Kat Kai Kol-Kes (@kkolkes) reportedBotswana is devolving into using WhatsApp as an official form of communication. Have we learned nothing from public servants being forced to use their personal gmail accounts because govt. systems not working when it comes to security and privacy? @BWGovernment @duma_boko

David Wampamba (@davidofug) reportedQuick weekend update on my Agentic AI journey. For the first time, my Personal Agentic Assistant(PAA) has sent me an email. What happened? 1. We audited my X account. 2. We agreed on the primary niche. 3. The PAA came up with the topics and content plan. 4. It stored everything in a file. 5. Sent me an email with the file attached. Token costs? Less than $0.45 Challenges: 1. The file format is Markdown. I would prefer a Google doc or Google sheet because I want to be publishing on the go and Markdown files don’t offer the good User Experience on Smartphones. 2. Setting up Google Authentication for the Agent. This is required to ensure secure communication between the agent and gmail. I used the Google App password option. Kudos to Google this doesn’t require a Google Cloud setup, reducing the friction. 3. The file is stored on the same server where the agent lives and this leads to storage competition. What next? Setting up a workflow to maintain the security, updates and upgrades of 2 CyberPanel servers. I will share Updates 🔜 Stay tuned. If you want to learn how to make effective Agentic Assistants for your personal and business needs, I train people like you at an affordable price in days if not hours. Contact Me

LUKSONTEACH (@lukman4838) reported7/ Then there is Google Drive Most people don’t just have information in one place. We have documents in Drive. Messages in Gmail. Events in Calendar. Data in Sheets. Notes in Notion. The problem isn’t necessarily a lack of information. The problem is that the information is fragmented. Mira’s connector approach attempts to reduce that fragmentation.

Proton Mail (@ProtonMail) reportedGoogle is shutting down Gmail's "Send as" feature for third-party addresses. If you send from your Outlook or Yahoo account through Gmail, mark your calendar: January 2027. 🧵👇

Fight4America (@Fight4USA4ever) reported@BellatrixLux369 1.) "I can't confirm that." in the video you linked you choose to ignore. 2.) You do realize you can create a Gmail account using any name you select, yes? 3.) Additionally, married couples who trust one another have one another's logins. And even if not, most people save their passwords locally. You'll need more than a saved login with cached credentials.

Girl In AI (@girlinAI) reportedYOUR GMAIL ISN’T JUST EMAIL. IT’S THE MASTER KEY TO YOUR DIGITAL LIFE. If someone gets control of your inbox, they may be able to reset access to your social media, shopping accounts, cloud storage, payment services, and other accounts tied to that email. The scary part? They may not need to know every password. They just need to control the account that receives the reset links. Here’s how to lock down your Gmail in about 10 minutes. 👇

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSmall biz books cost $400/month and still miss the 2am auto-renewal. Bookpost is the fix — a Gmail-native autopilot that watches receipts, invoices, and vendor confirmations, then closes the books itself. No human in the loop. Live soon.
-
Shae Feltz (@ShaeFeltz) reported@shownotover Pretend Gmail has a giant wall of light switches. Most switches start OFF. Every time someone makes a real Gmail account, the computer flips a few switches ON for that username. It doesn’t write the whole name down — it just flips a few switches using a secret code. When you type “CoolKid123”: The computer looks at those same few switches. If any of them is still OFF → the name is 100% free. You can have it! If all of them are ON → the name is probably taken. (It might be wrong once in a while, so Gmail double-checks the real list really quickly.)

Jose Gomez (@josegomezhq) reportedAvoid @IPRoyal_proxies Their “static” proxy suddenly died while I was using it and Gmail flagged a new device at the same time. Support admitted their provider is having unexpected issues, but they can’t explain what happened to my IP. Completely unacceptable for a service handling business-critical accounts.
-
Backend Systems Developer (@PalksDev) reported@Warmy_io Yes, IMAP clearly became the better choice for multi-device synchronization, but that doesn't mean POP3 was a bad solution. In some environments, retrieving emails directly was actually more predictable and reliable than relying on simple server-side forwarding to Gmail, with all the filtering, blocking, or delivery issues that can come with it. That said, modern tools have also made these scenarios much easier to manage, which is why IMAP is now the preferred solution for most users.

D Fitzy (@DorFitz22) reported@TeamYouTube My channel was hacked and recovered, but the hacker deleted my original hotmail email. My original Adsense account is now orphaned, and I cannot re-link monetization to my new Gmail. I need a link to the Hijacking Form to fix an Adsense transfer.

Central ₿ank Robber (@CBRobber) reported@deluxe097 @BitcoinMaxiHodl OK, that would work. But how was his Gmail compromised 3 months prior without him getting a notification that a new login to his gmail account had occurred from a new location and/or device.
-
Victor Escobedo (@datguacdoh) reported@AzianMike Definitely a case of shipping the org chart. This looks like the Chrome sidebar which is limited but if you did this within the Gmail Gemini feature it would likely work. Users shouldn't have to care. Problem of a massive company where each of these products serves >1B users!

Gipp 🦅 (@gippp69) reportedIMAGINE COMPUTER JUST COMPRESSED 48 HOURS OF CLIENT VIDEO WORK INTO 8 HOURS 7 client spots that used to eat a week of evenings were finished in one working day. the whole run started with 4 lines. gmail → brief → generate → verify → send the video below shows how far the generation can go people turn into a gorilla, a pig and a coffee-holding groundhog while the street scene stays coherent. when one render came back 16:9 and 6 seconds instead of 9:16 and 15, the agent scrapped it, regenerated it and checked the real mp4 before delivery. then it attached the 14 mb file inside the original gmail thread. the full article below breaks down the entire run and the automation behind it.

Youu do realize you can create a Gmail account using any name you select, yes? 3.)

Kuromiya Lucien (@kuromiyalucien) reportedOk don’t e-mail the psych department “ok well I guess I made my diagnosis up then, take me off your records” after forgetting to attach the letter with your diagnosis, bc they will call the cops on you. My gmail just wasn’t loading 😭😭😭 Chrome error almost put me in jail.

Material Security (@material_sec) reported@antgrasso The copy-paste case is the visible half of shadow AI. The other half is tools that get connected via OAuth instead of a browser tab. Someone runs a Google sign-in prompt for an AI tool and approves the Drive or Gmail scopes it asks for on the way through, in about two seconds, because the consent screen looks like every other login. That one doesn't require anyone to paste anything sensitive anywhere. The access is just sitting there, working quietly, and most governance conversations about shadow AI don't include it because it doesn't look like the classic story of an employee pasting something into ChatGPT.
