Aika Velho (@StradegyMonkey) reported1. I earned share of USDT profit from manual market signals I sent to my Skype contact X. 2. I bought Old School RuneScape gold with that share, using Skype. 3. I built a seed that purchased slaves from a botnet with Bitcoin, changed Skype password and sold the OSRS gold through Skype to Bitcoin in an unknown address, so I can't tell the address to Binance support and hijack automatically created accounts, while verifying identity, once I implement Binance. I received a confirmation this by e-mail to Gmail, using IMAP client. Bitcoin in the unknown address would have been backed with the share earned with the manual market signals. 4. The network started using a very simple artificial neural network and thus machine learning based on ratios of Bollinger Bands to send market signals over Skype to the contact X and limited withdrawals to the customer's Bitcoin address once it recognized a Bitcoin deposit to my Bitcoin address from a customer. The contact X sent profit to the network, while receiving Bitcoin from it for simulated losses. 5. Customers who requested a report each month, received a report from one(.)com webmail after a balance query. Only one withdrawal was requested, but it was so small I handled it quick from my own assets instead of spending time by requesting it from the network. Withdrawals would have resulted into purchase of Old School RuneScape gold and trading them to Bitcoin to keep the unknown Bitcoin address unknown. Withdrawals required a balance query, which was broken once customers had requested automatic reports after I had worked on automatic deposits for a while, which got delayed due to working on extensions. Regulation forced automatic withdrawals and Binance as creating a seed should stay permissionless and trading shouldn't be centralized as a single Skype contact. Automatic reports and automatic withdrawals were delayed by sickness, Binance GUI and captcha updates, and updates being delayed by their effect on codebase to give time to stop attacks.

Inference Engine (@iedaily_) reportedRay-Ban Meta glasses are good and all, but it's high time they address these problems: 1. No live video analysis. The glasses take a picture, process it, and then return answer. Feels slow compared to Gemini. 2. App ecosystem is limited. Yes, you can connect Gmail and Calendar, but the glasses should connect to a host of apps, with devs given the option to build for it. 3. Finally, the AI needs to improve, with better answering and memory to remember context from previous conversations. Has to match ChatGPT (OpenAI, here's your window; are you listening?)

Jay Petty (@JPetty2498) reported@Heartofgold4422 Doing so. Problem I have is x is in a Gmail accountant for some reason I cannot get to it on the tablet. So I’m gonna change it when x will let me try and mess with the account again. I’m in a time penalty atm

Saad 📱 (@saadbelfqih) reportedMost people judge Apple Ads way too early.. and I did too! They look at taps, installs, CPI… then pause the wrong keywords.. The real game is: keyword → install → trial → paid → revenue → ROAS. If you're not tracking that, you're guessing.. and with a small budget here's what I would do: 1 - Use Apple Ads Advanced. not basic.. please! Basic is easier, but you lose control over keywords, bids, countries, match types, and search terms. With a small budget, control matters! 2 - Start with Search Results only. that's where intent is. someone literally searched for the thing your app solves.. 3 - Don't start with "I want to scale." Start with: I want to learn what converts. .. which country, keyword, intent, product page or paywall. Scaling comes later. 4 - Don't mix too many countries in one campaign. One country per campaign is cleaner.. If one market works and another doesn't, you want to know that.. 5 - Don't sleep on smaller / cheaper / overlooked markets. I've found good pockets in places like Germany and Switzerland, and some tier-3 spots like Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines have honestly surprised me. Test around, your niche might live somewhere you didn't expect.. 6 - Start with exact match. Not broad. At the beginning, you want to know exactly what keyword triggered the tap. Broad / discovery can come later... I personally avoid it but you can always try at a later stage! 7 - Keyword buckets I'd test: competitor names, common typos, long-tail generic keywords, problem-aware keywords. Examples: transkribe, budget planner for couples, ai keyboard for iphone, Video to text etc.. 8 - Long-tail keywords are underrated. don't only bid on: scanner, keyboard, pdf, identifier. try the searches that sound closer to real intent. Less volume, but usually cleaner.. 9 - Competitor keywords can work (yes) but only if your app is a real alternative.. same niche, clear value & strong screenshots but not a random clone. 10 - Search Match OFF at the start. I know Apple suggests it. When you're learning, you don't want Apple picking random search terms for you. You want to know exactly what you paid for.. and I'm sure you don't want to be paying for Facebook, Gmail keywords at the start.. 11 - Start bids lower than Apple suggests. then increase slowly. also apple ads has lag, so don't change bids every hour.. 12 - Your product page does the selling before your ad ever does. People see: icon, name, subtitle, ratings, first screenshots. so if these (esp the screenshot) don't sell the outcome fast, the right keywords won't help you much 13 - Before spending, check competitors. not to copy of course, but to understand the pattern: what do they lead with? what outcome do they sell? how much text do they use? what pain do they show first? big apps already paid for some of that research 14 - Set up tracking before judging anything. Use RevenueCat, Superwall, an MMP, .. whatever, just track it! you want to monitor: country, campaign, ad group, keyword, spend, installs, trials, paid users, revenue, ROAS 15 - CPI can lie! a $0.40 install can be trash but a $2 install can be profitable.. The only question is: did this keyword bring paying users? 16 - Read the funnel properly: spend + no impressions = bid too low / low relevance taps + no installs = product page problem installs + no trials = wrong intent / weak onboarding trials + no paid = paywall or product issue revenue > spend = increase slowly 17 - When you find a winner, move it out of the messy test campaign. Give proven keywords their own campaign and keep them away from your random experiments 18 - Discovery is fine later.. it can surface search terms you'd never think of. Once a term works, move it into exact match. and keep dumping the irrelevant stuff into your negative keywords list.. helps apple ads point you at better keywords over time.. as confirmed by an apple ads support staff I talked to 19 - A tailored product page is worth testing when the intent is different.. competitor keyword? show why you're the better pick. feature keyword? lead with that feature. Same with the paywall, if they searched something specific, don't drop them on a generic one.. 20 - My small-budget setup: Apple Ads Advanced, Search Results only, 1 country per campaign, exact match first, Search Match off, manual bids, $5-10/day cap, competitor + long-tail keywords, tracking from day 0 21 - Kill rules I'd start with: spend + 0 installs → lower bid or pause installs + 0 trials → fix page / intent trials + 0 paid → fix onboarding / paywall positive ROAS → raise slowly not enough data → don't overreact and keep experimenting ... also worth checking out @adapty report on apple ads for some markets stats and for a detailed apple ads playbook worth checking @ivesparrowai book

IPS Yashasvi Singh Fans Club (@ips_yashasvi) reportedIf Your Gmail Isn't Secure, Your Bank Account Could Be at Risk. Your Gmail is connected to your banking apps, UPI accounts, social media, shopping websites and many other online services. If cyber criminals gain access to your Gmail, they may be able to reset passwords, intercept important emails and take control of other accounts linked to it. That's why securing your Gmail is one of the most important steps in protecting your digital life. Use a strong, unique password, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), keep your recovery email and phone number updated, and review your login activity regularly. Your Gmail is more than an email account. It's the key to your digital identity. Protect it before someone else does.

Dr. ELL (@DrellLabs) reported@P3rs3vs @staysaasy I think enterprise does come up zero data retention as default, but my experience with lawyers in my circle is that the fact of the AI model on someone elses server is looking at the documents is bad enough. Although from a probability of leaks standpoint, it's no different than say gmail or outlook

Peter Girnus 🦅 (@gothburz) reportedI am the legal-drafting officer at the Council of the European Union responsible for the interinstitutional file that reappears the week of July 6 under the urgency procedure. I have held the same brief for years. The word is voluntary. I have kept it in the text through every revision, every trilogue, every summer recess, and I would like to explain what it does, because I am proud of it, and pride is permitted when the work is good. Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 is a derogation. That is the first thing to admire about it. A derogation excuses rather than commands. The ePrivacy Directive made it unlawful for a provider to read the private correspondence of a person against whom nothing is alleged. We did not repeal that protection. Repealing looks like something. We suspended it, temporarily, for a narrow and blessed purpose, and a suspension of a prohibition is a very quiet thing. What was forbidden becomes permitted. The provider who was once a trespasser becomes a volunteer. Understand the elegance, because it took me a long time to draft it and longer to keep it. We did not order the scanning. Ordering the scanning would have required a detection order, and a detection order would have required an authority to issue it, and an authority to issue it would have required a judge, and a judge would have required a reason, and a reason is the one thing I have spent my career keeping out of the file. We removed the law that made the scanning illegal. What the providers do with that freedom is between them and the children. I write the permission. The choice is theirs, freely made, every hour, on every message, forever. People who oppose the file believe that mandatory scanning would be worse than voluntary scanning. This is the most persistent misunderstanding I encounter, and I never correct it, because a functionary who explains his own work has stopped working. A mandate creates a record. A mandate names an authority. A mandate can be challenged before the Court of Justice, because there is a decision to point at, a defendant to summon, a moment when the state did a thing to a citizen. Voluntary scanning has no such moment. There is no order to quash. There is no judge to have erred. WhatsApp chose. Gmail chose. Meta chose. The state merely stood aside and made the choosing lawful, and you cannot appeal against a company for accepting a gift, and you cannot appeal against a parliament for giving one. The subject of the scanning is the finest term in the instrument, and I fought for it in three languages. The unsuspected user. We do not scan the suspected. Suspicion would require a reason, and a reason would require a judge, and we have already discussed the judge. We scan the unsuspected, which is to say everyone, which is to say you, and the beauty of scanning the unsuspected is that no one has been accused of anything, so no one has standing to complain of anything, so the machine reads every message in Europe and violates the rights of no identifiable person, because to be violated you must first be suspected, and we are very careful never to suspect you. Now the procedure, which I admire nearly as much as the word. We have placed the file under urgency, and we have structured the reading so that to stop it or to amend it requires an absolute majority of all Members of the Parliament. Not a majority of those present. Not a majority of those voting. A majority of every Member who exists, including the ones at lunch, including the ones who have gone home, including the ones who have never read a data-protection file and never will. To keep the derogation, a Member need do nothing. To end it, hundreds must arrive, agree, and act, together, before recess. The vote passes if enough of you say nothing, and saying nothing is the easiest thing a parliament has ever done. I have watched them do it for years. Silence, in my file, is a yes, and I have built the whole architecture on the certainty that most people, most of the time, will decline to raise their hand. I have heard the derogation described as temporary, and I want to be honest about that word too, because honesty about small words is the only honesty a drafter has. It is temporary. It was temporary in 2021. It was temporary when it lapsed. It is temporary now, on July 6, as we revive it under urgency, and it will be temporary when it is renewed, and renewed, and renewed. Temporary is not a duration. Temporary is a promise that the ending has been scheduled, and we schedule it, faithfully, every time, for a date that arrives only to be extended. A permanent law can be repealed. A temporary one merely expires, and an expiry is so much easier to reverse than a repeal, because reviving something that has lapsed feels like maintenance, and no one marches against maintenance. I keep a printed copy of the operative article on my desk. I do not need it. I could recite the recitals in my sleep and sometimes do. I keep it because I like to look at the word in the morning, sitting there in the clause, holding up the ceiling, doing the work of an entire secret police with none of the paperwork and none of the shame. Voluntary. Four syllables holding up the reading of every private message on the continent, and holding it up so lightly that the people being read call it a safety feature and thank the providers for their care. Let me leave you with the definition, since a drafter's last duty is to the meaning of his terms. Voluntary describes the state, which has chosen, freely and without compulsion, to stop protecting you, to call that choice a favor to the children, to schedule its expiry for a date that will never come, and to require an absolute majority of the absent to take the favor back. The user was never asked. That is what the word means. I drafted it to mean that. It is the finest thing I have ever written, and no one will ever read it, because it was written precisely so that no one would have to.

Simonas (@SimonasLTU1) reported@jacalulu I would say it often hallucinates about stuff that it can do, but says otherwise. It's pretty common for me to ask it 3 times that it can use/watch Youtube for example, or to do a freaking Google search.. Or check my Gmail.. This is the main problem I'd say

Max | Ecom Email Marketing (@Max_Alexxander) reportedMany ecommerce brands are losing 6 figures a year in missed revenue. Not because they suck at email. Because no one’s seeing their emails. If your open rate is below 40%, you’ve got a deliverability problem. Here’s how to fix it (and what’s actually working in 2025): 1. Prune your inactive subs The reality: half your list probably doesn’t care. Suppress profiles who haven’t opened, clicked, bought, or weren’t active on site in the past 90–180 days. This one move will drop your Klaviyo bill and increase your open rates. 2. (Temporarily) Shift to a tiered segmentation protocol Stop batch-blasting your whole list. Start narrow → expand. Week 1–2: Only send to your 14-day engaged segment Week 3–4: Send to 30-day engaged Week 5–6: Expand to 60-day Once your deliverability is good with the 60 day engaged segment (ie >45-50% open rates) then you can start sending to your normal engaged segments. Monitor each segment’s performance before scaling volume. This rebuilds trust with inbox providers. 3. High variety of quality content Promos / discounts alone won’t cut it. Mix in education, behind-the-scenes, story-based angles, UGC… Keep it valuable enough that your audience wants to stay subscribed. 4. Verify your domain + warm your IP If you haven’t set up proper authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) Your deliverability will be hampered. Without this, Gmail sees you as a risk, and sends you to promotions or spam.

Jodie Macklin (@MacklinJodie) reported@JoeOnei59077700 @ClareCraigPath I think that is definitely an issue that can be impacting the number of signatures. It happened to me on a previous petition, no email even in junk inbox in hotmail. I now use a different gmail address when signing. I wonder how many people try to sign but can't proceed.

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedA product with only 1 follower on IndieHackers — yet reportedly making $9,000/month. That's SpamCipher. A real-time cold email delivery monitor. Here's exactly how it works: • The founder noticed a huge pain: traditional email tools only show data AFTER you send. You find out your email landed in spam days later — too late. • SpamCipher monitors delivery in real-time. It connects to services like SendGrid or Amazon SES and analyzes deliverability as you send. • It gives instant feedback: "Your email has a 60% chance of being flagged by Gmail — change the subject line." Or it auto-switches IPs if one gets blacklisted. • No sending emails itself — it's a layer on top of existing tools. Revenue model: subscription, likely mid-to-high enterprise pricing. He says the $9k/month comes from cold email teams and SaaS companies. Tech stack: Python + ML models for delivery prediction, deployed on AWS or Google Cloud. Hard parts: integrating with email provider APIs (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) which change often. And making the ML accurate — false alarms kill trust. Is this for you? Probably not unless you're technical. Email delivery is complex, and cold email can be legally tricky. But the lesson is gold: find a niche pain point where everyone else gives "after-the-fact" data — and offer real-time fixes. You don't need a big audience. Just a product that solves a real problem. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SaaS

Chris Lang (@ChrisLangSocial) reportedSo the #1 thing I'm seeing with Shopify brands right now, and I've diagnosed this twice just in the last month, is that your emails aren't even landing anymore. They're going to spam and you don't know it because your open rates look totally fine. And here's why they look fine. The machines open everything now. Everything. Apple Mail, Gmail, all of it, they pre-load your emails on their own servers before a human ever looks at it, so that open rate you're staring at, half of it's a ghost. It's not real. It's telling you everything's good while your clicks fall off a cliff and your revenue falls right behind it. So you're sitting there thinking it's your content, thinking you gotta write better subject lines, and it's not that at all. Here's what's actually happening. Those fake opens are hiding the fact that half your list is dead. And when you keep mailing dead subscribers because the numbers look fine, Gmail watches that, decides your mail is unwanted, and starts dumping you straight into spam. Your reputation craters and you never even saw it coming. That's why so many brands got quietly wrecked this spring. Wider sends, less engaged lists, and Gmail cracked down hard. And I'll tell you the part nobody wants to hear. Your agency didn't catch this because they get paid to send, they don't get paid to land. Big difference. So go pull your last 10 campaigns right now. If your opens are steady but your clicks just died, you're not boring, you're invisible. Nobody's even seeing you.

dehumanizedtarget (@dehumanized28) reported@NewMexicoDOJ Two important excel spreadsheets missing from my email this week that both were sent to my email last week really unsettled my mind and drives me nuts. They were both saved to my desktop which I modified them afterwards. They are not in Outlook or my deleted folder or are they my desktop or my recycling bin. I have never permanently deleted a file on Outlook or my Desktop since I started here. So, how do they just both disappear? They were both very important! It reminds me of my Gmail account where emails would be invisible then reappear all of which regarding my weekly floating schedule. I was late or missed work a few times from schedules that were clearly altered or missing. It got a point where I printed them from the work computers and would cross reference them! Don't tell me its me as those issues never existed with me my entire life! I am done contacting IT as its a bad look for my local division as they cannot solve these problems and its only making me look like a lunatic. The resources being deployed come from the highest level of digital and networking capabilities and is well outside their range or capability due to one set of technologies versus another one. Thats my opinion anyways of why they have yet to be identified. This is what caused me to burn a gasket earlier and go on another posting tirade!

Juan (@RicoSuavez) reported@kalaelizabeth @PlayStation They are legally required by law to do so. Microsoft also closes your account after two plus years of inactivity based on their own policies. This is due to security and privacy issues. This is literally what Gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, etc do.
