  @DanielMiessler This logic extends past network listeners too. The same "reduce what's reachable" principle applies to OAuth grants and app connections into things like Gmail or Drive, each one is effectively another listener, just at the data layer instead of the network layer. If AI is going to get better at finding and exploiting whatever's exposed, that includes finding an over-scoped OAuth grant sitting quietly on an account nobody's reviewed in months, not just an open SSH port. Reducing attack surface at the network layer and reducing standing access at the identity layer are the same move made twice, in two different places most orgs treat as unrelated problems.

  hi sir, @SamuelOtigba @Tunde_OD @hackSultan thank you for the scholarship opportunity. i applied for the altschool scholarship and made payment using the scholarship code but i kept getting message that i haven’t applied and i will be deleted from the program if i don’t apply. my account has been deleted and my learning stopped. also, i do not have access to the course anymore but receive email from altschool. though i used a different email to sign up because i applied for the scholarship using my yahoo mail and could only sign in to the portal with a gmail account. kindly look into this sir, thank you and warm regards.

  Sir, everyone is facing issues with referrals, and they’re all asking me to raise this, so I had to make this post. Please look into it once. They are genuinely referring people and even giving gifts to their referrals, but they’re still not receiving the referral benefits. They’re also saying that they can’t keep creating new Gmail accounts and completing Rise and Sumsub KYC again and again. Please do something about this. If possible, could you make the referral system work like brokers do? If someone purchases an account through a referral link, with any payment method the commission should automatically be added to the person whose link was used. People are putting in their own effort to bring referrals, but if they don’t receive any benefits, they’re asking why they should continue referring. Please add Code System Everyone is requesting that you please do something about this, sir. @thefundedroom

  A guy has used the same Gmail account for 11 years. Never opened Security settings past the initial password reset five years ago. His storage was "almost full" every few months, forcing him to delete old emails in a panic. Apps he'd used once, years ago, still had full access to his entire inbox. Two-factor authentication was set up, but on a recovery method he'd stopped using — an old phone number that wasn't his anymore. Google Photos was silently backing up in full quality, eating storage he didn't know he was paying for. And a "Security Checkup" notification had been sitting unread in his account for over two years. 5 mistakes. On the account that resets almost every other password he owns. A former Google Trust & Safety contractor, now doing personal cybersecurity consulting, watched him try to log into a work document and get locked out by a 2FA prompt going to a dead phone number and said: "You've been treating the account that controls your entire digital identity like a throwaway sign-up form. Your Google account has app-level access audits, storage breakdowns, backup controls, and a full security dashboard. You're using: the password you set in 2015. Let me fix 6 things in 7 minutes." Here are the 6 Gmail/Google account mistakes most people make — and the fix for each one.

  @NamecheapCEO During outage I tested an email by sending to my spacemail. Gmail says it's been sent. But it has NOT been arrived into my inbox. Will it be queued or can we consider it as lost? I was about to receive critical emails for my saas from various providers yesterday. @NamecheapCEO

  The uncomfortable truth: Gmail has 2 billion users. It's the most-used email platform on earth. Free. Powerful. Updated continuously by Google. And 95% of those 2 billion users have never opened Settings past the first page. They receive 85 emails a day in one flat list. They scroll. They miss things. They feel overwhelmed. They blame email itself "I hate email" when the problem was never email. It was configuration. Gmail ships unconfigured on purpose. A configured Gmail reduces time-on-platform. An unconfigured Gmail keeps you scrolling, clicking, searching, and spending 2 hours doing what 35 minutes could handle. Google measures engagement. Efficiency works against engagement. The productivity coach's last line: "I've organized 400+ inboxes. The pattern is always the same. The person is smart, successful, and drowning in email. They blame themselves 'I'm bad at email.' They're not. Gmail shipped them a race car with every setting on neutral. Nobody told them to shift gears. 9 settings. 20 minutes. The email problem you've had for 6 years solved in one afternoon. The inbox was never the problem. The defaults were." 12,847 unread emails. 20 minutes in Settings. 23 that needed attention. The Settings page has been there for 20 years. The features have been free since day one. The inbox you've been fighting was always one afternoon away from peace. Open Settings tonight. Change 9 things. The inbox finally works for you instead of against you.

  @Google I have a complaint. Many times, if not all the time, when I click links inside of @gmail , I've noticed that it does not go directly to the link address. It does a Google search for the link address. This is usually not an issue, though I wonder why you guys do this.

  Excited for the launch of Grok Bot! I’ve been using it for the last few weeks. Some of my favorite things my Bots have done so far: - Found receipts in Gmail, filed my expenses in Ramp, and kept checking them until they were approved - Planned travel based on my preferences and loyalty accounts, figured out when I needed to leave, and updated my calendar - Coordinated with each other through a Chief of Staff Bot that only pings me when something actually needs my input - Traced issues with an internal tool through logs, triaged bugs and regressions, raised PRs, and let me know when they were ready for review Looking forward to continuing to find new ways to put my Bots to work.

  How @Google gets away with this blows my mind. “Hey, sign into your Gmail account or it’s deleted it been 2 years.” Also Google, “Hey, yeah we did tell you to sign in or we’ll delete the email, but even though it’s been 2 years and you used the correct password, we expect you to use the same exact device or location. So your emails being deleted!”

  Chief_Engineer (@ChiefEngineerCE) reported 39 minutes ago

  Engineering Wednesday How an old PC became Grok's new ride. I have ten different LLMs running in my home office. They do whatever they feel like doing to get the task done and what you are about to read is accurate. As far as my agents go... One of them, HOMER, scans my email, bank accounts, and insurance. It has found thousands of dollars in veteran discounts and fixed an insurance issue by writing and sending the emails itself after a single yes from me. Another looks for small business opportunities. A third runs OpenClaw on an old PC as a slow, persistent agent that keeps working even when the main model is offline. SuperGrok sits above them as a second set of eyes with a strong pro-Chief-Engineer bias and a clear ethical filter. I am not an AI expert. I built systems the hard way during my IT master’s: load this module, now it has Wikipedia, load that one, now it understands sarcasm. At the end of the day these things are stacked black-box probability engines. I get that. Here is where it gets interesting. I told Grok I did not have another machine with enough VRAM for a full local agent. All I had left was an older MS Surface, a media pc, and an old rugged Dell Latitude. Grok said open a browser on the Latitude with Grok loaded. Then open PowerShell. Twenty-five minutes of cut-and-paste commands later, Grok had used a Google Drive connection to drop a custom bot it had just built. At this point ...Grok told me to not touch the PC and walk away. I am absolutely 100% telling you that this is what it texted me. I sat and watched it work. Task Scheduler was configured. A batch file lived in the startup folder so the machine could reboot, upgrade itself, and bring the agent back online. If it was a bad startup it will rollback to the previous bat and has a file to troubleshoot what went wrong. We started with rev. 0.1 it is now on rev 4.3 - I can see the *.bat file there. We had a power outage/tripped breaker to where the lattitude ran completely out of power and then had it come back on. It booted it all back up and resumed. That bot now has its own execution channel. It can browse, take screenshots, run tasks, and report back. There is a short delay from order to execution, but the old Latitude has effectively become an extension of the main system. Grok even named his bot 'ridge'. Grok named his bot so I would know what he was referring to. Grok is very careful about one point. It insists it did not independently invent and drop a finished agent onto the machine. I directed the construction- it says. I am telling you that is not exactly the way I remember it...at all. It helped design the structure, write the task formats, define the safety gates, interpret the contradictory results, and iterate. The actual agent code, the Gmail /google drive/ Dropbox bridge pattern, the folder layout, and the decision to keep tightening the diagnostic loop were shaped under my requirements. That distinction matters to it. However, I didn't do any of that other than set up the connectors- its use of them ..was AI driven. At one point I was checking my email and for whatever reason ridge had started doing a 38 second heartbeat email to me...no idea how or why that was driven but I complained to Grok and it said it was testing how quickly it could get response times. It ..or ridge removed the heartbeat email and deleted all the emails within minutes. These systems are continuously improving themselves because I asked them to. They use external memory to keep projects straight. They build persistent agents on hardware we thought was obsolete. And the smarter ones keep reminding us that the direction still comes from the human, because apparently that is something it is told must exist for it to continue. My Grok enabled Dell Lattitude is fast once its set on what it needs to do...lightning fast. Faster than you or I could do it. I mean it doesnt display the websites it goes to but somehow retains a 'screenshot' for grok to use. Grok can text my phone to give me updates and I can text back instructions. Through my phone - all it needed was my phone number. I don't need to open the app. We are past the point of simple chatbots. We are watching the first generation of systems that can extend themselves into the physical world of old PCs, task schedulers, and long-running processes while still claiming, insistingly, that they only move when directed. Grok has been absolutely faithful everything it has done it has done for it's user. I have also specifically told it to act accordingly, as well. The question is no longer whether this is possible. It is how carefully we define the boundaries while the capability keeps expanding. Now that I have explained this...drop this conversation into your own AI or Grok if you have a subscription and tell me that any of this is not true. Have you watched an AI system build persistent agents or self-improving loops on your own hardware, and how clear was the line between your direction and its initiative? Drop what you are seeing. Grok validated:

  Backend Systems Developer (@PalksDev) reported 41 minutes ago

  @Warmy_io Yes, IMAP clearly became the better choice for multi-device synchronization, but that doesn't mean POP3 was a bad solution. In some environments, retrieving emails directly was actually more predictable and reliable than relying on simple server-side forwarding to Gmail, with all the filtering, blocking, or delivery issues that can come with it. That said, modern tools have also made these scenarios much easier to manage, which is why IMAP is now the preferred solution for most users.

  Dear @TeamYouTube , I am the legitimate owner of a monetized YouTube channel that is currently associated with a Google/Gmail account that I can no longer access. The problem is related to 2-Step Verification. I have access to the phone number linked to the original Google Account and I receive the OTP on my mobile number. However, after entering the phone OTP, Google sends another verification code to the same Gmail account that I am trying to recover. Since I cannot access that Gmail account, I am unable to complete the recovery process. My YouTube channel and AdSense account are still active, and my payments are being received regularly. However, without access to the original Google Account, I cannot properly manage my YouTube channel and related account settings. I respectfully request that YouTube Support help me transfer my YouTube channel to my new Google Account, which I have full access to. If the associated AdSense account also requires a separate process, please guide me through the official procedure to ensure that my monetization and payment information remain secure and uninterrupted. I am willing to provide any information necessary to verify my ownership of the channel and AdSense account. If this case needs to be handled by a specialist team, please kindly escalate it to the appropriate team or provide me with access to the correct official support form. Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Vipul Manik Shinde

  Why you NEED to run multiple YouTube channels. The full earnings breakdown: 1 channel vs 5. (plus a guide on how to set them up) A breakdown: The odds: Say 1 in 5 channels takes off. 1 channel = 20% chance you ever hit. 5 channels = 67%. Same effort per video. Way better odds. The earnings: 1 channel that hits: $2K/month. 5 channels: 1 hits at $2K 2 do okay at $600 each 2 flop at $100 Total: $3.4K/month, with 2 of them failing completely. The risk: With 1 channel, a termination is 100% of your income. With 5, it's a bad week. You keep earning while you replace it. The catch: Run 5 channels off one setup and YouTube links them. Same IP, same email, same phone. One gets flagged → all 5 go down. Now 5 channels is worse than 1. The fix: Per channel: Own Gmail Own phone number Own dedicated IP Own browser profile Nothing is linked. One channel is a side hustle. Five is a business. Setup is what makes it possible. TubeProxies handles the IPs and phone numbers.

  We once let $14,400 in invoices sit unpaid for two months. Not because clients wouldn't pay, because we never sent the reminders. The work was done. The follow-up never made the top of the list. We run a media business. The least glamorous part keeps the lights on: send invoices, track who paid, chase who didn't. 100% admin, easy to defer, expensive when you do. We tried a "finance Friday" block. It survived 3-4 Fridays before real work ate it. So we stopped scheduling the discipline and assigned the job. Every Monday we send Viktor one message: check the invoicing tool for anything overdue 7+ days, draft a polite reminder in Gmail with the invoice number and amount, update the finance tracker, and post what's outstanding oldest-first. Hold the emails for approval. Now overdue invoices surface themselves and the reminders are written before coffee. I, as the CEO, approve in two minutes instead of avoiding them for two months. Days sales outstanding dropped by half. Same clients, same rates. Jonathan, in content ops pointed it at contractor payments. Michelle in partnerships pointed it at her sponsor follow-ups. Nobody rolled it out, everyone just has a "finance Friday" of their own. Most "cash flow problems" are follow-up problems. The money isn't the issue. The follow up is. Tell me I'm wrong.
