Jose Velez (@J_dev363) reported@nandoprince93 The problem is that while the integration is good the app itself is not that good. I’ve tried using Apple Maps and I always get a wrong direction. I try using Apple Music but the recommendations are not that good. I use Apple mail because I prefer it over Gmail but even that, the ui is weird

Ardemis (@ArdemisKaerie) reported@TeamYouTube hello! Recently, I got an google account that got locked and the normal recovery routes don't work. I've tried to log in with 6 devices and waited a week. I do get mails about the login attemps, as this google account isn't an gmail adres. What else can I do?

A Pale Blue Dot (@yagyaansh) reported@andrewmccalip @stripe Bro there's a serious bug. I try to sign in, it shows the dashboard for a sec and then reloads back to the sign in page. Can you please fix this? Also, the sign in redirect from the IDE open up Google OAuth page directly. I use a non Gmail account. Please help!

Asher Crowe 🪺 (@ashercrw) reportedCODY BUILT A SCRIPT THAT DM'D ONE MILLION MILLIONAIRES ON INSTAGRAM ASKING FOR $1 EACH. The result: $33,000 in his account, 705 angry refusals, and a real-time map of how broken the global rich actually are. This is one of the most chaotic AI use cases I've seen all year and I need to walk you through every layer because it's a masterclass in what's coming. The premise is dumb on purpose. There are roughly 60 million millionaires on earth. Most of them don't have their contact info online. Cody couldn't reach all of them. He could reach a million. He figured even a 1% conversion rate would clear five figures, so the math was already winning before he hit send. The execution is where it gets genuinely insane. He didn't sit there manually typing DMs for six months. He connected ChatGPT to Composio, a service that gives language models direct access to over a thousand apps including Instagram. Then he just asked the model to send the DMs for him. One prompt, one workflow, a million messages. Think about that for a second. He outsourced the labor of contacting one million human beings to a single afternoon of agent work. The marginal cost per DM was somewhere between zero and a fraction of a cent. The whole thing probably cost less than a steak dinner to operate end to end. Now the data. 689,000 millionaires didn't even open the message. They saw the request notification and swiped it away like he was a stranger asking for directions. Roughly 70% of the global wealthy class is genuinely not interested in opening a DM from someone they don't know, which is honestly fair. 247,000 opened it and ghosted. Read receipt, no reply. The internet equivalent of looking at a beggar through your car window and pretending you didn't. 67,000 actually replied. That's a 6.7% reply rate on cold DMs at million-scale volume, which is a number that should make every cold outreach SaaS founder reading this curl into a ball. Real humans with real money were responding to a complete stranger asking for a single dollar. Of those 67,000 replies: 705 refused outright. These are the angry ones. The "how dare you" responses. The "I worked hard for my money" lectures from people who almost certainly inherited theirs. Imagine being worth seven figures and still having the energy to write a paragraph explaining why a stranger doesn't deserve $1. 33,000 asked questions but never paid. The skeptics. Why are you doing this? What's the catch? Are you a scammer? Where did you find me? Many of these probably could have been closed with a better follow-up prompt, but Cody didn't optimize, and that's fine. 33,000 actually sent the money. Some sent more than $1. He doesn't say how much more, but if even a handful of them dropped $20 or $50 out of curiosity or amusement, the actual total is meaningfully higher than the headline. Final tally: roughly $33,000 from a project that took one prompt to launch. Now here is where it gets philosophically heavy. The technology that made this possible is six months old at scale. Composio, the agent integration layer, exists specifically to let language models take actions inside other apps. Instagram, Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Salesforce, the whole stack. You write one prompt. The agent does the work. The interface between human intent and automated execution just collapsed to the width of a chat box. Every cold outreach playbook ever written is now executable by anyone with a credit card and an OpenAI key. Sales prospecting. Influencer outreach. Brand deals. Affiliate recruitment. Customer acquisition. Investor pitching. All of it, scaled to a million touches in an afternoon. And the platforms can't stop it. Instagram's anti-spam systems were built to catch humans doing repetitive things at human speed. They are not built to catch a language model that varies every single message, sends from a rotating set of accounts, paces itself like a person, and adapts in real time based on which messages got replies.

Abhishek Mehta | AMFI REG (@imAbhishek9596) reportedExactly. Banning Telegram while WhatsApp, Gmail & Signal run freely is like banning one road after an accident but keeping all others open. The real fix? Secure the exams with better tech, strict invigilation & fast policing of leaks — not killing one messenger. Selective bans only breed distrust, not solutions.

Zaid Bead (@zaidbead7) reported@julianfaceless Quick question: For a new YouTube channel and new Gmail, is it better to create and manage everything through the proxy from day one, or create it normally and use the proxy later? Trying to avoid AdSense linking issues.

Sam (@King_Samus) reported@grok @johannesmkx @grok so I could just use Brave to access X or Gmail for example? Won't X have to lock things down with verification? Sounds like a mess.
-
Whyte Abraham Tech (@whyteabraham) reported@Gmail_team I cannot login to my gmail address because you keep bringing up a phone number that I no longer use. The gmail has backup email attached to it and is on my iphone before you logged me out this evening. Why don't you use the other means of verification? Why just phone

Base.Tube (@base_tube) reportedThe worst part isn’t the spam. It’s the $5k deal sitting in the same inbox as a crypto scam and a $50 “collab.” A public Gmail turns your business into a junk drawer. The fix isn’t more hustle. It’s a front door that filters, qualifies, and protects the good stuff.

Katyayani Shukla (@aibytekat) reportedTHE TRASH TRAP (THE FIX) How to fix it: You need to manually force Google to take out the garbage across all three of its main platforms. Go to Gmail. Click "Trash" on the left sidebar. Click "Empty Trash Now." Go to Google Drive. Click "Trash" on the left. Click "Empty Trash." Go to Google Photos. Click "Library" then "Trash." Click "Empty Trash." She followed these exact steps and freed up 2.4GB in exactly 90 seconds. Google will never remind you to do this. They want you stuck at the limit so you buy more space.

Thanh Pham (@runsonai) reportedJust did this live. I'm heading out for the weekend but I have a client meeting Monday. There was one open thread: a vendor needed to confirm whether an automated email workflow we recently fixed was actually delivering. Until she replied, I couldn't fully close the loop. The old way? Check my inbox tonight. Check again tomorrow. Check again Monday morning. Scramble before the meeting if something's wrong. Instead, I told claude: "Check my gmail every 8 hours. If she reports an issue, fix the workflow and reply confirming it's resolved. If she says it's working, let her know we're set for Monday. Otherwise, just log the update." Now there's a loop running in my terminal. Every 8 hours it checks my inbox and decides what to do next. If there's a problem, it fixes it. If everything's working, it sends the appropriate reply in my voice. Either way, it logs every action so I have a clean summary when I'm back. I'd never build a workflow for a one-off weekend handoff. It's too small and too specific. But that's the sweet spot for loops. Monitor a condition. Check on a schedule. Take the next action. Sometimes that action is simply replying. Sometimes it's actually fixing the problem. I left for the weekend. The work didn't stop.

Ike Hirsch (@ikenoelhirsch) reportedMost cold emails fail because people let AI write them. Here's why that's backwards. ChatGPT, Claude, and every other model trained on internet data. They scraped Google's top 100 results for "cold email copywriting." Those results weren't written by people who close deals. They were written by SEO copywriters who know how to rank, not convert. So when you ask AI to write your cold email, you're asking a model trained on bad data to do your job. AI is a researcher, not a writer. Use it to pull context. Use it to normalize data. Don't use it to write your pitch. Here's the framework that actually converts: Your prospect reads your email and asks three questions in this order. 1. Is this person going to screw me? Trust signals happen outside the email. Your domain matters. Gmail addresses don't convert. Yahoo addresses definitely don't convert. Your website needs to look like it was built this decade. Your LinkedIn profile needs to exist. If those aren't in place, your copy can't save you. 2. Is this offer for me or for everyone? Segment your lists. If you offer Google Ads to plumbers and cold email to SaaS companies, those are two campaigns with two different scripts. Specificity converts. "I help everyone" converts nobody. Personalization goes here. Name their exact pain. Reference their product by model number if you can. Make it impossible for them to think this email went to 10,000 other people. 3. Do I believe this can help me make money? Your offer matters more than your copy. A great offer with average copy will outperform average offer with great copy every time. If your pitch is "pay me $10,000 upfront and maybe you'll see results in 3 months," no amount of personalization will fix that. Reframe it. Remove risk. Make the first step smaller. Then write the email long enough to answer every objection before they ask it. Short emails get more replies. Long emails get better replies. The goal isn't response rate. The goal is "how do I get started?" replies, not "send me your pricing" replies. Every email between the cold pitch and the booked call is another chance for them to go cold. Answer their objections up front so the only logical next step is a meeting. AI fits in at the research layer. Use it to scrape their website and write one hyper-specific sentence about what they do. Use it to pull product names or case studies. Use it to normalize messy data into clean fields you can inject into your email. But the structure, the offer, the psychology, that's on you. Cold email converts when you stop asking AI to do your thinking and start using it to handle the tedious **** that makes personalization scalable. What's the weakest part of your cold email right now?

Juan Hernández (@jushernandezor) reported@nandoprince93 In addition to loose push notifications in Gmail, I’ve been noticing issues with notifications in general (also in iCloud account) frustrating! Also Mail App doesn’t support “send later” email from server side, so, your iPhone or Mac need an internet connection to send mails

Aryan Raj (@aryanrajseo) reported@niteen_india @gmail @Zoho Zoho mail is bloated. keep showing new announcement at top every day. It is very slow. It cost less, i would say most affordable. Fastmail is far better.

𝘋𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘴 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘺𝘢🇮🇳 (@ddbhaiya) reported@AiWithMehreen Not just Gmail, others too are doing this sort of scanning & it's not a new or recently started activity. Then why to single out Gmail alone? In tech era, privacy is limited to "off the internet", moment any data, doc etc are exposed to internet... then forget the privacy. Ironically @Google do not have a good name in privacy protection of the users. All of it's apps' various features are good enough for an intruder to step in without actually doing any illegal activity like hacking etc. Just a small negligence or a mistake or a lapse and the intruder will win the access to your systems. Go on changing the login criteria, but access will remain... Perhaps Google is doing it intensely?? Hope @sundarpichai will take it seriously.

CryptoD₿S (@DbsCrypto) reportedSupport isn’t slow. The workflow is. 12 minutes to answer a ticket because the truth is split across Gmail, HubSpot, Zendesk, Stripe, and Slack. 2 minutes solving. 10 minutes proving who the customer is, what they bought, and who needs to know. That’s not service. That’s tab-switching tax.
-
Joel Yek 🇲🇾 (@joevo2) reported@shawshank_r @nandoprince93 This happens because Gmail on Apple Mail app works on Fetch rather than push. AFAIK Gmail disabled the push functionality for other mail client. So Apple Mail app can only fetch from the server at a set interval.

Tymofii Antonenko (@tymofii) reported@dev_mario They weren't joking. You literally create a test Gmail, set it up, and provide those creds in the login details field. It's the only way for Google sign-in only apps.

JustAPlayer37 (@JustAPlayer37) reported@SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

The Schozz (@MisterSchozz) reported@ZubyMusic @Miss_Snuffy Because kids can sneak off and create an email address at gmail in 1 minute then create a social media account. “Well why not control their devices? You’re the parent!” I do. And to lock everything down means other apps you do want to work don’t work. It’s bullshit and painful.
