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.

Kevin (@kevin_smith51) reportedOutlook is so bad. I know a lot of people love Gmail, I use it personally but still not the right solutions to the same issues imo. Any companies that have built a good email UI? Might just have to build my own for personal use. Sounds like a nightmare to maintain though.

Vaibhav Sharma (@TheVaibhavShrma) reportedSince exam papers can be leaked through messaging platforms, the government should immediately ban Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Outlook, Gmail, Zoom, and maybe email itself. Can't have leaks if nobody can communicate. Problem solved. 😌

Silent_No_More (@silentn0mor3) reported@4nt1p4tt3rn Most people are unprepared to deal with the security risks associated with running a sendmail server. How about a free Protonmail account? I'm sure they're not as private as they claim, but they're a darn sight better than Gmail. My challenge has just been undertaking the grunt work of transitioning email addresses - in all the sites and services that I depend on. Although it would likely free me up from Spam which is 95% of the email I get daily. I've tried starting this before only to fizzle out.

Rex Ratio (Official) (@vermontaigne) reported@Google When are you going to permit me to use sorting without having your terrible AI suggestions imposed on my GMail? I don't want my personal emails written by AI. I am a Google One subscriber who's very unhappy about this garbage. This is just abusive.

Jose Velez (@J_dev363) reported@nandoprince93 The problem is that while the integration is good the app itself is not that good. I’ve tried using Apple Maps and I always get a wrong direction. I try using Apple Music but the recommendations are not that good. I use Apple mail because I prefer it over Gmail but even that, the ui is weird

Richard Hofman (@RichardHofman33) reported@SlmnMANUTD @googlechrome Sadly,I did everything possible, but this is a technical problem between Windows 11 and the Chrome browser that needs to be solved by their programmers.This is not just one problem with Google comp as Gmail also has a long-standing unsolved failure with letter formats.Let's hope.

Nishant Srivastava (@nishantsrivstv) reported@arpispeaks Khan sir is right. US can shut down Gmail or its features. They just did that with Claude. Now wether US will do it or not is a matter of context. But it can !

Vishwanath Patil (@patilvishi) reportedThe answer is no. Refreshing Gmail doesn't scan your entire inbox every time. Instead, it typically: • Fetches only new or changed emails since your last sync • Uses indexes to locate messages quickly • Caches frequently accessed data • Loads additional emails only when you scroll Reading 100 GB from storage on every refresh would be painfully slow. Great systems don't do more work they do less work, intelligently...

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.

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.

JTCrawford (@JtCrawford) reportedPRC operatives sat inside medical and military networks for over a year, exfiltrating drone tech and pathogen data via Gmail. When attackers have more patience than our defenders have budget, the breach isn't the problem—it's the symptom. #Cybersecurity #NatSec

emil_ (@emil_mod) reported@ZukoAzula20 @EOEboh Keep each login type in your database, when user sign in with the wrong method remind them, if they want to switch allow it. If they have a password login, and try Gmail or apple login, I would usually allow the login, because Google/apple auth is kinda more trusted.

Neha Sharma (@hellonehha) reportedwell scammers are on every app - from WA to gmail. telegram is literally used by many folks. Solution is not to ban telegram. problem is somewhere else which Indian govt is don't want to address. if they will block telegram, then there are other ways to leak/communicate paper. unfortunately, who are leaking paper are not stupid like people who thinks banning app will solve everything.
