Mbiarrambang Alain Cosmas Mbeng (@Mbengchan) reportedI have been unable to download files from Google Docs for the past 24 hours using the HomeBox (which disrupt connectivity at will). I can't use Antigravity or download attachments from Gmail or access some websites because I keep getting timeout errors - had to get a VPN.

Ally Mac (@allymac81) reportedReceipt and expense categorization service for small businesses. Full play. n8n monitors a shared Gmail inbox. When a receipt arrives as an attachment, Claude Sonnet Vision extracts the vendor, amount, date, and line items. n8n writes the structured data to a Google Sheet formatted for QuickBooks import. API cost per receipt is about $0.04. A client with 150 receipts a month costs $6 in Claude API. n8n Cloud runs $24/month for the whole service. Charge $199/mo per client. Ten clients is $1,990/mo in revenue against $84/mo in tool costs. The alternative for these business owners is doing it manually at 2-3 hours a month or paying a bookkeeper $75-100/hour. They already know the pain. You are selling them the fix. Build time is 6-8 hours. The hardest part is handling edge cases like receipts as image attachments vs PDFs, multi-page invoices, and international vendors with non-standard formats. Start with restaurant owners. High receipt volume, thin margins, no time for manual bookkeeping.

supersex (@polk4a) reported@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube Hi, I still need help. When I talk to the assistant, he asks for a channel ID and a public username. I don’t have any access to the channel. I can’t even log in to my account from gmail. He doesn’t send sms. He says you tried too hard. We need to solve this problem

Creao AI (@CreaoAI) reported-9% to -35% ROI is the infrastructure spend number, not the application layer number. The internet went through the same math: massive negative ROI on the fiber and server build-out, and then Gmail, AWS, and Shopify showed up on top of it. The framing "incredible technology does not automatically mean sustainable economics" is accurate. What it's missing: the economics usually show up one layer above where the capex is concentrated.

AI Highlight (@AIHighlight) reported6/ This is not hypothetical. In January, a researcher found 149 million login credentials sitting in an exposed database. 48 million were Gmail accounts. Slack, Zoom, Notion, and Trello have all been breached. The data they collect does not stay safe.

Legrand Rico 🐊 (@crico41) reportedGood night @TheARCTERMINAL 🟧 Every major privacy scandal in tech history started the same way. “We’d never look.” Facebook “we’d never sell your data.” → Cambridge Analytica. Google “we’d never read your emails.” → Gmail ad targeting. OpenAI “we’d never share your prompts.” → Facebook Pixel embedded inside ChatGPT. The pattern never changes. Because “we’d never look” is a human promise. And humans change. Get acquired. Face regulators. Need revenue. @TheARCTERMINAL didn’t make a promise. They made the promise architecturally impossible. Server cannot read what it serves. No access path. No trust required. No way to break a promise that was never made. This is what private AI actually means. Not a policy. Not a toggle. Not a person deciding not to look. Architecture that makes looking impossible. When did “we’d never look” stop being enough for you? 👇

Mr Izrael 👑 (@Mr_Izrael) reportedHAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES WITH NEW GMAIL ACCOUNTS YOU’VE CREATED RECENTLY? Google is quietly testing a smaller storage limit for new Gmail accounts by trialing a 5GB storage cap for new sign-ups, down from the usual 15GB. To unlock the full 15GB, new users are required to add a phone number to their account. This change is only affecting new accounts in select regions (mostly reported in parts of Africa so far). Existing Gmail accounts remain unaffected and will continue to have the standard 15 GB storage limit. Why is Google doing this? There are two main reasons behind this move: 1. Security & Account Recovery Google wants more users to add phone numbers for better account protection and easier recovery. This has been a long-standing push, and tying storage to phone verification is a clever way to incentivize it. 2. Reducing Storage Abuse Many people create multiple Gmail accounts primarily to get more free cloud storage. By lowering the default storage for unverified accounts, Google is making it less attractive to create throwaway accounts just for storage. This move reflects a broader trend across big tech, free tiers are gradually getting tighter. Google (like many other platforms) is finding ways to: 1. Collect more user data (phone numbers) 2. Reduce abuse of free services Push users toward paid storage (Google One) over time While existing users are safe for now, this test suggests that Google may continue exploring ways to make the free experience slightly less generous for new users. So, for most of you who already have a Gmail account, you’re fine. Your 15GB isn’t going anywhere. If you’re creating new accounts, you may only get 5GB unless you verify with a phone number. This is currently a test, but if successful, it could roll out more widely. Big tech companies are slowly reshaping what “free” actually means. Storage, reach, and features that were once freely available are increasingly being used as leverage to collect more data or drive users toward paid plans.

Awais Khan (@Speedman2016) reported@akifjustonline @MeFaheem One more thing about which I am skeptical is the issue of privacy and security in govt digitisation.. @akifjustonline how much secure r these apps? Also, why govt deptt and officials r using yahoo, Gmail etc rather than kp gov based emails? I mean it makes us very unprofessional

Greg (@gkamstra) reported@seandsweeney @stalmico I will say, I was getting frustrated with Claude recently (I’m 100% convinced they are skimping on compute vs a few months ago). But this wknd I had a major problem with a custom email domain (some integration issue between Gmail for business and squarespace). And I just told Claude, I don’t want to hear about why, don’t say anything, let me just sign you in to both sites and you fix it all. And you know what - worked perfectly. Took it like 30 minutes and a bunch of attempts but it just solved the entire thing and I never had to learn anything about why it happened or what went wrong. Pretty magical!

As a researcher, I need to be on it most of the time, but am forced to disconnect COC for it. There's no problem with Gmail, though. Am I doing something wrong?
