  Spent 2 hours setting up email records, DKIM, postfix, yadda yadda because some retarded bot decided my RDNS didn't match my hostname after sending one automated email to a client on @gmail probably from a perfectly normal WordPress login. Email is the worst aspect of hosting.

  the ugly web dev history, frontend. I was ignorant of JavaScript and frontend tech, from 1999 to 2010. am a web backend dev in 1998. back then, professional programers sneer JavaScript (and php). except, those big corp actually need to use it sans choice, such as gmail, google map, amazon, ebay. (the need to update page sans reloading the whole page.) Only when Node.js in 2009 By Ryan Dahl, changed things. It introduced the async, which puzzled and derided by most programers. (async, a pain in the ***. One of the worst thing in programing language history, still so today, even with latest await etc. Reason is because js is single threaded. Async is a pretend fix on this concurrency issue.) In 2010 js did not have a library system. (nor did php, scheme lisp, for the first 10 years of their life. emacs lisp has no module/namespace to this day.) Commonjs and amdjs module system mess got introduced in the wild. A very complicated mess, which created concepts like bundlers (browserify, webpack), code repo and package manager (bower, npm), task runners (gulp). npm is a corp greed, designed so that 1 line code is considered a lib, to promote its popularity. Then in 2015, js finally had some basic features, such as real local scoped variable (let), real dictionary/hashtable/map data structure. but for reason, the JavaScript committee refused a “use new js”. (google chrome dev got stunk by a “use strict”.) So, one thousands warts of js, stays in js. (such as var, use strict, string is utf16 and all methods cant deal with emoji, no real array masking as magical object with magical length. etc.) JavaScript landscape, is really 30 years of **** pile due to a in-10-days mistake. But cpp is worse.

  If one prompt can: • issue refunds • send invoices • access Gmail • edit databases • deploy code then that prompt deserves a security review

  The problem: Your Gmail profile photo is hidden from anyone outside your company — by default. Most people upload a photo and think they're done. But external leads, vendors & clients can't even see it. No face = no trust = lower open rates. It's silently killing your email game.

  Tried to sign into X with gmail, but can't remember which gmail account--and it's one that's not showing. Note the glitch. This glitch shows on Google all the time. It's the same glitch that shows for Bill Matrix, the payment service used by ConEd. The glitch shows every single time I land on the screen.

  Helio AI teammates now connect directly to the tools where your work lives. → Connect Notion, Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Figma, X, Bitly, or Outlook and your AI teammate doesn't just tell you what needs to be done. → They write the doc, post the update, open the issue, send the follow-up, publish the post. The work doesn't stop in a chat thread. It goes where it was always supposed to go.

  It’s 2026 and the 6-member limit on the #GoogleOne family plan is still completely arbitrary and frustrating. Large families exist! #IndianFamilies I’ve had Gmail since 2008 (18 years of data & loyalty), I’m a Google Ultra Max user who previously gave feedback on Gemini’s initial limitations, and this should apply to all Google One subscriptions. We can’t pay for extra slots or add more members without a whole second plan. Time to fix this. One more stupidity is I can't my family members who are in India , I'm in the usa . It is completely arbitrary. I can share such feedbacks across our #Google. It is ours to make it better. Please think about it. I didn't find a Gmail to send the feedback. Hence sharing publicly. @Google @MadeByGoogle @sundarpichai

  HE FIRED HIMSELF FROM THE BORING HALF OF HIS JOB Cost: one Mac mini. Already sitting there, doing nothing. He didn't hire anyone. He gave a computer one instruction and walked away. "Every Monday - check the inbox for new leads, pull their company info, draft a personal follow-up, put it on my calendar." That's it. That's the whole ask. The machine took it from there. Split it into steps. Assigned each step to a different model. ʼ Ran the whole thing without touching a single browser tab. Here's the part that actually matters: → Opus writes the email → Gemini does the research → GPT checks it against the CRM → three models, one outcome, zero copy-pasting between them It's not a chatbot answering questions in a window. It's living on the actual machine - opening real apps, editing real spreadsheets, touching real files, the way an employee would. He tested it on the most boring task he had: pull weekly revenue from QuickBooks, build the report, drop it in Slack. Every Monday, 8am, no reminders needed. An hour of work. Down to five minutes. Every single week, forever, without him remembering to do it. Outlook. Gmail. Teams. HubSpot. Whatever's already running - it just plugs in and gets the full picture, not a guess. A real hire for this costs a salary, a ramp-up, a desk. This cost a machine that was already collecting dust. Most people are still asking AI questions in a chat box. He gave it a job.

  I'm 15. My startup has 23 paying users and $460 MRR after 1 month, but I'm gonna kill everything and start from zero. Problem is: 99% of people who see it and try it, don't use it. A lot of eyeballs have been landing on Dirac from organic content, but those people who do try it out, churn way too fast. Not because landing page is bad. Not because product is poorly made. But because of 2 reasons: 1. There's no need for another email agent. The bottleneck has never been the tool. It's the founder who's using it. So there's no way to make a tool to beat that. 2. Emotional cost of switching from Gmail is TOO high.

  Google is changing how Android backups use your Google storage. A lot of people have received an email from Google about an upcoming change to its storage policy. The email is easy to ignore. But if you use an Android phone, this change could eventually affect your Google Account storage. How does it work today? Your Google Account storage is shared across services such as: Google Drive Gmail Google Photos And certain other Google services Your Android phone also creates backups of important information, including things like: SMS messages Call history Device settings App settings Other backed-up device data According to the email, photos, videos and MMS data already count toward your Google storage today. However, some of the other data included in your Android device backup currently does not count toward your storage limit in the same way. What changes in 45 days? Google says that all data included in your Android device backup will begin counting toward your Google Account storage limit. That means your storage usage may increase. For example, imagine you currently have: Google Photos: 10 GB Gmail: 2 GB Google Drive: 3 GB Android device backup: 4 GB Your current usage may be approximately: 15 GB After the policy change, the additional backup data could also be counted, potentially taking your usage to: 19 GB or more. If that pushes you beyond your available storage limit, your automatic backups may eventually pause until you: Free up storage; or Buy additional storage. This is important because many people don't actively monitor their Google storage. They simply assume that because their phone is backing up automatically, everything is fine. But automatic backups can quietly accumulate over time. What can you do if you cannot afford to buy additional storage? You don't necessarily have to immediately pay for more space. You can first reduce the amount of storage you are using. Step 1: Check what is actually using your storage Before deleting anything, find out what is consuming the most space. Go to your Google Account storage management page and check the breakdown. You may discover that the problem is not your Android backup. It could be: Thousands of large videos in Google Photos Large files in Google Drive Gmail attachments Old emails Multiple device backups Deleted files that have not been permanently removed Do not start deleting randomly. First identify the biggest storage users. Step 2: Clean up Google Photos For many people, Google Photos is the biggest storage consumer. Start with videos. Videos generally consume much more space than photographs. Look for: Long videos Duplicate videos Screen recordings WhatsApp videos Old forwarded videos Blurry or accidental recordings Videos you downloaded but no longer need A simple rule: If you have not watched it, used it or thought about it in the last two years, ask yourself whether you really need to keep it in your Google Account forever. You can also download important photos and videos to an external hard drive or another secure storage location before deleting them from Google Photos. Important: Make sure you understand how Google Photos deletion and device synchronization work before deleting anything you want to keep. Step 3: Clean up Google Drive Go through your Google Drive and sort files by size. Look for: Old videos Large presentations Duplicate documents Old ZIP files Installation files Old backups Files shared with you that you no longer need Large files are the quickest way to recover storage. Deleting 1,000 small documents may save less space than deleting one large video file. Step 4: Clean up Gmail Your Gmail account may contain years of emails with large attachments. Search for large emails using Gmail's search function. For example: larger:10M This helps you find emails larger than 10 MB. You can also search for: has:attachment Then review old emails containing large files. Delete: Old newsletters Promotional emails Spam Emails with unnecessary attachments Old notifications After deleting them, empty the Trash and Spam folders. Otherwise, the storage may not be immediately released. Step 5: Review old Android backups Many people have changed phones several times. Your Google Account may still contain backups from: Your current phone Your previous phone A phone you sold years ago A device you no longer own Check whether old device backups are still stored. If you no longer use a particular device, you may be able to delete its backup. But be careful: Never delete the backup of your current phone unless you understand exactly what you are doing. If your phone is lost, stolen or damaged, that backup could be what allows you to restore important information. Step 6: Reduce future backup growth Cleaning your storage today is only half the solution. You should also reduce how quickly your storage grows. Look at your phone and ask: Do I really need every photo backed up at maximum quality? Do I need every video automatically backed up? Are WhatsApp media files being backed up multiple times? Am I keeping unnecessary screenshots forever? Do I have multiple apps creating large backups? Do I need every old message and file stored indefinitely? The objective is not necessarily to stop backing up. The objective is to stop backing up things you do not actually need. A practical 30 minute storage cleanup plan If you are worried about running out of space, do this: First 5 minutes: Check your Google storage breakdown. Find the biggest category. Next 10 minutes: Delete large unnecessary videos and files. Next 5 minutes: Search Gmail for large attachments. Next 5 minutes: Review old device backups. Final 5 minutes: Empty your Trash and Spam folders. You may be surprised by how much space you can recover without spending money. The bigger lesson Cloud storage is convenient. But "automatic" does not mean "free forever." Every time you take a photo, receive an attachment, download a video or create a device backup, you are potentially adding to your digital storage footprint. The smart approach is: Back up what matters. Delete what doesn't. Review your storage periodically. Don't wait until your account is full before taking action. And before you delete anything important, make sure you have another copy somewhere safe. Your phone may be full of memories. But not every file deserves permanent residence in the cloud.
