolute anonymity sets due to network effects" <--- I know this is opinion, but I'd want actual data here to support this because this actually matters. It's almost like saying, "Gmail, with it's optional privacy may achieve greater absolute anonymity due to... [whatever]". I get that Gmail is centralized so it's not an identical comparison... but the idea here that we're being asked to accept surveillance because there's optional privacy. I'm not sold and I don't think I ever will be. I apply principles across the board equally. I feel like there's a concerted effort to diminish privacy in blockchain even though EVERYWHERE ELSE privacy is seriously promoted as trying to achieve absolute privacy. Tor isn't optional privacy by default. Mullvad isn't optional privacy by default. Bitwarden isn't optional privacy by default. Proton Mail and Tuta aren't optional privacy by default. SimpleX and Signalaren't optional privacy by default. Soooooo many others. I don't know if it's malicious. I don't know if it's just what people believe. I don't know... But for some reason... when it comes to blockchain... people promote surveillance-by-default and think it's perfectly fine.

OnePersonHQ | AI Tools, Agents & Automation (@OnePersonHQ) reportedIron Man's Jarvis is now a weekend project. Total cost: about 25 dollars a month. The video breaks down exactly how it fits together. What the finished build does: a dashboard that talks, reads your inbox, watches your revenue, schedules your posts, and briefs you every morning before you wake up. The whole thing runs on a Mac mini. The stack, all off the shelf: - The brain: Claude Code, $20/mo. Reads files, runs commands, browses, calls your other apps. - The hands: MCP connectors for Gmail, Chrome, RevenueCat and Metricool. Free. - The voice: cloned from 10 seconds of audio for about $5/mo. - The face: one self-contained HTML file that Claude builds and corrects by screenshotting its own work. The build, in order: install the agent, let it build your dashboard, wire the voice, connect one app at a time starting read-only, give it a team of small scoped agents, then schedule the 9am brief that runs with your laptop closed. The one rule that makes it safe: Jarvis proposes, you approve. Email stays drafts-only. Ad budgets get capped upstream. The human stays the checkpoint. I am building the full step-by-step video tutorial for this entire system right now: every command, every connector, the exact dashboard instruction, and the complete safety checklist, all on screen. Comment "Jarvis" below and I will send you the link the second it is done.

Jun Song (@jun_song) reportedThere are rumors that Gemini 3.7 Flash has been spotted. Google holding back Gemini Pro might actually be a calculated strategic choice. They are facing severe compute issues right now, to the point where they cut off Meta's Gemini supply (Forbes). This shortfall is absurd considering it persists even after signing a $920M/month compute deal with SpaceX. People tend to dismiss Gemini because it is bad at coding, but its market share is massive. They inserted Gemini into every service line including Google, Gmail, YouTube, and Android. They offer Gemini Pro for free to college students worldwide, bundle it with telecom services, and give it away with Galaxy purchases. Their partnerships are insanely strong. Their core target is not developers who need Pro for coding, but everyday users who just need an accessible chatbot. Since Flash consumes drastically less compute to serve, we can guess they are intentionally delaying the Pro release.
