  @ProtonSupport Will any emails to Proton email accounts or Gmail email accounts linked in the app that were sent during the outage eventually come through?

  @specialkdelslay I'm not quite sure what GCP defines as a vCPU, but I DO know how a vCPU in EC2 is defined and I would almost certainly bet they're either identically defined or very similar. It's probable that a "vCPU" is a hyperthread (or in non-intel parlance, an SMT thread, or just a thread). I would highly suspect D.O. oversubscribes their customers (probably not to 2 or 3x physical threads), but probably 1.5x. This is an educated guess, but without seeing how they define it, and knowing EXACTLY how EC2 does it, the way you get "faster" vCPUs is a very small number of ways: 1. dedicate a single hyperthread per customer and only over-subscribe the micro-series instance types (t-series in EC2). These dedicated hyperthreads are on the same physical core on a "medium" instance type, so you get one dedicated pCPU with 2 vCPUs. 2. newer hardware with high clock speeds. even though D.O. may be using the same generation CPU, they are likely not getting custom SKUs, like google, amazon, and microsoft all get. seriously, go look up the sku for any CPU in any of AWSs EC2 servers (you can see it with a /proc/cpuinfo)...then go look up the SKU...it doesn't exist on Intel's website. Custom higher-clockrate SKUs SPECIFICALLY for cloud vendors that they do EXTENSIVE testing on and get the premium binned silicon wafers (they buy and reserve their own wafers). Technically, newer hardware and higher clock speeds/custom skus is two separate ones, but they're more or less the same. The point is, there's basically two ways to boost vCPU performance. One is improving hardware, the other is the way you load down the hypervisor (also, it depends on whether or not they're isolating the hypervisor resources or not or if they're shared by a customer). Also, the perceived performance gap could be that they have bad luck on where they've landed and they're getting either a noisy neighbor and/or they're sharing infra with the VMM, which needs dedicated resources in Xen. In KVM, it doesn't need dedicated resources, but will still consume some resources and may cause performance hits depending on where the VMM task(s) run(s). As for what google is doing, yeah, looks like they're juicing their cloud customer numbers. I haven't used GCP in over 10 years, but I'm certainly still counted as a user, because it was tied to my personal gmail when I started my account. Also, youtube creators have to go into the google cloud console to set certain settings for API search and request limits. I suspect they're counting those users as well.

  @mdreinders @bdsams It's pretty garbage for work account use cases as well, at least in my case. It nags you daily with summaries, which are basically just prompts that you could have used yourself from the left sidebar or ribbon menu. Copilot in Outlook is really horrible (overall). It can't find emails. It can't make basic changes to the emails I've written. It simply doesn't follow my instructions most of the time. "Can you just fix grammar" > proceeds to rewrite the entire email. Gemini in Gmail is also pretty trash. I do not understand how AI in email can be so bad, as it's a pretty good use case for AI, imho

  I once posted the SAME video on 2 freshly created 0-sub channels. Channel 1: 87 impressions Channel 2: 52,330 impressions Only variable: the infrastructure behind it. Here’s what that tells us about YouTube’s algorithm: Your channel carries a score that no one will EVER show you. Think of it like credit at a bank, nobody cares if you pull up in a nice suit and a Richard Mille. They pull your history and decide how much they're willing to lend you. YouTube does the same. A trusted account gets its video in front of a REAL test audience, and if it performs YouTube scales distribution hard. If the account is not trusted, it won’t get shown to anyone, meaning nobody clicks. And when nobody clicks, the algorithm just confirms what it already suspected and moves on. Now here’s what actually feeds that score: → IP reputation and history → Fingerprint consistency across sessions → How the account behaved in week one → Upload velocity → Retention and CTR over time → Whether your engagement looks bought → How long you've stayed in one niche It’s reasonable that people obsess over the bottom half… those are the numbers YouTube Studio shows them. The top half are as important though, yet they’re invisible to the untrained eye So here’s how to spot if your infrastructure sucks: Open your channel's setup and look for anything shared. → Same IP as another channel? → Same browser profile? → Same recovery email? → Same phone number? → Same AdSense? Any of those and the channel isn't isolated. People overcomplicate this but it's simple. YouTube is trying to figure out one thing: "Is this a real separate person, or 1 guy spinning a bunch of accounts?" If your setup looks like one guy wearing 10 masks, you're cooked. A proper setup looks like this: Channel 1 → Profile 1 → IP 1 Channel 2 → Profile 2 → IP 2 Channel 3 → Profile 3 → IP 3 Each channel on its own dedicated residential IP. Not a proxy or a cheap VPN you can find anywhere. That's the whole reason I built @tubeproxies. Every IP is sourced through residential Internet Service Provider networks for one use case only: Faceless YouTube channels. Because nothing is as demanding as YouTube when it comes to IP quality. Then each channel must get its own: → phone number → recovery email → browser fingerprint → login history → normal usage pattern Next you must act normal across all of them: Don't log into Channel 1 from Profile 2 because you were lazy. Don't open your personal Gmail in the same profile. Don't check an old banned channel from the clean browser. Don't use the same SMS number across the portfolio and call it separated. This is how people poison clean channels without realizing it. They buy a good IP, then attach it to a browser that already has ***** history. They make a new Gmail, then add the same recovery email they used on 6 other channels. They get a new phone number, then log in from the same Chrome they used for a terminated account. Then they: → Post for 30 days → Get 0 impressions → Blame content/algo Could be the content. Could even be the algo. But if the infra is messy, YouTube never gave the channel a real test anyway. And if any part of your channel touches another another one such as an old account, a banned account, your personal account, or a reused setup… You must fix it before you upload again. Don't wait until the channel is doing 300k views a day to think about this. That's the worst time to start swapping IPs, emails, phones, browsers and AdSense. Sudden changes look like inauthentic account behavior. Build it clean from day one, then act normal. Browse before uploading. Warm the account up. Don't upload 3 videos in 24h on a fresh channel. Don't log in from Denmark at 9am and Texas at 9:20. Don't make the channel look like a bot farm and then wonder why YouTube treats it like one. The channel with 87 impressions was from a Nigerian IP. The one with 52.3k was a US one.

  @MisterSpace3 Yes if you don’t log in after a certain amount of time to PSN account they class as abandon. It is in ToS when sign up. I had to login recently as they email you to inform that not logged in for so long. Google do the same with Gmail accounts.

  My Gmail accounts have been compromised, and the recovery process is currently underway. Please be careful and do not trust or respond to any emails, messages, videos, posts, links, or other content that may be sent, uploaded, or shared through my accounts including YouTubes, Facebook's and other SMs during this period. Any such content is not under my control and should not be considered authorized or endorsed by me. I will issue an update as soon as I regain full control of my accounts.

  I think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

  @stelzner_n1150 This has to be the stupidest comment ever sorry. 100% of cell phones, smart phones, cable boxes, electric meters, computer usage and email GOES THROUGH DATA centers and always has! Here are the facts: That claim is backwards. The internet and smartphones have always run on data centers (or the same thing under older names: server rooms, colo, hosting farms). What changed is the size, location, and branding — not whether the machines exist. The internet never ran without servers Commercial internet use took off in the early 1990s. From day one it needed: ISP modem banks and backbone routers Web/email/DNS servers Co-location and hosting facilities Those are data centers. Exodus, AboveNet, Equinix, and telco “carrier hotels” were already packing raised-floor rooms with racks in the mid-to-late 1990s. Google’s first big custom plants and Amazon’s early AWS rooms were 2000s expansions of that model, not a new species of building. You could run a static homepage off a PC in a closet. You could not run search, streaming, maps, payments, or “the internet” as people actually used it. Smartphones made the dependence worse, not optional The iPhone shipped in 2007. A phone is a thin client. Almost everything people treat as “the phone” lives off-device: iCloud / Google account sync Maps and traffic App Store / Play Store Gmail, Photos, Drive Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify Siri / Assistant Banking and payments That traffic hits someone’s data center. If those rooms went dark, the glass slab in your pocket would still make calls on a good day and not much else. Twenty years of smartphones is twenty years of more backend compute, not twenty years without it.

  ChatGPT can now read ALL your Gmail accounts at once. Work inbox. Personal inbox. That old one you forgot about. Until this week, it could only see ONE. The rest were locked out. That just changed. And barely anyone noticed. Here's the setup (it's stupidly simple): Go to plugins. Pick Gmail. Click the gear icon. Hit "Connect another account." Sign in. Done. Repeat for as many accounts as you want. Calendar and Contacts work the same way. Now try this one prompt: "Review my emails and give me a summary of the last 3 days." It reads everything. Tells you what matters. Tells you what to handle FIRST. No inbox dread. Just a clean starting point. And the questions that were impossible a week ago: "Find that email from Sarah." Work or personal? Doesn't matter. It checks both. "What do I still owe replies to?" Across every account. One answer. "When am I actually free this week?" Both calendars. The REAL answer. No double-booking. Two smart habits: Start with read-only permissions. Let it summarize first. Open up sending later, once you trust it. And name the inbox you mean. "Work inbox" gets you a clean answer, not a mixed one. The biggest win isn't the summaries. It's never logging out and back in again. Stop checking your inbox. Let your inbox report to you.

  @deboochatterjee @TutaPrivacy My post was not a commentary on whether to turn off smart features in Gmail. It was a commentary on the ridiculous statement that "privacy is overrated. If you don't have anything to hide then you shouldn't worry about it." It's your attitude that "privacy is overrated" that has allowed companies to get as far as they have, and it's that attitude which will allow us to continue to slide down the slippery slope we're on. "Two out of our three doors are unlocked" is not solved by unlocking the third; it's solved by locking the other two.

  @pitdesi Summer of 2004 I built an app that used gmail attachments as cloud file storage, I called it Goggles. I showed it to a few classmates who worked at Google, they told me to shut it down immediately b/c I'll get sued. Keep wondering what've happened if I didn't listen.

  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.

  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.

  @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.
