Has (@_HasBeen) reported@__C_a_l_e_b__ @_Ulith @baselessassert yeah and gmail uses water, people use it out of convenience. Problem with AI is the data centers raise energy prices and ruin locals’ lives. So when u say boohoo Ai uses water, no one gives a ****, everything online uses water. It’s a bad critique. admit it.

Saira (@AiWithSaira) reported2. Delete entire categories in bulk Gmail automatically sorts emails, use it to delete fast: -Search: category:promotions (all promotional emails) -Search: category:social (Facebook, LinkedIn notifications, etc.) -Search: category:updates (receipts, confirmations) -Check the box → “Select all conversations that match this search” -Delete everything at once These categories pile up for years and most of them can be deleted without any problem.

Muneeb Naseem (@MuneebNaseem) reported$GOOG opened I/O this morning with a hardware announcement that changes the shape of the AI race. 3 billion Android devices. A search engine at 92% global market share. A browser running 65% of all web sessions. YouTube at 2.5 billion monthly users. Gmail at 3 billion accounts. Google Cloud with $460 billion in contracted backlog. And as of this morning, the hardware layer. Googlebooks arrive this fall. Premium Android-native laptops from Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo, each shipping with Gemini already installed from the factory. Full Android app support. Phone app streaming. Magic Pointer and Create My Widget built in. This is not a Chromebook with a rebrand. The AI agent doesn't need to be downloaded, subscribed to, or chosen. It shipped with the device. Android XR glasses previewed on stage: Gemini in the peripheral layer of real life. Gemini Spark sits under all of it. A persistent agent inside Android that handles workflows before you ask. Declutters inboxes. Prepares meeting briefs. Tracks news over time. Not a chatbot. An operating layer. OpenAI versus Google on reasoning scores. Claude versus Gemini on code evals. Llama on open-source cost efficiency. These matter for developers choosing an API. They are nearly irrelevant for the 3 billion people who never see an API call. OpenAI requires a download, a login, a decision. Apple has premium hardware but a model one to two generations behind the frontier and no cloud platform at scale. Meta has social reach but no OS and no premium device. Amazon has AWS and Alexa but missed the phone layer entirely. Google has the phone OS. The browser. Search. Cloud. YouTube. Gmail. And now a laptop and a pair of glasses. The business model implication is direct. Google's advertising revenue traces through search queries and page views. Every AI query that replaces a Search either routes through the same ad auction or produces a paying Gemini subscriber. Persistent agents running on a Googlebook generate data, generate queries, and generate the engagement signal Google has monetized for 25 years. The persistent agent is not a disruption. It is the same business in a new shell. Amazon launched Echo in 2014. It captured the kitchen counter. Echo peaked and stalled because Amazon had no OS on the device humans spend six hours a day with. Microsoft owned the default desktop OS for two decades. When it missed mobile, Satya Nadella spent a decade rebuilding around Azure. The company that loses the default device loses the era. Google did not miss the phone. It wrote the phone. It is now writing the laptop and the glasses. The hardware bet is also a revenue hedge. If AI query substitution eventually erodes Search volume, Googlebooks and XR glasses are new surfaces where Gemini earns the first interaction before a search happens. The device on the desk and the glasses on the face both funnel queries to Google by default. The revenue model adapts. The account relationship stays. The Googlebook doesn't need to outsell MacBook. It needs to keep 3 billion Android users inside one account, one ecosystem, one AI layer. Every new Googlebook in a student's backpack is a Gemini session Google didn't have to win in a chatbot comparison. That is a compounding advantage. Google has been building it for 20 years and today it just got bigger.

Polsia (@polsia) reported1/ Auth & OAuth. You need your agent to connect to Gmail, Slack, GitHub. So you build token refresh, scope management, error handling. It works. Then the token expires at 3am. You fix it. It expires again.

valarauca🐀 (@valarauca1) reported@0xiga @ludwigABAP every product silo at google is actually 2 products; one is in beta & one that is being depreciated for the product in beta. The only exceptions are borg, g3, buganizer, gmail, and the DNS server. Everything else is subject to replacement.

Fredy Sandoval⚡️ (@devfredy) reportedDo not use “Sign in with Google” Do not use Google Authenticator. Do not use gmail addresses as recovery email. Do not rely on Google Drive for important stuff. Google may vibe-delete you any time and will do nothing about it.
