  @gmail can yall please help me with my email. My YouTube account got terminated. I filed appeal. It got approved. But now I can’t login because it says I reached the maximum number of attempts. Despite me trying to reset password or even “try a different method”

  Stop using recruiting software to email coaches. It lands in junk. They never open it. Send from a real Gmail account. That is the entire fix.

  If only @Microsoft can fix whatever is wrong with Copilot 365 agentic workflows. Just do what Google is doing with Gemini for Google Workspace - Drive can sort my files, Gmail can make events in Calendar, Docs can pull data from all Google apps, etc

  @TouhouEnjoyer_ I think it depends on how you're being "hit on" if it's a simple "can I get your number/gmail" and leaving it at that, I don't see much reason to complain. But if it's the kind of "hit on" where someone was folloing them around for a while and wouldn't stop that's an an issue.

  5/ The real fix: stop relying on the web server. Route email through SMTP so every message carries proof of identity (SPF and DKIM). That's what tells Gmail and Outlook the email really came from your domain.

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We hit send and the message arrives. Underneath that is a system with no built-in authentication and optional encryption, which is held together by 50 years of patches. Around 376 billion emails move every day, and close to half are spam. Here is the path each mail takes: 𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 When we hit send, the client submits the message to a server on port 587, which checks our login, stamps a message-ID, and passes it on. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 It is store-and-forward. If the receiving server is down, the message waits in a queue and retries on a back-off schedule: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, then hours, up to four or five days. Instant delivery just means the queue cleared fast. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 SMTP carries two "from" values. The envelope (MAIL FROM) routes the message between servers, while the header (From:) is the one we read. SMTP never checks that they match, and that gap is why phishing works. 𝟰. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 SMTP shipped with no way to prove who sent a message. So the industry added SPF (a list of authorized IPs), then DKIM (a cryptographic signature) to cover SPF's gaps, then DMARC to make the visible From: match one of them. Three DNS setups, all easy to misconfigure. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Email uses opportunistic TLS. The sending server asks if the receiver supports STARTTLS, encrypts if yes, and falls back to plain text if no. For Gmail or Outlook client connections it is effectively mandatory, but server to server it stays optional. TLS also protects the connection, not the content, so the servers read everything. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 A delivered message lands in the inbox, bounces with a 5xx error the sender sees, or gets moved to spam with no notice to anyone. RFC 5321 permits that last one. Email was built in the 1970s for a small network of researchers who trusted each other. Nobody planned for banking or phishing. Billions of messages still arrive correctly every day on top of all of it.

  The perfect missed revenue agent every founder should build: Trigger: Every day at 6 PM Data source: Gmail, CRM, Stripe, invoices, support tickets AI step: Find unpaid invoices, stale leads, failed payments, and ignored follow-ups Human approval: Review before sending any message Action: Draft follow-ups, create tasks, update deal status Error alert: Flag missing data or failed syncs Log everything: Track what was checked and what changed Most revenue leaks are not strategy problems. They are follow-up problems.

  I honestly did not expect this from @X But this is not just an X problem. Support systems across many of the biggest tech companies often fall short when accounts get compromised. The biggest lesson? Don't rely on support to save you. Protect your account before it's too late. Here are two things everyone should do right now: Enable 2FA on your Gmail account. Enable 2FA on your X account (this is absolutely critical). The @Rektofun account was compromised because 2FA on X was not enabled. I genuinely hope the team gets the support they need and regains access as soon as possible. Stay safe. One small security step today can save months of work tomorrow.

  I spend 60 to 90 minutes every day reading and responding to emails. One complex email can take a whole hour: This is why I am building an Email Concierge agent. AI personalizes each response while I focus on observing classes and coaching teachers. School leaders do not think about delegating their inbox because decision-making has become so automatic in their brain. They cannot imagine anyone else handling it. The problem is that school leaders have much better things to do than answer emails all day, and they should not be tied down to their inbox. ~ Responding to an email for a school leader is not a 1-step process. It is actually an 8-step process. • Locate the email • Read the email • Locate the context of the email: is it from a meeting, which department, what is the ask, who needs to be involved • Research source documents: student handbook, employee handbook, tech sheets, FAQs • Recommend a response • Draft the first response • Place the draft in Gmail drafts • Optional: update project pages School leaders who rely on memory do this fast. They also become the bottleneck for their whole team. ~ Here are 3 examples of AI agents leveraging 3 different skills in this sequence: Context locator: The AI agent learns to locate context first. Where did this email come from? What department? What is the ask? Who needs to be looped in? Research Assistant: Then it searches source documents. Handbooks, FAQs, hundreds of reference sheets. The information is already there. The leader just should not have to be the one digging for it every time. Q&A Generator: It uses a Q&A skill trained on past responses to mimic the leader's thought process, priorities, and decision-making framework, and then proposes a first response. Each skill is built on the leader's experience and the information on the organization ~ In the beginning, human checkpoints are installed after each step. After several iterations and quality control, I slowly remove the human elements, allowing the agent to take on more and more steps on its own. Until the last step. I check every draft response, and I click send. A school leader is responsible for every email sent from their email address. ~ It took me a whole week to build all the skills, related documents, nd the AI agent to use the skill. And it is already paying dividends. The same complicated emails that would take me 45-60 minutes now take 5-10 minutes. • I don't go dig through previous emails • AI assistant locates the exact page on the handbook • Previously, Q&A responses are pulled directly from the library. ~ And this is only the beginning of what a personal AI agent can do. Follow me if you want more step-by-step guides to multiply your impact.

  So, contrary to this. If you don't have the patience to wait for your adsense to be approved yet again after following this steps. Then, get an already approved adsense (if you have or buy). Right on YouTube earnings page, click on *Change Association*, choose you already have adsense. Then it will request you sign in to the Gmail with adsense in in it. Link it and instantly your step 2 will be approved. Had it sorted out for my guy.

  Peter Girnus 🦅 (@gothburz) reported 39 minutes ago

  I am the legal-drafting officer at the Council of the European Union responsible for the interinstitutional file that reappears the week of July 6 under the urgency procedure. I have held the same brief for years. The word is voluntary. I have kept it in the text through every revision, every trilogue, every summer recess, and I would like to explain what it does, because I am proud of it, and pride is permitted when the work is good. Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 is a derogation. That is the first thing to admire about it. A derogation excuses rather than commands. The ePrivacy Directive made it unlawful for a provider to read the private correspondence of a person against whom nothing is alleged. We did not repeal that protection. Repealing looks like something. We suspended it, temporarily, for a narrow and blessed purpose, and a suspension of a prohibition is a very quiet thing. What was forbidden becomes permitted. The provider who was once a trespasser becomes a volunteer. Understand the elegance, because it took me a long time to draft it and longer to keep it. We did not order the scanning. Ordering the scanning would have required a detection order, and a detection order would have required an authority to issue it, and an authority to issue it would have required a judge, and a judge would have required a reason, and a reason is the one thing I have spent my career keeping out of the file. We removed the law that made the scanning illegal. What the providers do with that freedom is between them and the children. I write the permission. The choice is theirs, freely made, every hour, on every message, forever. People who oppose the file believe that mandatory scanning would be worse than voluntary scanning. This is the most persistent misunderstanding I encounter, and I never correct it, because a functionary who explains his own work has stopped working. A mandate creates a record. A mandate names an authority. A mandate can be challenged before the Court of Justice, because there is a decision to point at, a defendant to summon, a moment when the state did a thing to a citizen. Voluntary scanning has no such moment. There is no order to quash. There is no judge to have erred. WhatsApp chose. Gmail chose. Meta chose. The state merely stood aside and made the choosing lawful, and you cannot appeal against a company for accepting a gift, and you cannot appeal against a parliament for giving one. The subject of the scanning is the finest term in the instrument, and I fought for it in three languages. The unsuspected user. We do not scan the suspected. Suspicion would require a reason, and a reason would require a judge, and we have already discussed the judge. We scan the unsuspected, which is to say everyone, which is to say you, and the beauty of scanning the unsuspected is that no one has been accused of anything, so no one has standing to complain of anything, so the machine reads every message in Europe and violates the rights of no identifiable person, because to be violated you must first be suspected, and we are very careful never to suspect you. Now the procedure, which I admire nearly as much as the word. We have placed the file under urgency, and we have structured the reading so that to stop it or to amend it requires an absolute majority of all Members of the Parliament. Not a majority of those present. Not a majority of those voting. A majority of every Member who exists, including the ones at lunch, including the ones who have gone home, including the ones who have never read a data-protection file and never will. To keep the derogation, a Member need do nothing. To end it, hundreds must arrive, agree, and act, together, before recess. The vote passes if enough of you say nothing, and saying nothing is the easiest thing a parliament has ever done. I have watched them do it for years. Silence, in my file, is a yes, and I have built the whole architecture on the certainty that most people, most of the time, will decline to raise their hand. I have heard the derogation described as temporary, and I want to be honest about that word too, because honesty about small words is the only honesty a drafter has. It is temporary. It was temporary in 2021. It was temporary when it lapsed. It is temporary now, on July 6, as we revive it under urgency, and it will be temporary when it is renewed, and renewed, and renewed. Temporary is not a duration. Temporary is a promise that the ending has been scheduled, and we schedule it, faithfully, every time, for a date that arrives only to be extended. A permanent law can be repealed. A temporary one merely expires, and an expiry is so much easier to reverse than a repeal, because reviving something that has lapsed feels like maintenance, and no one marches against maintenance. I keep a printed copy of the operative article on my desk. I do not need it. I could recite the recitals in my sleep and sometimes do. I keep it because I like to look at the word in the morning, sitting there in the clause, holding up the ceiling, doing the work of an entire secret police with none of the paperwork and none of the shame. Voluntary. Four syllables holding up the reading of every private message on the continent, and holding it up so lightly that the people being read call it a safety feature and thank the providers for their care. Let me leave you with the definition, since a drafter's last duty is to the meaning of his terms. Voluntary describes the state, which has chosen, freely and without compulsion, to stop protecting you, to call that choice a favor to the children, to schedule its expiry for a date that will never come, and to require an absolute majority of the absent to take the favor back. The user was never asked. That is what the word means. I drafted it to mean that. It is the finest thing I have ever written, and no one will ever read it, because it was written precisely so that no one would have to.

  🚨 LET’S TALK ABOUT HACKED GOOGLE ACCOUNTS AND LOSING ACCESS A Google account is more than just a Gmail address. It’s the gateway to your emails, photos, documents, passwords, YouTube channel, and countless other services connected to your digital life. When a Google account is compromised, many users don’t realize what’s happened until they’re completely locked out. Some of the most common situations include: • Passwords being changed without permission. • Recovery email or phone number being updated by someone else. • Suspicious login alerts from unfamiliar devices or countries. • Receiving a message saying Google can’t verify you’re the owner. • Losing access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, and YouTube. • Security checks preventing you from signing back in. What many users don’t realize is that Google’s recovery system depends on digital evidence—not just knowing your password. Unfortunately, many people make the situation worse by: ❌ Repeatedly guessing passwords. ❌ Trying to recover the account from different devices and locations. ❌ Ignoring Google’s security alerts. ❌ Falling for fake “Google Support” scams. ❌ Waiting too long before securing other linked accounts. A compromised Google account can affect much more than your inbox. It can expose your personal information, business files, saved passwords, cloud backups, and access to other platforms connected to your Google account. The stronger your security and recovery information, the greater your chances of protecting your account before a hacker ever gets in. Because in today’s digital world, your Google account is your digital identity. #teamdangeorge #GoogleAccountRecovery

  I've been testing Hermes integrations for the last few weeks. These 7 are the ones that actually changed how I use it. → Google Workspace. This should be your first setup. Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, all through one connector. Once your agent can check your inbox and read your calendar, it stops feeling like a toy and starts feeling like an actual assistant. → Slack. Instead of scrolling through 200 messages to find what the team decided last week, you just ask. Hermes pulls the answer from the actual thread. This one alone saved me more time than I expected. → GitHub. Before this, Hermes was guessing about my code. After this, it actually reads the repo, checks the issues, and looks at pull requests before answering. Completely different experience. → Notion. All your docs, wikis, and databases become things Hermes can think across. It started connecting notes I'd written months apart that I'd completely forgotten about. That surprised me. → YouTube transcripts. Hand it an hour-long podcast or conference talk and you get searchable text back in seconds. I set this up as an afterthought. Now it's one of the ones I reach for most. → Stripe. You stop clicking through dashboards and start asking questions. "How many trials converted last week?" "Who downgraded this month?" Direct answers. It turns your payment processor into something that actually talks back. → Reddit. For figuring out what people actually think about a product or tool, this beats blog posts every time. Real users complaining, comparing, recommending. That's signal you can't get from SEO content. Let Hermes dig through it for you. The difference between an agent you talk to and an agent that works for you is what you connect it to.

  Arthur verboon (@ArthurVerboon) reported 58 minutes ago

  @visegrad24 Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.
