  @BultoSenor @paramounttactcl @ObscureMod I had an account that got hijacked after a few years of no use and a lost gmail. I recently was able to log in to that gmail and also login in to my original twitter account from maybe 10 years ago. It had been used by a scammer in 2024. They def activate unused accounts.

  Google is shutting down the Local Services Ads dashboard. Starting in August, home service LSA accounts get migrated into Google Ads as a new Performance Max campaign type built around pay-per-lead. Here's what's changing, what to do before your migration date, and my theories on why Google is doing this. WHAT STAYS THE SAME > You still pay per lead, not per click. Valid calls and messages only. > Your ads still show only on Search and Maps, in the same positions as today. > Still no keywords. Targeting runs off your service categories and service areas. > Your Google Verified badge carries over, and if you're already verified there's no insurance or license reverification. WHAT'S CHANGING > The LSA dashboard goes away on your migration day. The login redirects straight into Google Ads, and your old performance reports do not come with you. > Google's automated bidding sets your cost per lead from here on. > One cost target per campaign, across every service. If you want plumbing priced differently than HVAC, you now need a separate campaign for each trade. > Weekly budgets become daily budgets. Google divides your weekly number by 7, and monthly spend caps at about 30 days' worth of that. > BBB callouts are gone. You pick at least 6 structured callouts in the assets tab instead. (TBD) > Your lead inbox moves into Google Ads under Conversions, with the same charged status, dispute form, and lead downloads. > Your Google Business Profile now feeds your ads directly. Name, address, and hours sync one way from the profile into Google Ads, and changing your name or address can pause your campaign for 24 to 48 hours while Google reviews it. THE TIMELINE August: the first wave of US home service advertisers. Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliance repair, house cleaning, lawn care, roofing, pest control, and moving. Late 2026: service-area businesses without a storefront and accounts with custom setups. 2027: everyone else, including non-US accounts. You get an email 14 days before your date, a reminder a week out, and Google says to expect up to two weeks for performance to settle after the switch. WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR HOME SERVICE BUSINESS > Export everything now. Reports, lead history, what each service costs you per lead. Once the dashboard redirects, that data is gone and you'll have no way to prove whether the new system charges you more. > Get your Business Profile right before your window. If you've been putting off a DBA filing or an address change, handle it now. The new campaign gets built from whatever your profile says, and changing your name or address after migration can pause your ads for up to two days. > Multiple trades under one account? Decide your structure early. One campaign means one cost target across everything you do. Splitting by trade gives you control back, but it also splits your budget and your data. > Do not panic in the first two weeks. Google says performance takes up to two weeks to stabilize after migration. Don't pause it and don't rebuild it during that window, because you'll just restart the learning period and drag the mess out longer. Give it the full two weeks unless something is seriously broken. MY THEORIES Theory 1: Cost per lead is probably going up in competitive markets, and Google has a very good reason to want that. Before this change, you could set a max cost per lead and Google couldn't charge past it. That limit is going away. Google's system sets the price now, and prices follow demand. During a July heat wave or the week after a storm, expect to pay more for the same lead. You can still set a target cost per lead, but a target is not a limit, and Google can go past it when demand spikes. The monthly cap only protects your total spend, not the price of each lead. Now look at the timing. Google just reported its first quarter of negative free cash flow since going public in 2004. They're not losing money. The ads business is making more than ever. But they're spending it faster than it comes in, about $45 billion on AI data centers in the last three months alone, with plans to spend around $200 billion this year and even more next year. They're borrowing money and selling stock to cover the gap. When a company is burning cash at that pace, every product gets squeezed for more revenue, and ads are the machine that pays for everything. Removing the cap on what a lead can cost you, at this exact moment, fits that picture a little too well. What you can still control is simple: answer every call and keep reviews coming in weekly, because Google still wants to send leads to businesses that handle them well. Theory 2: Google plans to show these ads in more places eventually. They didn't pick the Performance Max name by accident. Right now these campaigns only run on Search and Maps. But Performance Max is the campaign type Google built to push ads onto YouTube, Gmail, and websites across the internet. My guess is that somewhere down the road, Google starts offering to run your lead ads on those extra surfaces too. If that option ever shows up in your account, be careful with it. More placements usually means worse leads, and in a pay-per-lead system that means paying for more junk. Theory 3: A lot of owners are going to stop managing their own accounts. The old LSA dashboard was simple. Any owner could log in, check leads, and adjust the budget in two minutes. Google Ads is not simple, and most owners hate being in there. My guess is a big chunk of set-and-forget accounts slowly get worse after the move, because the owner stops logging in and nobody catches drifting budgets or junk leads. The businesses that actually watch their account after the switch will take leads from the ones that don't.

  @soham_btw The fact that the “log out of one account” problem still feels like a puzzle in 2026 is honestly wild. 😭 Google can organize the entire internet but signing out one Gmail account is somehow a side quest.

  @TeamYouTube Hi, I really need help with YouTube monetization. For more than two months, Step 2 of the monetization process has been stuck because of a possible duplicate Google AdSense account. I have tried several email addresses, closed accounts that might have been causing the conflict, and kept only one active account, but the error still appears. I do not remember whether I created an old AdSense account many years ago, possibly using an old email. The problem is that I cannot identify which account YouTube is detecting as a duplicate. And I don't have the password or access to old gmail. Does anyone know how I can find out exactly which email address or AdSense account is linked to my YouTube channel? I really need help from a human support representative because I have already tried all the available options and still cannot complete the monetization process. @TeamYouTube, could you please help me review my case?

  2 rules never change when this creator connects Claude to a new tool: draft only, delete never. Part 3 of her AI safety series shows exactly that: Claude linked to Gmail, Drive, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and Calendar, every single one sitting behind the same lock. The agent can draft an email. It can never send one. It can never delete anything, full stop. That's the same fix Evidence Engineering calls locking the gate: an agent that can touch the send button or the delete key finds the cheapest path to done, and the cheapest path is rarely the one anyone meant to allow. For a brand-new tool where the risks aren't obvious yet, she runs 1 more step first: she has Claude itself write out the hard limits that specific tool needs before she ever connects it, a description with zero stake in getting to skip a rule. The exits closed before the first prompt ran. That's the whole trick.

  Krishna Singh (@krishnasinghdev) reported 26 minutes ago

  I've reached a point where I genuinely don't trust Gmail's account recovery system anymore. Why does Gmail sometimes keep sending verification codes to the very email account I'm locked out of, instead of offering the option to receive an OTP on my verified phone number? Other times, it asks me to verify using a device I stopped using years ago, with no practical alternative. The most frustrating part is the lack of a way to contact a real support team. There seems to be no process where you can submit proof that you're the legitimate owner of the account—whether it's identity documents, recovery information, or any other evidence. For many of us, a Gmail account isn't just an email address. It's connected to years of personal memories, important documents, banking, work accounts, photos, and countless other services. Losing access can feel like losing a part of your digital life. I understand that strong security is important, but a recovery system should also be practical for legitimate account owners. Right now, it feels like the system can lock out the real owner while offering no meaningful way to resolve the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? Were you eventually able to recover your account, or did you lose access permanently? I'd really like to hear other people's stories and what worked for them.

  if your password resets ever hit spam, here's why: you send marketing and transactional from the same place. so when a promo blast spikes complaints, it bleeds into your receipts, resets, and confirmations. the standard fix: split the streams. transactional on its own subdomain. marketing on another. but know the limit subdomains aren't a firewall. gmail rolls subdomain behavior up into your root domain. so separation contains the damage. it doesn't make you immune. the only true isolation is a separate domain (or dedicated IP). most brands learn all of this the day a customer can't log in.

  The easiest way I've found to make Hermes much more powerful is Composio. Hermes already has a browser, terminal, files, memory, cron jobs, etc. The problem is that most of my actual work lives inside Gmail, Google Calendar, Granola, Slack, ClickUp, GitHub and a bunch of other apps. Composio gives your Hermes access to more than 1,000 apps through one MCP connection. This opens up requests like: "Find the email about this project, check my calendar and draft a reply with 3 available times" "Read this Slack thread, turn it into a ClickUp task. Assign it to X and set the due date for next week" "Research this lead, find our previous conversations, draft an offer and host it on our server" Hermes searches Composio for the exact action it needs. If an account is not connected yet, it gives you an OAuth link. Simple as that. You don't have to manually build a separate integration for every app or load thousands of tools into every conversation. Just send this to Hermes: "Open composio․dev/hermes and set up Composio for me. Once connected, find the apps and workflows that would be most useful based on how I use Hermes." That's it!

  @Google Google's Gmail recovery is a shameful catch-22: you can set your own email as recovery email + enable 2FA, then get permanently locked out with no real support. A preventable design flaw that traps millions. Fix it, Google.

  @ClipX0_ Clean setup, using a form to collect Gmails then sending invites is a tidy way to manage the list. Good luck shipping ClipX. One thing worth reinforcing to people who fill out the form: submitting their Gmail is step one, but they still have to actually opt in through the test invite link once they get it and keep the app installed the full 14 days to register as active toward production. Grab more than 12 as a buffer since dropping below 12 active can effectively restart the clock. And if the form route gets patchy on holding people through the full window, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

  NEVER struggle with email deliverability again. I just fed Claude code our entire system for 98% deliverability rates. Because I see this with almost every brand we onboard... They were spending hours on copy or design... Then type a subject line in 5 seconds and hit send. - > Gmail flags the subject line for spam. - > Routes to promotions. - > Open rate tanks. And the brand sits there going "email doesn't work for us." Nah. Your emails work FINE... Your subject lines are just getting buried. We built this tool for our team to score every subject line before it goes out. Originally internal. Now it's yours. Inside the tool: • Instant deliverability + engagement score for any subject line • Pre-built templates by category (abandoned cart, welcome, sale, win-back, holiday) • Red flags so you catch problems before they cost you money • Formulas from campaigns that actually drive revenue for brands doing $100K+/month Want it? • Comment "SUBJECT" • Follow me (so I can DM you)

  @lydiahallie Improve the classifier. Mid work model switches lose in context knowledge, rely on perfect commits to not lose state, it’s tiresome having to keep mds of Fable hazards per repo (which part of codebase or tasks are not for Fable), handing off to Opus adds translation and reduces accuracy, compacts to return Fable are lossy. Classifier needs to infer from session context - long horizon potentially destructive actions are allowed for days then Fable switched on some keyword or even commits for work done by Opus*. Usage stats to show entire session not since last restart, nice to have would be /usage like codex - lifetime tokens, streaks. Don't enable by default all/never used MCPs in new CC sessions, not turn off all claude-ai MCPs but having to manually turn off individual ones like Gmail. Ability to send feedback without handing over the session - How is Claude doing do you want to share a session y/n freeform feedback no session grab. The new in-app permissions prompts are welcome and supersede a ~year of manual fudging to achieve the same, does this clone the repos to CC web, and can it be applied to older instances? We had /remote and that cloned, since last week permission prompts are in app but only new sessions. What is intended for older ones? Statusline to display what we are working on in already available text area but without us needing hooks + notes per session, you already have a recap which doesn't quite fit more work oriented (or as CC puts it a living work-coherence model). Ultraplan to not handoff to cloud repos that are not workable there, anything with secrets or session inheritance or specific permissions to systems not accessible from cloud. Native channels / messages between instances, not durable like custom MCPs (example agent mail). Cursor on Windows rendering is terrible if moved between different size screens, the entire session other than last page gets mangled as narrow text but codexes don't - sessions render properly. I don't use Cursor on Mac or move it about to test. *3 days Fable run to analyse my Databricks, ADO repos, my Az session inheritance, Databricks CLI, all pipelines, notebooks, jobs, warming up clusters and querying data - objectively a vast blast radius but that is my call. Classifier fires because some baby data engineer left a secret in a notebook 😭. How is that balanced? Equally ability to analyse own codebases for security should be a job for Fable.

  I heard early this morning that Andrew Ng released an open-source local agent. I was really curious—a project from the "Father of Google Brain" bound to have something unique, so I rushed to look it up. Sure enough, Andrew Ng posted a thread introducing their newly released project, OpenWorker. I’ve translated his post for everyone below: To summarize briefly: OpenWorker's goal is simply to get work done—organizing files, generating reports, replying on Slack, updating calendars, processing inboxes, checking task progress, and more. Put even simpler, it’s designed to deliver finished work straight to the user. But I have to ask: Is this really the open-source product built by the multi-titled "Father of Google Brain"? Project Overview OpenWorker is a local agent application open-sourced by Andrew Ng. It can connect to local files, the terminal, Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and other tools. All you need to do is give it a goal. It will then break down the steps, call the necessary tools, ask for required approvals, and ultimately deliver documents, spreadsheets, reports, message replies, or other work outputs. DEMO Above is the DEMO released by Andrew Ng's team; below is mine. This time, I truly understood what "the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment" means. I review open-source projects all the time, and usually, I check out each new repo with a calm, neutral mindset. Today, knowing Andrew Ng released something, I was genuinely excited. I rushed to test it out to see a master at work. Let’s start with the pre-compiled installer version. Great. It spent the entire morning loading, and the model still failed to initialize. Since I couldn't modify the .dmg file, I had no choice but to deploy it from source code. It lacks multi-language support, so for the sake of demonstrating it clearly here, I added a quick localization tweak myself. Next, I configured the LLM provider—no major issues here; most standard options are covered, though some netizens complained that OpenRouter support is missing. Once the task started, the "interesting" parts began—starting with the bug that triggered the most backlash in the comments section. First issue: I just wanted to run a quick test, so I typed in a prompt: "Help me summarize the current state of Agents." Since I was using a Chinese input method (IME), typing the English word "Agent" required pressing Enter to confirm the text selection. The moment I hit Enter, half of my unfinished prompt got sent out automatically. That said, its mechanism of clarifying requirements through iterative questions is actually something I quite like—the clearer the requirement, the more accurate the output. It also includes various integrations (connectors) to link tools like Slack—which, honestly, isn't much different from connecting OpenClaw to Lark/Feishu. Final Thoughts I rarely criticize an open-source project. No matter the motivation, anyone contributing to the open-source community deserves credit. If I don't like a project, I usually just choose not to recommend it. But honestly, I fail to see the value in Andrew Ng releasing this project. How is this any different from OpenClaw??? The comment section is filled with the exact same question. Is this really a product that should come from a legendary figure in the AI space? I’m not saying every release needs to be ground-breaking, but at least include a few novel ideas. How is this different from putting a new UI wrapper on OpenClaw? Even if there’s no innovation, could you at least test it before releasing it to fix basic bugs? It’s not that I’m holding you to unreasonable standards—it’s that you should safeguard your own reputation and deliver a product that matches your stature. Gathering thousands of stars right after launch means you should be responsible to the people who supported you. Seriously, I beg you: please do something more meaningful! Use AI for healthcare to benefit humanity, or focus on education to teach and inspire... I sincerely hope top-tier AI leaders think this through.
