  CLAUDE COWORK - WHAT IS IT AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT For the last few weeks all I've been hearing is "Claude Cowork" - but most people still don't understand what it is. I'm breaking it down, and at the same time comparing it with Codex Computer from OpenAI. WHAT IS IT: A desktop application from Anthropic. Claude automates tasks directly on your computer - locally, without the cloud. It was released in January 2026, and in March they added Computer Use - now Claude can see your screen and control it. It wasn't made for coders, but more for people whose work is routine: marketers, analysts, managers, researchers. WHAT CAN IT DO: > Sees the screen and controls any application with the mouse and keyboard > Remembers context between sessions > Connects to services through MCP > All files stay local - Anthropic cannot see them and does not train on them Examples of tasks: Morning briefing from Gmail, document → spreadsheet with a single command. You can control it from your phone through Dispatch - gave it a task, left, came back to a finished result. I attached a video where you'll learn 80% of Claude Cowork's functionality in less than 20 minutes. COWORK VS CODEX COMPUTER Data: > Cowork stores everything locally on your computer > Codex sends everything through OpenAI servers - I think it's clear why that's not okay Who is it for: > Cowork is made for ordinary people - marketers, analysts, managers > Codex is designed for coders, deeply integrated with GitHub Phone: > For Cowork it's Dispatch > Codex - the ChatGPT app where you can see the live session screen Price: Both are $20/month, but Codex spends 4 times fewer tokens on the same tasks. On the other hand, Anthropic doubled Cowork limits until July 5. My choice is Cowork. Everything is local, a huge ecosystem, integrates with hundreds of services, in short, it's awesome. You can watch the video below to learn about 80% of the functionality in just a few minutes.

  There's a new Google Ads campaign type opening up for storage, and the placement that matters most is Maps. Demand Gen isn't new, but Google just made a setting available that lets you run it as Maps-only. For a hyperlocal business like self-storage, that changes the math. Here's how it's different from the Search campaigns you already run. Search captures demand that already exists. Someone types "self storage near me," you bid on that intent, you compete for the click. It works, but you're only reaching people who have already decided they need a unit. Demand Gen works earlier in the funnel. Instead of keywords, it runs on audience signals across Google's visual surfaces. Normally that means YouTube, Discover, and Gmail. The problem for storage is that most of that inventory converts poorly. Nobody leases a unit because they saw an image ad before a YouTube clip. That's what makes Maps-only worth a look. It cuts out YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and the other low-intent placements, and points your budget at the one place storage decisions actually get made. Why it fits storage: Storage is a geo-bound purchase. People choose based on what's near them, and Maps is where that choice happens. You show up visually right when someone is browsing your area, including next to competitors. You can target a tight radius around your facility's real trade area instead of a broad national feed. It's new inventory, which usually means less competition and better cost while it lasts. We're just starting to test this across some of the facilities we run. Too early to report numbers, but we are already testing this new campaign type. I'll share results once we have enough data to review.

  Yesterday got feedback that user cant able to signup. As there is no verification button on their email. when I test on my gmail it works well. then I got to know the user was yahoo. yahoo don't allow any custom styling, so it shows empty and I fixed it. Lesson learnt: Always do compatibility test in all platform. Do twice for crucial login, signup, payments.

  @TutaPrivacy The problem isn’t that Outlook, Gmail etc don’t use end to end encryption. It’s the fact that both users are required to both use @TutaPrivacy or @ProtonPrivacy , the chances of both users using the same service is unlikely, therefore NO emails are end to end by default, which leaves the situation in a mess. The only difference is Outlook and Gmail don’t really support it, or at least don’t push options for it. Tuta’s tech is different to Proton, there’s essentially not much hope. Best thing to do is send an email password protected and therefore its E2E to ANY mail provider, but then the problem becomes- how do you provide the password. Ideally over an encrypted messenger, or a call. PGP is still a very good option to this day, has many use cases.

  The AI word of the week has been "loops" — adding yet another piece of jargon to the non-technical vocabulary. This is leaving a lot of people asking: what are they, how are they different from prompts? In a lot of non-technical circles the level of grey about what the parts of agentic AI actually are (and how to use them) can be overwhelming. What's more, they're not static — as things develop, so do their uses and how they work together. Loops themselves have evolved over the last few years. So, here's a little primer to make things easier: Prompt — we know this one. It's the instruction you write for the LLM. You send it, get your output, and any tweaking happens off the back of that output. Prompts are for one-off tasks. As you build reliable ones, you reuse them by pasting them into the terminal or chat. Agent — (this one we know too) the LLM running on its own, doing a series of steps without you watching each one. You give it a goal and walk away. Call — to invoke something by name so it runs. You "call" a skill (or a loop, a tool, an MCP) by typing its name and the LLM loads it and executes the setup. When you ask your LLM to use a skill, hook or loop you are calling it. Skill — a packaged set of instructions, files, and tools the LLM loads when you call it by name. A prompt is just one-off instructions; a skill brings the working setup with it — what to read, what rules to follow, what tools it can use, what to produce. You call it once and the whole setup runs. Some people stuff all this into their CLAUDE.md, but bloating CLAUDE.md causes context issues and the LLM starts ignoring your instructions. That's why skills are for specific contexts and tasks, not general ones. The rule of thumb is: when you have a task you do over and over, with rules → make it a skill. Call it by name instead of re-explaining the rules every time you want it done. Hook — a rule that says "when X happens, do Y." It executes automatically when triggered — a file is saved, a meeting ends, a session starts — and the hook runs the action you tied to it. These are basic automations. Use them when one task is dependent on a different event. Example: You save a new invoice PDF in your invoices folder → a hook automatically triggers your expense categorization skill and logs it in your accounting sheet. Loop — a small program you write that runs a prompt for you, over and over, and checks the work was done properly. It isn't the prompt itself — it's the thing that runs the prompt without you in the middle. Loops are more complicated than hooks and are not prompts. Where a hook does one thing from start to end when triggered, a loop initiates a process from start to end automatically at a time you define. Where a prompt is instructions, a loop is the directive to use those instructions. Use it for repeatable tasks where you're confident in the output and want them running without starting each one yourself. The loop runs the skill, checks the work, stops when the rules say so. Example: A daily "process inbox" loop that runs every morning at 9 a.m., summarizes new emails, extracts action items, self-verifies, and only pings you if something needs your attention. Loops only work if you set them up properly. A few things worth understanding before you do: - Self-verify — a step inside a loop where the LLM checks its own work against the rules before saving or moving on. Without it, the loop produces confident garbage. With it, the loop catches and fixes its own mistakes. - Simple loop vs supervisor loop — a simple loop is one LLM doing one task on repeat. A supervisor loop is a top loop that spins up several workers in parallel, each running its own prompt, then combines their output into one result. - Token budget — a hard cap on how much the loop can spend before it has to stop. Tokens are what the AI charges for, like minutes on a phone bill. Without a cap, a stuck loop can rack up hundreds overnight. Remember when you write you see words, the Agent sees tokens. - Orchestration vs execution — the loop orchestrates: decides what runs, when, and in what order. The LLM executes: runs the actual prompt and produces the output. Two different jobs. - .md files (markdown) — a plain text file the LLM can read. This is where most of your directions for an AI — instructions, rules, context — live. It's how you tailor an LLM to your project. Common ones: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md (depends on the LLM you're using) — master instructions for a folder or project. They live in the folder you launch the LLM from. The LLM reads them automatically when it starts working. These are the house rules for your project or workspace. SKILL.md — the instruction file at the heart of a skill. Tells the LLM what the skill is for, when to use it, and how. ADR (Architecture Decision Record) — a decision written as a rule the AI can apply. Format: what was decided, why, and what to do or not do because of it. ADRs are a development artefact, so most non-technical users don't touch them — but using them can substantially improve the output of your agents. If there's a rule you want the AI to always check its work against → write it as an ADR in a .md file. Any skill or loop can then check its output against the ADR before saving. This is one way of "harnessing" the agent — making sure its output matches what you're actually building, from meeting notes to full products. SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) — the process for a recurring task, written step by step so the AI can follow it. One SOP per repeating job, just like any standard process. The skill running the job reads the SOP for the steps. Note on terminology: The concepts above are fairly universal, but exact names, file conventions, and implementation details vary by tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). You might see CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or different triggers depending on which system you're using. Other things you might be reading/hearing: CLI (Command Line Interface) — your terminal or Command Prompt window, where you type commands instead of clicking buttons. Most coding AIs live in the CLI. MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the standard that lets the LLM talk to outside tools and services. Without MCP, the LLM only sees what you paste in. With MCP, it can fetch your Gmail, read a Notion page, update a Google Doc, post to Slack — directly, on its own. How they fit togetherPrompts live inside skills. Skills live inside loops. Loops initiate via hooks or schedules. All of them read .md files — CLAUDE.md for the house rules, SOPs for the process, ADRs for the rules they have to follow. The prompt is the smallest piece. Everything else is a way of wrapping, packaging, or triggering prompts, so you don't have to type them in by hand.These are the concepts. The specifics — where files live, what triggers what, whether you write a loop or call a built-in one — vary by tool. If i've forgotten anything or you need more info let me know. #AgenticAI #AI

  Hot take: Most people don’t want better grammar. They want to stop thinking about grammar. Nobody opens Gmail thinking: “I hope I can fix some commas today.” They just want their messy thoughts to become clear and sendable. Curious where others stand on this: Would you rather have: A) AI that points out mistakes one by one B) One button that instantly makes the entire message clearer

Boohoo, I'll tell ya, decentralization and anarchy mean lawlessness. Boohoo, if the admin were decentralized, the community would not strike me down before I'd say a sticker.

  if you're outside the US and your tiktok is showing your posts to the wrong country, your epc is dead before you write a single hook us traffic converts at multiples of most other geos on affiliate offers. you can have the best video in your niche and make nothing because the algorithm is showing it to viewers who can't or won't convert on a us-targeted offer here's the setup i use to target us traffic from outside the us. it takes under an hour and once it's done it's done get a spare phone. any old iphone or android. you film on your main device and transfer the footage over. the spare is only for uploading put a us sim in it. t-mobile, any carrier. it doesn't need an active plan. a deactivated sim works. the phone will show "no service" and that's fine factory reset the spare phone with the sim already in it, then boot it up clean turn on a vpn before you do anything else and connect to a us city. this prevents the shadowban. the device has to read as us from the first moment it touches the apps download tiktok only after the vpn is running. to confirm the device reads as us, go to the login screen and pick "log in with phone number." if the country code defaults to +1, you're set register with an email, not a phone number. gmail or yahoo. a phone number ties the account to your real geo post your first video with the vpn active, let it get some traction, then check the analytics. if the majority of your views are coming from the us, the setup worked never open the apps or upload without the vpn on. one upload on your real connection and you lose the us targeting on that account. vpn is on every single time or the account is burned

  3. Invisible Tracking Pixels The Situation: You open an email from a marketer, glance at it for three seconds, and delete it. Two hours later, you get a follow-up email from the same person saying, "Hey, noticed you took a look at my last email!" It feels like magic, but it’s actually invasive surveillance. The Mechanics: Marketers embed a 1x1 transparent pixel (literally a single, invisible dot of light) inside the body of the email. When you open the message, your email client has to "download" that pixel from the marketer's server to display it. When that download happens, the server logs your exact IP address, the type of device you are holding, your geographic location, and the precise second you opened the email. They use this behavioral data to time their next spam attack perfectly. The Fix: You must cut off their surveillance cameras. Go to Gmail Settings > General > Images. Switch the toggle to "Ask before displaying external images." Now, your emails will load as raw text first. The tracking pixel is blocked in the cloud until you explicitly click "display images," blinding the marketers completely.
