Cliff 💻 (@Cliff3Verse) reportedHonestly I have no thoughts on the new Gmail logo because I simply don't care As long as I'm able to send and receive emails without issues I'm cool

Ali ABBAS (@Captain70221006) reportedI already followed the article and troubleshooter you sent, but I still end up with the same issue — it keeps asking for a verification code sent to an email I can’t access. Please help me through DM with another solution.@YouTube @Google @gmail

Miles Feinberg (@TheCIOWhisperer) reportedAn attacker compromised Composio employee Gmail OAuth tokens via magic link sign-in abuse and then pivoted into internal systems. ~5,241 API keys sat in an auxiliary cache during the breach window. GitHub connections took the hardest hit (5,000+ affected). This is a supply chain problem for AI tooling. And it matters a lot.

Sheikh Mahfuz (@Mahfuz_AI) reportedYour Gmail storage is “full” again. You deleted emails. Cleared spam. Removed attachments. Still full. Because Gmail keeps hidden storage hogs most people never check. I freed 18GB without deleting a single important email. Here’s where Google hides the real junk: 👇 1. Google Photos backups Open Most people have years of blurry videos eating space. 2. Gmail’s giant hidden files Search this in Gmail: "has:attachment larger:10M" You’ll instantly find massive files you forgot existed. 3. Google Drive trash Drive trash still counts toward storage until it’s emptied. Go to: 4. Backup files from old phones Android backups can silently use several GB. Check them here: 5. Shared files you don’t own Huge shared files still appear in your Drive and confuse storage usage. 6. Promotional emails with attachments Search: "category:promotions has:attachment" Delete hundreds at once. 7. Hidden app data Old apps connected to Google can store backup junk forever. Review here: Do this once a month and Gmail storage problems disappear.

Adeptmind Group. (@ode_matthew123) reported@Masterji_UPWale The problem with Yahoo Mail and Gmail is we don't save our images on Yahoo drive we only did on Google drive which where you email reside as well

Peter M (@Peter80467934) reported6 months running two businesses through claude code has surfaced real operator problems that hobby projects never hit: • MCP tool reliability — gmail calls drop silently mid-workflow • skill versioning — no safe way to test changes without breaking production • error recovery — one skill fails = entire dispatch chain stalls • state management — 30 skills juggling context is a manual nightmare these aren't "nice to have" improvements. they're the difference between my crew working or sitting idle. @bcherny @AnthropicAI

Seb (@isSebs) reported@Lammie_Art01 I remember when Gmail beta had an increasing counter at their login page claiming that storage was always increasing. good times tbh

Ruben Garcia Jr (@rubengarciajr) reported@leanmaxxing @themkmaker I use it for my agents, I always have problems with Gmail, outlook. Since I’ve started using agent mail .. it’s been a better experience. (Every agent as an email address)

tyu (@wunstepback) reportedoh my god the new gmail logo is so *** how has google gone this far down
-
bored jew (@boredjew) reported@bryanrbeal This is extremely patronizing. Everybody knows which data centers are being fought over, and it's not the gmail server farms that have been open for two decades; it's the rural monstrosities being built to power AI that nobody wants or needs, and they don't need to be defended.

Favour Afula (@favourafula) reported@weiwang47854291 change completed. kindly login with the new gmail address

OBS (@Akinwa8) reportedThis guy did fraud for a while made small money and went to US for education. He used his real gmail while he was still active and still used it for all the traveling processes. He traveled and was enjoying his education with no trouble or police harassment. Until one day he got into a fight in school and police were involved, they took him to the station and that was when they showed him his file that they’ve actually been watching him since he stepped foot in the country. Well he did his time and only God knows where he is now

Zack K - Google Ads (@zohairk19) reportedOne thing most operators do not realize about Performance Max: It reports on results but not on where those results came from. You can see total conversions. You cannot easily see whether they came from Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, or Gmail without digging into asset group insights. Before you judge PMax performance, break down where the conversions are actually coming from. Most of the time one channel inside PMax is doing all the work and the rest are just spending.

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
-
Gale (@_gaelicGhost) reported@garrytan Yep. Gmail message actions on iOS don’t even stick on the server when I go to the web app… Drive on macOS is a disaster, tbh. I’ve applied there before to help them out, but nobody ever calls me back. And half their jobs that I’d want are only in Canada and Mexico, so…

Res (@lavenderleaf86) reported@Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp @CloudflareDev I'm migrating a client to Cloudflare, but when he tried creating an account w/ his Gmail it gave an error & said to contact support. Which he can't because it requires an account... He sent an email 2 days ago w/ no response. What to do?

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!

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reported𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 There's a free Google tool that builds real apps from one sentence. This update knocked down 3 walls at once. Here's what's new: → Your apps now plug straight into Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Drive, and Calendar. → Build a real native Android app. Not a fake web page. → Test it in a fake phone right in your browser. No setup needed. → Plug your phone in by USB. The app jumps onto it. → Put your first 2 apps online for free. No credit card. No fees. → Point at any button and say "make this bigger." It just does. A dashboard that used to take a developer a week now takes a sentence. The people who build little tools now will get hours back every week.

Danny Wallace (@maestroalvarez) reported@gmail My inbox isn't broken because I can't sort it. It's broken because 80% of it shouldn't exist. Fix that.

ROGUEWEALTH 🏴☠️ (@roguewealth) reportedBeen seeing more and more people losing their gmail/google workspace accounts. I'm just gonna setup a new domain and find an inexpensive email provider to serve as my main account holding email. Big issue if locked out of gmail so best to be proactive about it.
