Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reportedDay 14 of 30. 30 Days of Practical Tech. Today: lock your accounts in 5 minutes with an authenticator app. Here's the problem with the text message codes most people use. A hacker calls your phone company pretends to be you and moves your number to their SIM card. Now the codes come to them. It's called a SIM swap and it's how people lose their whole Coinbase balance overnight. The fix: download Authy or the 1Password app. Go to the security settings on Gmail X and your bank. Pick "authenticator app." A square barcode pops up. Scan it with the app. Done. The app spits out a fresh 6 digit code every 30 seconds and it lives on your phone not the phone network. No call to your carrier can steal it. That one move stops about 95% of account break ins. Took me longer to type this than it'll take you to do it. Tomorrow Day 15: how a password manager makes one stolen password stop being your problem.

Vivi (@vivilinsv) reportedI asked @ManusAI a data security question: now that the reported Meta/Manus deal appears to be in an unwind/disentanglement process, could any Chinese government authority have access to my data if I connect services like Gmail? The answer I got was surprising. Manus said: “Manus is not a Meta company, nor was it ever.” But this seems inconsistent with public information. Manus’s own website says “Manus is now part of Meta,” and its own blog announced that “Manus is joining Meta.” Media has also reported that Meta acquired Manus for around $2B, before Chinese regulators later ordered the deal to be unwound. So the concern is not simply “China” or “ @Meta.” The concern is factual clarity. For a product that asks users to connect Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and other sensitive workflows, corporate status and data governance cannot be vague. This may just be an AI hallucination or an outdated answer. But for a privacy question, that is exactly the problem. Does anyone know - if that is normal?

FATHELA ESQ (@AmControo) reportedBefore you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Google storage fills up quietly, and many people rush to pay without checking what is actually consuming the space. Most people blame Gmail, but the real problem is often somewhere else. With one proper clean-up, you can free up a surprising amount of storage in less than ten minutes. Here is the method:👇

Lea Marie Korsawe (@leakorsawe) reported@Samaytwt Switched from Outlook to Gmail and still prefer Outlook. But at this point the problem is probably not the tool.

Maik Voets (@MaikVoets) reported@DudeWhoInvests They have a stranglehold on their customers and interpret this as having a strong business. On top of that, if you’re hiring young people it’s increasingly becoming an issue. Forcing people to use outlook after they’re used to Gmail is pure corporate torture

kcs (@kaafichillscene) reportedHot take: WWDC 26 was a dud 💩 Apple promised this Siri 2 years ago. Got sued. Settled for $250M. Delivered it now in 2026. But there is actual good stuff in there. Late in classic apple fashion but promising this time. WHAT THEY GOT RIGHT: → Siri finally has cross-app context: it reads your messages, emails, calendar and just acts. No copy-pasting, no switching apps, no explaining yourself twice → On-screen awareness is real. Point at anything, ask Siri about it. On Mac you can right-click a window and ask questions about what's on it. I didn't think I needed this until I saw it → Phone app pulling context from your emails mid-call is the sleeper feature nobody's talking about → Siri remembers conversations now. Finally. This is the assistant Apple was pretending to have since 2022. WHERE THEY LOST THE PLOT: → "Customisable voice sliders for Siri": bro, Samsung has had this since 2019 → AI reply suggestions in Messages: Gmail did this in 2018 and nobody clapped → Tab management in Safari packaged as a breakthrough feature. It's tab management. → Federighi talked about privacy for 10 minutes straight. Cool. Also Google Gemini is now inside your iPhone and Apple is paying them $1B a year for it. That part was a footnote. The product is genuinely good. The showmanship is still peak Apple, half the keynote was dressing up solved problems as inventions. But the cross-app stuff? That's real. That changes how you use your phone. 3rd party applications cannot really let you do much with AI agents on your phone but when you’re apple, you can literally make the phone do anything using AI. They gave a peak behind that curtain at WWDC 2026. You cannot really use the apps of your choice with SIRI right now but surely, that will come. Imagine saying, “hey Siri, it’s time to leave for work” and Siri calling you a cab. In 5 years, you may not be looking at your phone at all. Screens are so old school, voice is the new surface.

Shoot us a DM so we can look into your actual service issues safely and securely.

Rohit Mundada (@_mrohit) reportedJust experienced the power of Google’s distribution muscle. I was stuck on a broken warranty form, opened Ask Gemini in my tab, and it instantly pulled my details to draft and send a support email via Gmail in seconds. This deep contextual integration is why Google wins.

BlockLegend (@legend_block01) reported@TeamYouTube My gmail account is hacked and I cannot recover it. Someone has changed the password, added a passkey, changed the contact number, changed recovery email and everything. There is no way to sign-in. Google account recovery is not working as well. Please help!!!!!

Ivan Landabaso (@IvanLandabaso) reported1/ Act 1: The Wilderness (2017-2020, $0 to <$1M) After ~100 rejections, one name was left on their list: Mark Cuban. Steffen found his private Gmail inside the Sony hack data dump (anyone could download it back then, wild), sent a cold email with a video of the tech, and Cuban replied in 5 minutes ($1M at a $5M post). - Lever 1: they marketed a product that didn't exist yet by making famous people speak languages they don't. A BBC anchor in Mandarin, Beckham asking for malaria donations in 9 languages (800M+ impressions), Messi selling Lay's (a Cannes Lion), etc. Great (almost free) distribution leverage for a 10-person startup at the time. - Lever 2: they killed their only product with real revenue on purpose. Dubbing booked just under $1M over 18 months but sat at the wrong end of the workflow, "a vitamin, not a painkiller" as Victor puts it, so they shut it down (trade-off to identify and focus on a long term revenue driver, corporates). - Lever 3: they sold a worse video to people comparing it to no video at all. A clunky 2020 avatar lost to a film crew but it beat the 15-page PDF nobody tended to read in a coroporation, and that flipped pretty much everything (roadmap, monetization and trajectory). Self-serve hit $0 to $1M ARR in ~4 months.

AI Crave (@wecraveai) reportedOpen source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

Ivelina aka Niftyhontas (@niftyhontas) reportedinstant VC rejection signals (stop wasting your time): - Yyou make empty claims. No numbers, no proof = no credibility. - you ask for an NDA before sharing your deck. Signals inexperience. - your pitch deck has an outdated date. Signals you’ve been fundraising too long. - your market size (SAM) is over $100B. Too broad, VCs assume your numbers are wrong. - your market is too small (SAM < $1B). No VC-scale exit potential. - “we have no competition.” - founders own less than 50% after Series A. Low ownership = weak long-term incentives. - dead equity on your cap table. Bad early deals = no room for employees or future rounds. - your market size is expressed in volume, not value. VCs think in $$, not in units. - you’re not a Delaware C-Corp (or VC-friendly entity). Legal structure matters. - no technical co-founder. No CTO? No funding (for tech startups). - you want to sell to “everyone.” No clear ICP = no focus = no investment. - you talk about exits too early. If you’re pre-seed, focus on building, not selling. - your deck is full of jargon. “Disruption,” “transformation,” “game-changer” = auto-reject. - you exaggerate traction. If investors dig and find out, you’re done. - you’re using a Gmail/Hotmail email. Get a professional domain email. - you can’t estimate CAC/LTV. If you don’t know your unit economics, you’re not ready. - you’re slow to reply to emails. Speed = execution. Slow response = weak founder. - your GTM strategy is just a list of channels. No clear funnel = no go. - your round terms are off-market. Investors expect valuations in a certain range. - you’re raising for less than 18 months or more than 24 months of runway. Too little = risky, too much = over-optimistic. - talking “equity” and “valuation” at pre-seed. Pre-seed rounds = SAFEs, not priced equity. - you can’t handle rejection. VCs talk, don’t burn bridges. - you’re building in a cold market. Some sectors just aren’t getting funded right now. - no “unfair advantage.” If anyone can copy you, why should VCs bet on you? - you’re a Forbes 30 Under 30. 🚩 Investors know PR ≠ success. - your deck is circulating without investor engagement. If no one's biting, something's off. what else?

Numan (@Numan_Ai12) reportedSo I started turning it off. First, the switch they actually show you. On desktop: open Gmail, click the gear, then See all settings. On the General tab, find Smart Features, uncheck it, scroll down and Save. Then I learned that was only half of it.

Andrew Carles (@andrew_carles) reported@hetmehtaa The issue is that email itself is not inherently secure. While the practitioner's email system may be encrypted and compliant, there is no guarantee that a patient's personal AOL, Yahoo, or Gmail account has the same level of security. Once information leaves the provider's secure environment and is delivered to an unsecured personal email account, the risk of unauthorized access increases significantly.

lterlemez (@lterlemez) reported@examaddaorg Meta, neverever; Google never except drive and gmail but never trust for important data and communication, MS some (if it is on Exchange server, some) not much or less than Google. Apple never; Amazon and Notion are never used. And I trust none of the AI, they are data thieves.

Anuvrat Singh (@anuvrat_singh) reportedFor context on how bad 36/100 actually is: the alert system was also making 2,000 sequential email connections per send cycle. At 1,000 subscribers that's enough to get the whole service rate-limited by Gmail. Not a slow feature. A feature that quietly stops working at scale, with no error, no log, nothing telling you it failed. This is the stuff that's invisible until it isn't.
