  The amount of SPAMMERS using @gmail is really getting a PITFA because I can't block the whole Domain via my SPAM filter rules. @Google really need to start dealing with this issue. Surely with all their data mining & monitoring of email content it can't be hard for them.

  A freelancer got an email that looked exactly like her bank. Right logo, right formatting, right sender name. It asked her to "verify" her account by clicking a link and entering her login. She didn't click it. Instead, she looked at one detail Gmail had been quietly showing her the entire time, on every email, for years — and realized the message hadn't come from her bank at all. It came from a domain that didn't exist. That one habit, using a feature she'd never been taught, is the entire reason she didn't lose access to an account holding $40,000. Gmail is the most-used email service on Earth, and most people only ever use it to read, reply, and search. Here are 11 hidden Gmail features almost nobody uses 🧵

  He wrote the reference book on distributed systems. Over 300,000 copies, eight languages, at one point the second best-selling title in O'Reilly's entire catalogue. He teaches at Cambridge. He also sold a company to LinkedIn for a reported $15 million, and in March 2020 LinkedIn switched it off. In May 2024 he stood up in Berlin and explained how to make sure that never happens to anyone else's users. The principles have been public and free since 2019. The AI industry spent the following six years rebuilding the exact architecture they warn against. 2012 Martin Kleppmann's startup Rapportive is acquired by LinkedIn. It was a Gmail plugin that showed you who you were emailing, and people built it into their daily workflow so thoroughly they forgot it was not a native feature. 2013 He reads a two-year-old paper by Marc Shapiro, Nuno Preguiça, Carlos Baquero and Marek Zawirski describing conflict-free replicated data types. Data structures where two people can edit the same thing offline, independently, and the results merge without a server deciding who wins. He sees a way out of the cloud-centric architecture the whole industry had settled into. Nobody follows him for years. The technology is academic, the demos are text editors in Ruby, and cloud apps are winning on every dimension users can see. 2019 With three collaborators at Ink and Switch he publishes an essay naming the alternative and setting out seven ideals for it. Your data lives on your device. The software keeps working with the network down. It survives the company that made it. March 2020 LinkedIn shuts down the product he sold them, citing low adoption. Everyone who had made it part of their workflow loses it on a Wednesday. There is a blog that has been cataloguing this exact event since 2013. It is called Our Incredible Journey, after the phrase these announcements always use. Its own description is the sharpest line in the genre: the company's journey continues, and yours ends, because everything you made must now be deleted. Which is why the Berlin talk has a slide about making software incredible-journey-proof. He also gives the test, in eleven words: if it doesn't work with the wifi off, it's not local-first Now point that at the thing you used this morning Your AI memory, your context, your chat history, your agent's accumulated state. All of it sits in an account you do not control, on infrastructure you cannot inspect, under a model that gets deprecated on someone else's schedule. Six years of local-first work exists and almost none of it has been applied to the layer where AI keeps what it knows about you. An agent whose memory lives in a vendor's database is one acquisition away from amnesia. Open whichever app you depend on most Turn the wifi off Whatever still works is the part you actually own

  @Google 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.

  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.

  @CRy3no The same also applies to your Gmail. After 2 years of inactivity it shuts down. This standard practise by many companies. They are only allowed to hold data for so long. It’s been like that for years. ITS LAW IN EU.

  @JackEllis @Fastmail All inbox providers are having these issues. There's a lot of backchannel conferences where they are trying to tackle it. It's hard because lots are rotating through Gmail accounts/IPv6s which is harder to block. Cold emailing has gotten really sophisticated now.

  Despite unlimited money and talent, nearly every attempt to build social media apps like X eventually ended up in the infamous Google Graveyard. Here’s the full body count: 1. Google+ (2011–2019) Google’s biggest, most hyped swing at Facebook and Twitter. They launched with “Circles” — a way to sort your friends, family, and coworkers so you could share different stuff with different people. It was deeply integrated with YouTube and Gmail. Why it flopped: No clear reason to switch. Cluttered interface. Nobody was actually using it. Then a massive data leak in 2018 was the final nail. Google killed the consumer version in 2019. 2. Orkut (2004–2014) Launched the same year as Facebook and was actually one of Google’s most successful social networks… just not where it mattered most. It was a classic social site: friends, communities, ratings. It exploded in Brazil and India but never caught fire in the US or Europe. Once Facebook went global, Orkut slowly bled out and got shut down in 2014. 3. Google Buzz (2010–2011) Google’s attempt at Twitter, built straight into Gmail. You could post links, photos, videos, and status updates to your contacts. It lasted barely a year because it was a privacy nightmare. By default it made your most-emailed contacts public. Backlash was immediate, the FTC sued, and Google quietly buried it. 4. Google Wave (2009–2012) The most ambitious (and most confusing) project of the bunch. It tried to merge email, instant messaging, wikis, and real-time collaborative docs into one thing. You could watch people type live and drag media straight into conversations. It was basically Slack/Discord years early… but almost nobody understood what it was supposed to replace. Too clever for its own good. Dead by 2012. 5. The smaller experiments Even after Google+ died, they kept poking at social: Shoelace (2019–2020): Hyperlocal app to help people in the same city meet up for real-life events. Perfect timing… right before COVID killed all offline plans. Shut down in 2020. Keen (2020–2024): AI-powered Pinterest alternative for curating interest boards. Quietly killed in early 2024. What’s left? YouTube. That’s it. Google’s only real social media win. Instead of chasing another text-based timeline, they’ve gone all-in on short-form video with YouTube Shorts and just pulling social content from everywhere else into Google Discover.

  @Innovashift @chasingsreams @tarunvats33 Can confirm. They straight up told me that they could not reproduce it. I once reported that the search inside Gmail is not visible with the broken color palette and rather than fixing the color palette they made the search different color somehow 😭 and marked it as fixed.

  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!

  @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.
