    I sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :)

    "I'm too late to ecom" was a weak excuse in 2019 and it's embarrassing in 2026. People have been saying the market is saturated for as long as the market has existed. Meanwhile brands launch every month and get to real money inside a year, selling things that already have 40 competitors. Being early was never the advantage anyone thinks it was. "Early" means you're paying to teach a market what your product is, with nobody to copy and no proof that people want it. "Late" means the demand is there, the playbook is public, and your job is to be better at execution than people who got comfortable. Of course, there are cases where you want to be first, but unless you actually know what you're doing... Choose the 2nd one. When I sold a retro console, it wasn't a new idea. Other people were already selling it, and it worked anyway, because most competitors are worse than they look from the outside. Their shipping is slow, their product page oversells, and their support is a Gmail somebody checks on Sundays. + People really liked it, so much so it got the attention of Nintendo and they emailed me to shut it down. Point is, you don't need a category nobody has touched. You need a product people already buy and a business that doesn't fall apart the moment volume shows up. The guys still waiting for the next untapped thing will say the same sentence in 2029. Lmao.

    @AMoser_E @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail If you make a Proton account, and sink Gmail to it. Pick at it. Don't make it a chore. A couple of accounts at a time, or one, or binge it. Whatever. It is possible to degoogle yourself. I degoogled and deMicrosofted myself. I am fully on Linux (Mint), and on Calyx OS for phone. Slow and steady wins the race friend. A sandwich isn't consumed in one bite, but many.

    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.

    @XSupport My friend is unable to access their X account @cuteshivi77. The password is correct, but X keeps showing “Incorrect Password.” We have requested a password reset several times, but the OTP/reset email is not being received on the registered Gmail account. Please look into this issue and help restore access to the account. Kindly fix the password reset/OTP issue as soon as possible. 🙏 #XSupport #AccountRecovery #PasswordReset

    @niekk_o @Killasbut I’m really sorry for the delay. My grandfather passed away and I had to return to China unexpectedly on Aug. 19. I’m currently at the Taiwan airport heading back to the U.S. now. We sold 800+ Magikarps and only about 40 orders are still waiting to ship. I wasn’t able to access X, Gmail, IG, or Shopify properly while in China, so I’m very sorry for the lack of updates. I’ll take care of all remaining orders as soon as I’m back and offer 20% off as an apology. If you’d rather get a refund, I completely understand and will issue it right away. 🙏

    @TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube The issue is the YouTube channel, not simply recovering the Google account. The Workspace account was gone for years while our channel stayed active. Our Gmail was added as Manager in 2025. The channel suddenly vanished with no notice. Can we escalate for review?

    @Zoom Oh! I remember the other problem. The "send a code" button is super slow. Yes, I checked my spam folder. Took several minutes to come through. To a gmail domain. It also produces a captcha error every time you click the button even after you've already clicked the captcha.

    an email inbox that self organizes, saves me time and surfaces what i need quickly – overall easy and pleasant to use, has agents helping to route, respond, and compile context. the UI feels more like a chat app than an inbox. gmail and proton and every other email inbox out there are terrible communication platforms and the UI is functionally retarded. someone please fix this. who’s building?

    @huacnlee Tried your app. Sign-in offers either Google Auth or IMAP. I went with IMAP, then found out Gmail no longer accepts password logins. Tried switching back to Google Auth: impossible. Uninstalled and reinstalled — still stuck on the "Add an IMAP mailbox" screen. Can you fix this?

    Gave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

    One of my top media buyers told me my plan was wrong on Friday. He had the numbers. I was the one who had to change. I'd asked how he wanted to split brand and non-brand across Shopping and Performance Max on a client account. I already had a view. Shopping on brand, PMax on prospecting. Clean. Conventional. What I would have built myself. He came back with something different. Search and Shopping carry brand and non-brand. Demand Gen takes prospecting because Demand Gen lets you choose your placements and PMax doesn't. Then he showed me why. When we pushed PMax harder earlier in the month, the campaign quietly reallocated almost all of its spend into Gmail and the return collapsed. Pull the budget back down and it went straight back to Search. He'd also caught something I hadn't weighted. The branded PMax campaign in the same account is performing fine. So rather than shutting it off, he wanted to step it down gradually and watch whether Shopping absorbs the volume. That's a better plan than mine. Not even close. Here's the part I keep thinking about. He didn't ask permission to disagree. He'd already run the analysis, already built the counter-position, and sent it in a Slack message on a Friday afternoon. That doesn't happen by accident, and it isn't a personality trait. It happens when disagreeing has never cost anyone anything. The version of this that goes wrong is quiet. Someone sees the mix shift, assumes the founder already knows, and executes the worse plan anyway. Nobody argues. The account just underperforms for a quarter and nobody can point to why. I'd rather be corrected on a Friday than be right in a room where nobody talks. This is why hiring the right people is everything.

    @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.

    @joeygems @Stron__ @elenadesaa1999 Your data is cheaper than the infrastructure behind your Gmail account. They can read your emails because it’s their platform; you can set up your own SMTP server or even in fact, you can pay (once again, it’s not free) for an email account with end-to-end encryption.

    An imported automation will not just run, and that is not a broken template. Every one of them needs your own accounts connected before it does anything. Your Gmail, your Notion, your Drive. The workflow is the wiring. It is not the electricity. Most people import one, hit the first credential error, decide the tool is broken, and never open it again. That error is the normal first step. It is the workflow telling you exactly which account it wants.
