  If 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.

  Everyone keeps calling MCP the "USB-C for AI." That's actually a pretty good analogy. Before USB-C, every device needed a different cable. One for your phone. Another for your camera. Another for your laptop. AI tools used to have the same problem. Every app had its own custom integration. Want your AI to use Gmail? Build a Gmail integration. Want it to use GitHub? Build another one. Slack? Another. Notion? Another. MCP changes that. Instead of every AI model learning a different way to talk to every app, apps expose a standard interface. The AI learns one protocol. Then it can work with thousands of compatible tools. Think of it like this: 🔌 USB-C standardized hardware connections. 🤖 MCP standardizes AI connections. That's why so many companies are adopting it. Not because it makes models smarter... Because it makes connecting models to the real world dramatically simpler. Once you understand MCP, you'll realize it's less about AI... and more about making integrations finally speak the same language. #ai #llm #mcp

  More MEPs voted NO than YES. It passed anyway. 314 voted to kill EU Chat Control. 276 voted to keep it. The measure survived because rejecting it required an absolute majority of 361, not just a majority of those present. Absences counted as support. Abstentions counted as support. It was rushed through on an urgent procedure the day before summer recess when attendance is lowest and attention is elsewhere. US tech companies can now scan your private messages without a warrant or any suspicion. Gmail. Instagram DMs. Snapchat. Discord. Xbox. iCloud Mail. Facebook Messenger. This is how rights actually disappear. Not in one dramatic moment. In procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone is watching Tehran. How to protect yourself. Use end-to-end encrypted apps. Signal and WhatsApp were explicitly exempted and cannot be scanned by design. Move sensitive conversations there. Abandon unencrypted platforms for private matters. Gmail, Instagram DMs, Snapchat and Discord are now legally scannable. Turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. Disable iCloud backup for iMessage to keep it truly encrypted. The lesson is old but permanent. Wherever you can, own the tool instead of borrowing it. Privacy is no longer a default. It is now a decision you have to make deliberately. Follow @Eyuskant for analysis that cuts through the noise

  A man was about to delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. Reason? 400 spam emails every day. • Fake receipts • Phishing scams • Extortion emails • Endless junk He moved his cursor to Delete Account. Then a coworker stopped him. "Don't delete your Gmail. Fix what attackers are exploiting." She showed him 22 overlooked Gmail settings that dramatically reduced spam. Most people never touch them. Here's the playbook. 🧵

  You changed your phone number last year. Someone else has it now. Every time your bank, Gmail, or WhatsApp sends a code to that number, they get it. Not you. Princeton tested 259 recycled US numbers. 171 could still log into someone's old accounts. Here's how to fix it in 10 minutes 👇

  Chat Control 1.0 passed without a single MEP changing their mind. The vote that killed it in March and the vote that revived it in July had almost the same numbers, the difference was a procedural rule nobody outside Brussels was watching. Run the actual mechanics, because the “passed by default” framing is doing real work here. In March, the European Parliament voted 311 against, 228 in favor, rejecting an extension of the temporary law that lets platforms like Gmail, Snapchat, and Facebook Messenger voluntarily scan for known CSAM. That should have ended it. Instead, the EU Council adopted the Commission’s original text as a second-reading position in July, which triggered a different legal threshold entirely: Parliament could now only block it with an absolute majority of all 720 members, 361 votes, not simply more votes against than for. In the actual July vote, 314 MEPs opposed it, more than opposed it in March, and it still passed, because absences and abstentions count as support under that rule. Here’s what the amendment actually changed, and it matters more than the “chat control” branding suggests. MEPs explicitly exempted end-to-end encrypted services like WhatsApp and Signal from the law’s scope. This wasn’t a new concession; true end-to-end encryption already made server-side scanning technically impossible, since neither the platform nor anyone but the two parties involved holds the decryption key. What the exemption formally rules out is any future attempt to extend this specific temporary law into encrypted spaces, not a rollback of protections that were previously in place there. The law that did pass applies only to platforms that can already access message content directly, Gmail, Snapchat, Messenger, Skype, Xbox, using hash-matching against known CSAM databases, AI classification for new material, and text analysis for grooming patterns. It authorizes this scanning; it does not require it. Supporters, including the rapporteur who backed the extension, argue the alternative is a legal gap that stops platforms from continuing detection work that has directly led to arrests and rescues. Critics, including privacy researchers and MEPs like Markéta Gregorová, argue the procedural route used to revive a rejected bill undermines Parliament’s own rules regardless of the underlying merits of CSAM detection itself. The permanent framework, Chat Control 2.0, is still being negotiated, and it’s the version that would introduce mandatory client-side scanning even on encrypted platforms, the change privacy advocates consider the actual red line. This vote didn’t decide that fight. It just kept the temporary, voluntary version alive while it continues.

  huge win for one of my AI Concierge clients this week. we 100% automated a task that used to take her 2 hours to do. she's in charge of facilitating a 1:1 connections program for a 50-person mastermind. -pulling active members from Circle -excluding cancellations -pairing everyone with someone new -logging pairs in a google sheets -drafting 25 intro emails -triple checking pairings all manual. so we rebuilt the entire process as 2 claude skills in cowork: 1. Connected Circle (their community platform) via MCP so Claude can read member records and tags: active, cancelled, opted out of 1:1s 2. Hit a wall immediately. Claude's native Google Drive connector can create and read Sheets but can't edit existing ones. Swapped in Composio as the workaround and it read/wrote the sheet perfectly. 3. Second wall: the spreadsheet was link-shared, so it was invisible to a title search. Pasted the URL directly and gave the admin account editor access. Fixed. 4. Claude parsed the entire matchup history (405 past pairings) and built a never-repeat check into the skill. Every pair is verified brand new. 5. Ran a supervised test first: it appended a clearly marked test row, confirmed the write landed, then deleted it. 6. First real run: 50 members pulled, 25 unique pairs computed, grid updated in the sheet, 25 Gmail drafts created. now she types one slash command a month, reviews the drafts, hits send. 2 hours down to 5 minutes. took us about an hour total to automate this end to end.

  Arthur verboon (@ArthurVerboon) reported 34 minutes ago

  @MarioBojic Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.

  @TouhouEnjoyer_ I think it depends on how you're being "hit on" if it's a simple "can I get your number/gmail" and leaving it at that, I don't see much reason to complain. But if it's the kind of "hit on" where someone was folloing them around for a while and wouldn't stop that's an an issue.

  A guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats. He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace." His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder. "Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes." Here's what she showed him:

  Most builders still believe you need code to create real AI agents. One tool inside Claude proves otherwise. Open Projects and paste a system prompt. It runs five steps automatically: research the latest credible sources, select the strongest angle, build a detailed outline with 7 sections and 21 key points, write a full 2,000-3,000 word article, then review quality and fix weaknesses. A simple request now delivers a polished piece in minutes. Point the file agent at any folder of PDFs — contracts, reports, research papers. It reads every document, extracts five-bullet summaries, pulls the three key actions, and compiles one master file sorted by date. Schedule the morning agent for 7:00 AM. It scans Gmail since 5 PM yesterday, sorts emails into action required, FYI only, or ignore, drafts replies for urgent items, checks your calendar, notes attendees, and saves a complete briefing on your desktop. You wake up to everything already organized. No coding required. Just clear workflows that execute relentlessly. This is how smart operators use AI agents today.

  OPENAI SHIPPED GPT-5.6 AND CHATGPT WORK. THE REAL WEAPON IS PRICE, NOT IQ. OpenAI shipped two things today. One of them is a costume change. GPT-5.6 landed as three models. ChatGPT Work is a new agent on top. The feeds say "new agent does your work." The real launch is the price sheet. Sol, the flagship, costs $5 per million input tokens and $30 output. That's not flagship pricing. That's what you paid for a mid-tier model a year ago. The gate half the feeds skipped Context first. Two weeks ago the US government cut GPT-5.6 access down to a small group of vetted partners over national security. The gate held about 12 days. Restrictions lifted July 8, public release July 9. Same day SpaceXAI shipped Grok 4.5. The frontier now ships when the government clears it, not when the model is ready. Anthropic went through the exact same thing with Fable and Mythos in June. A pattern, not a one-off. Three models, price as the weapon GPT-5.6 is three models, not one. Sol is the flagship. Terra is the everyday workhorse. Luna is cheap and fast. Price per million tokens, in/out: Sol $5/$30, Terra $2.50/$15, Luna $1/$6. Terra matches GPT-5.5 quality at half the cost. Luna is the cheapest entry in the line. Altman told CNBC Sol is 54% more token-efficient on agentic coding. That's the message. Not "smarter." "Cheaper for the same result." And ultra: a mode inside Sol that spins up multiple agents in parallel and hands subtasks to submodels. The market counts token bills, not benchmarks. Enterprise thinks spend first now. OpenAI heard it and made price the argument. Today's real launch is unit economics, not intelligence. "Sol beats Fable 5, Luna beats Opus 4.8 at two-thirds the cost" are OpenAI's own benchmarks. Until independent runs, treat them as marketing. ChatGPT Work is Codex in a suit Now the "new agent." ChatGPT Work runs on Codex and GPT-5.6. It moves across your apps and files, stays on a project for hours, breaks it into steps, finishes on its own. Output: docs, sheets, slides, web apps. Inside sits a Unified Plugins Directory: Google Drive, Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, GitHub, Canva, Dropbox, more. Call one with "@" or let the agent pick the source. Sounds familiar. This is OpenAI's second run at plugins. The first was 2023 and it flopped. Brockman admitted the models weren't ready back then. Honest read: hard to tell what's actually new. Scheduled Tasks, Computer Use, connectors already lived in ChatGPT and Codex. Long tasks and data sources worked before too. The real move isn't features. It's consolidation: on desktop, OpenAI is merging Codex and ChatGPT into one super app and putting Codex in front of people who don't code. The Anthropic mirror Here's the tell. This is the exact play Anthropic ran with Claude Code -> Cowork. Take a dev agent, strip the "for coders" label, hand it to knowledge workers. Cowork just hit web and mobile, timed to get ahead of this. Two labs, one bet: whoever owns the desktop app that touches your files and apps owns the knowledge-work layer. Chat is the storefront. The desktop is the land grab. What a practitioner does with it One: rebuild pipelines around price tiers. Route bulk work to Luna and Terra. Keep Sol and ultra for the 10% that needs the ceiling. Economics is a routing problem now, not a single-model choice. Two: the real unlock is the desktop with local file access, not the web. Free tier gets ChatGPT Work on desktop right away. Web and mobile roll by tier: Pro, Enterprise, Edu first, Plus and Business next. Three: billing is usage-based and shares one pool with Codex, ChatGPT for Excel, and Workspace Agents. Count tokens before, not after. A complex task burns quota quietly. Security: OpenAI touts Auto-Review, where senior models check important actions before they run, and claims it blocked 100% of protected-data extraction attempts in red-teaming. 100% in a lab is zero confirmations in ****. Test it yourself. Sober read The model war moved from IQ to unit economics. The product war moved from chat to the desktop that holds your files. Testers are already posting "best model I've touched." Maybe. That's day-one sentiment, not fact. The real scoreboard isn't a benchmark. It's the "AI spend" line in an enterprise budget. That's a market you can actually read. The window is the next couple weeks, before prices settle and everyone re-routes spend. Rebuild your routing around three models now and you enter the quarter with a smaller bill for the same work. Everyone else reads the thread and changes nothing.

  Hey @Google / @googlecalendar I find it incredibly frustrating that when someone proposes a new time in a Google Calendar invite, when it comes to my Gmail account, I can't see the proposed time.

  If you're in an interview with Google, and they ask about your favorite Google product, it is not small talk. This is where a lot of people give an answer like, “I use Gmail every day,” and then they stop there like the job is done. That is not an answer. That is a testimonial. If you pick a product, explain the problem it solves, why it works, what tradeoffs you notice, what type of user it serves, and how it connects to the role you want. If you’re interviewing for engineering, talk like someone who thinks about systems. If you’re interviewing for product, talk like someone who understands users. If you’re interviewing for sales, support, marketing, or strategy, connect it to the business. Do not fanboy over the product. Analyze it like someone who could help build or improve it. The power move is making the interviewer feel like you can think inside the product.
