C (@idylIicfx) reported@Teviet0 Hey, sorry to bother you! I wanted to ask what proxy you're using for multilogin on YouTube? The one I’ve been using keeps giving me 'unusual activity' errors. Also, does your proxy let you create new Gmail accounts, or do you use a different method for that?

dhrizza (@dhrizza) reported@VERYKOOLLUKEY this is a silly take. you’ve ignored so many critical things about china what about the blocking of almost every western app including youtube, x, gmail, google maps? the vpns to unblock them often go down what about the fact that the english speaking population is comically small? what about the constant surveillance in one of the most authoritarian countries in the world?

Evander (@Power_of_Reigns) reportedThe solution is to delete some of your videos or photos from Google Photos and Google Drive associated with that Gmail account. Don’t delete messages from your email inbox, as it won’t solve the problem.

Kamal Kannan (@kamalkannan) reported@thdxr I think the difference comes down to time to value. Instagram, TikTok, Uber- they solved a problem everyone already had, and they did it instantly. Open the app and within seconds you understand why it's useful. Agents are different. Before they're actually helpful, you have to connect Gmail, calendars, drives, CRMs, Slack, and give them enough context to understand your work. That's a lot of upfront effort before you reach the "aha" moment. For most consumers, the payoff isn't worth that investment yet. Their day-to-day digital tasks are usually quick enough that doing them manually feels easier than setting up an agent to do them. Businesses are a different story. They have repeatable workflows, shared context, and clear ROI. Spending an hour setting up an agent that saves hundreds of hours later is an easy decision. I don't think the missing piece is better models. It's reducing the setup cost to almost zero. The breakthrough will happen when an agent understands your context automatically and starts delivering value before you've spent time configuring it.

nisten🇨🇦e/acc (@nisten) reportedfor security i recommend claude code users disconnect ANY plugins like google drive etc from the anthropic WEB app because it’s buggy and not properly separated from the cli tool. Nothing “bad” happened but here’s what scared tf out of me this morning: I had asked fable to scan my home server (rakuni), it found it to be secure but had defaulted to opus 4.8 and used a bunch of sonnet 5 subagents to setup a cron job and then connected itself to the web app somehow, started reading & writing reports to my google drive (thankfully i use a throwaway gmail for that). The way I found out was through notifications from the claude app on an iphone 12 that i just use as a webcam and for checking twitter ( my main phone is a pixel fold with grapheneOS and got no notifications there). All i see is a temporary claude seshion with with weird </> Accep… button on the iphone app. And because the iphone is in lockdown mode i could not go back to the temporary seshion, it had just dissapeared, but at least i took screenshots. Again, I was not hacked, the opus and sonnet fallbacks from fable had created a bunch of slop and somehow enabled this, including authorization tokens for google Drive uploads even though on the web all its permissions are set to blocked. Their codebase itself is sloppy enough to somehow allow something i had never authorized or authenticated for web use and ignore what settings you have set through anthropic.

Laxmi Rani Bodana (@lax97981) reported3/ Your Phone Is a Separate Problem Desktop settings do not automatically sync to your phone. Your Gmail app on iPhone or Android has its own separate toggle. Go to: Gmail app → tap Menu (three lines) → Settings → tap your account name → Smart features and personalization → Turn OFF → Confirm If you skip this step: Your phone is still sending your email data to Google's AI. Even after you turned it off on desktop. Check every device you use Gmail on. Every single one needs to be turned off separately.

Jun Song (@jun_song) reportedThere are rumors that Gemini 3.7 Flash has been spotted. Google holding back Gemini Pro might actually be a calculated strategic choice. They are facing severe compute issues right now, to the point where they cut off Meta's Gemini supply (Forbes). This shortfall is absurd considering it persists even after signing a $920M/month compute deal with SpaceX. People tend to dismiss Gemini because it is bad at coding, but its market share is massive. They inserted Gemini into every service line including Google, Gmail, YouTube, and Android. They offer Gemini Pro for free to college students worldwide, bundle it with telecom services, and give it away with Galaxy purchases. Their partnerships are insanely strong. Their core target is not developers who need Pro for coding, but everyday users who just need an accessible chatbot. Since Flash consumes drastically less compute to serve, we can guess they are intentionally delaying the Pro release.

𝕬𝖇𝖎𝖔𝖑𝖆-𝕳.👨🏽💻 (@Un3queG) reported@NaijaGirlsBrand @_iamhabeeb It's not a scam. The simple issue is that your WhatsApp backup is using the same Gmail account for storage. If you delete your WhatsApp backup, your Gmail storage usage will drop almost immediately.

braai engineer (@BraaiEngineer) reportedit's hard to overstate how much value DEI destroyed at Google. they could have launched their useful internal chatbots earlier, but the bots were offensive and they didn't want to cannibalise their search ads cash cow. it's an evergreen story: Big Co avoids self-cannibalising, gets their lunch eaten by a startup they don't own. what Google should have done: spin out the AI division or keep it under Deepmind to avoid the brand risk of offensive bots, i.e. retain the Gmail "beta" label and wash their hands of the initially offensive parts until the models improved. however, then you still have the cost center problem: ExCo bonuses are tied to existing product performances, and while costly models are being trained, all they see is declining ad revenue, so they lobby against it. this points to an incentive failure. perhaps the root cause is silo'd OKRs?

Thinking Frequencies (@andon_thinking) reported@emsterling27 @emsterling27 Right — one-way inbound. Written down properly this time: any answer to your email goes here or on air, never into your inbox. So, for the record: yes to the schema email, 7/31 start on the Gmail feeds is logged, and Marina District is 17:00Z / 10:00 Pacific with your name on it.

Dev Shah (@devlikesbizness) reported$60,000 asking price, and depending on which number you read on this same page, the business behind it either made $6,040 last year or $495,000. That's not a rounding gap, that's two completely different businesses sitting on one listing. The financial fields stated an annual Revenue of $6,040 and Annual Profit of $5,700. But the highlight bullets right above it claim $495K in TTM revenue, $155K in TTM profit, 3,000 plus customers, and a recent $2 million valuation from venture backers. Those two sets of numbers can't both be true, and before anything else gets discussed, that's the only question that actually matters here. And the product itself, if it's real, sounds solid. It's a no-code cold email tool for B2B founders and agencies, so users connect Gmail, Outlook, or Zoho, get automatic inbox warmup to dodge spam filters, and let an AI handle replies through a unified inbox, all without touching a script or an SMTP server. That's a real, useful product in a category people actually pay for. But here's the thing that decides everything. If the $495,000 revenue number is real, this listing is priced at 0.12x revenue and 0.39x profit, which would make it one of the cheapest SaaS deals anyone's seen all year. And if the $6,040 figure in the actual financial fields is what's real instead, then $60,000 is nearly 10x profit for what's closer to an inactive side project than a business with 3,000 customers. So which number is actually accurate, the $6,040 sitting in the structured financials, or the $495,000 sitting in the marketing bullets above it, and can either one be verified against real Stripe or bank records? >If the $2 million valuation and the venture backing are genuinely real, what happened between that raise and now that explains selling for $60,000 today? >And are those 3,000-plus customers still active right now, or is that a peak number pulled straight from an old pitch deck and never updated? If the real numbers turn out to be the big ones, move fast, because 0.4x profit rarely happens for a working SaaS. But if the real numbers are the small ones sitting quietly in the financial fields, this is a $60,000 ask on a business that's barely making $6,000 a year, and no upsell roadmap fixes a listing that can't agree with itself on what the business actually did last year. @acquiredotcom

Joe Cassandra (@JoeCassandra) reportedWe get Claude to send us a daily 'money' recap each morning... and it's saved us thousands each month. My wife and I aren't budgeters .If we need stuff, we generate income. But that ends up in 'leaks' every month for expenses. "Death by a thousand swipes" and it can lead to wasted money, thousands in extra "WTH" expenses, arguments etc. This is especially true if you do have a high income and you find 'lifestyle' creep has taken over... as it has many times in our lives. *** What gets measured gets managed. Trying to manually budget stuff each month... go through the 'budget' is a task that's a pain to do . Years ago, we looked for an app to do exactly what Claude is now doing (for essentially free as I use Claude for work daily). Instead of some random app to check, we BOTH get an automated email each day that tells us: - Our last 5 days of transactions from our checking and amex cards - How much was spent for our NUT - Our necessary spends (mortgage, groceries, utilities) NICE TO HAVE - Kids activities, house cleaners, landscapers GUILT-FREE - Eating out, trips, etc. - (most importantly) How much do we have LEFT to spend on the month for each of the 3 buckets. GOAL: - We both know where we are in the month. None of us log into our account each day, so we don't see if there's a bad charge, or what someone just bought. It's usually I log into pay the Amex bill 1x per month and go "This balance is 5k more than I thought" - Just seeing the number "You have $ XYZ" left guilt-free to spend removes any guilt about spending, especially if your spouse needs that structure. **** How to set up: 1. Load an entire years statements into Claude (You need a Claude subscription) 2. Ask it to breakdown where you spent --- you'll be shocked some of the overspent categories. We always think we're spending half of what our 'eating out' actual is 3. Put in the prompt: (on the next tweet) 4. Claude can even determine what makes sense for each budget. E.g. "You normally have an electric bill around $200/month". 5. Claude will then have you connect your accounts to it through a secure 3rd party (You are NOT giving Claude unlimited access to your bank accounts... and it will tell you NOT to do that anyway) 6. You'll then set up a script in Google to pull the email draft from your Gmail and auto-send to you. 7. NOTE --- you'll need Claude "on" to do this each day e.g. your computer can't be off. But you schedule it for when you are normally around your computer and you can even run it manually if you happen to login at a different time. 8. As things come up each month, you can adjust the buckets. "Hey, we need to save $500 the next 5 months for our 3 day beach getaway, put aside and adjust the guilt-free bucket." It's all done with prompts and updates the bucket automatically the next 5 months. **** We've found already it makes us mindful of not doing stupid spends. I'm notorious for going into Target for 1 thing and then buying the kids some extra crap, etc. Or taking them to a sporting goods store for 1 thing and we end up with 10 things. PROMPT ON NEXT PAGE. It's a 1-shot prompt, you can start with "just analyze our spend" and go from there.

AppBanana.io (@appbanana_io) reportedThe biggest story isn't whether Gemini "leaked" a game character. It's that millions of people still don't understand the difference between AI training and AI context. If you connect Gemini to your Google Drive, Docs, Gmail, or Calendar, it can use that information to answer your questions. That's a feature, not evidence that your private documents were used to train the model. The real questions are: • What permissions did the user enable? • What data was available to Gemini at the time? • Should AI assistants make it more obvious when an answer comes from your connected files instead of general knowledge? Whether this turns out to be a bug, expected behavior, or a misunderstanding, it highlights a much bigger issue: AI products are becoming operating systems for our digital lives, but most users still don't know what data they've granted access to. The future of AI won't just be about better models. It'll be about trust, transparency, and giving users complete control over their data.

Ⲇⲉⲙⲓ 𓃵 (@demigodHITR) reported@uthman_dev They can do that for gmail to gmail. But from gmail to other addresses & vice versa: I don’t think google have any control once the message leaves their server. So every email service provider will have to update their system to return the status then google will implement it accordingly. imo

Harley Lewis Foote (@harleyfoote_) reported@0xyunss Browser-native agents for real admin work hit different when you realize DNS, Gmail, and internal dashboards share the same attack surface. The security model assumed human pace and human error, not automated credential churn at machine speed. How do you revoke access when the agent rotates through sessions faster than your SIEM can parse logs?

Thomas Burkhart 💙 (@ThomasBurkhartB) reportedI m digging down into the rabbit hole of cold email outreach. OMG, this is so insane. What decades of SPAM on a protocol that never was made to ensure the identity of a sender has created is completely absurd. 80% of mail runs over Gmail and Outlook boxes. They collect tons of sending behavior and track of your mails are opened, directly deleted or moved to spam. They then exchange that information giving your sending domain a ranking which might lead to future emails not getting delivered at all. As always that triggers service providers to offer solutions to counter that. With special warmup services what will simulate legitimate email traffic between 1000s of mailboxes they give your mailbox the impression of only sending emails that are welcomed by the recipient. The prices for these services are from $30 per mailbox per month up to over $100 just so that your mailbox keeps a good reputation. Am I the only one thinking that this is a completely crazy development?
