  @mdreinders @bdsams It's pretty garbage for work account use cases as well, at least in my case. It nags you daily with summaries, which are basically just prompts that you could have used yourself from the left sidebar or ribbon menu. Copilot in Outlook is really horrible (overall). It can't find emails. It can't make basic changes to the emails I've written. It simply doesn't follow my instructions most of the time. "Can you just fix grammar" > proceeds to rewrite the entire email. Gemini in Gmail is also pretty trash. I do not understand how AI in email can be so bad, as it's a pretty good use case for AI, imho

  Firstly financial institutions have to inform both regulators and customers about any maintenance. If they don't inform, they could have fines or get sued. 8 hour maintenance doesn't mean 8 hour downtime. All other tech services including AWS, Gmail, etc can have downtimes and not answerable to anyone. No AWS customer ever got any compensation when it went down. Next is most critical financial transactions work through the maintenance (most monetary txns). Even most web or mobile applications work too with concurrency and parallel leg deployment. Lastly, FI have a balance between cost and modernity. They don't need to have every shiny new toy in the market. 50 year old mainframes work perfectly well with just peripheral API stack instead of wholesale cloud migration.

  These capitalistic tech giants astonish me. They handed me a shiny free Gmail service, stealthily vacuum up my life, then either feed the data into their own next product or sell it to whoever pays. They want a front-row seat to almost everything I do—and then they have the nerve to charge me a subscription for the privilege. Classic move: invent the problem, monetize the “solution.” The whole racket of capitalists is so brazen it almost deserves a ceremonial send-off: wrap the lot of them in their own terms of service and drop them into the deepest trench the ocean has. Anyway. Time to say goodbye to Gmail.

  @MSFT365Status I have been down since 9:00 a.m. this morning! I own a IT technology business and I need to have my email up and running. Unfortunately, I had to use my Gmail account with a disclaimer at the bottom of the email saying that Microsoft's email was not working and therefore that's the difference in the email address. It is not acceptable for this to be down! Microsoft is big enough to handle any situation that comes down the line and this is a perfect example of Microsoft not keeping up with whatever happened. Was it an update? I don't think so! Was it a hack? I don't know! FIX IT!

  @GergelyOrosz Really? When tech companies have an outage they sort of shrug and the economy goes on. AWS out - “we’re sorry” Robinhood down - “we made mistakes” Microsoft/Gmail down - “we’re working on it” Bank can’t dispense money? Bank runs, economic fall out, congressional hearings.

  @cartierfamilyZ Why are people so pressed about data centers all of a sudden? All of your online information from X account, to gmail, any online storage, website etc is stored in a data center. We've had data centers for decades, all of a sudden they're an issue? Take a deep breath, and tune out the idiotic noise.

  @nicdunz It's cool. You can just utilise the bug in their billing to get access to other accounts that they won't fix despite it being on the dev forums. I used this on a Gmail account to "breach" my own business account for a proof of concept to get them to fix it. Didn't need to provide consent or anything. Just sitting there draining my own business account via a gmail.

  I thought I’d have trouble staying up for work (start a new stretch tomorrow night) but my Gmail filled up (???) and I had to delete 1000s of emails

  @CreeK_ @MSFT365Status Gmail had a self inflicted outage on Apr 8, and is garbage for business (I've used it at several companies).

  ChatGPT can now read ALL your Gmail accounts at once. Work inbox. Personal inbox. That old one you forgot about. Until this week, it could only see ONE. The rest were locked out. That just changed. And barely anyone noticed. Here's the setup (it's stupidly simple): Go to plugins. Pick Gmail. Click the gear icon. Hit "Connect another account." Sign in. Done. Repeat for as many accounts as you want. Calendar and Contacts work the same way. Now try this one prompt: "Review my emails and give me a summary of the last 3 days." It reads everything. Tells you what matters. Tells you what to handle FIRST. No inbox dread. Just a clean starting point. And the questions that were impossible a week ago: "Find that email from Sarah." Work or personal? Doesn't matter. It checks both. "What do I still owe replies to?" Across every account. One answer. "When am I actually free this week?" Both calendars. The REAL answer. No double-booking. Two smart habits: Start with read-only permissions. Let it summarize first. Open up sending later, once you trust it. And name the inbox you mean. "Work inbox" gets you a clean answer, not a mixed one. The biggest win isn't the summaries. It's never logging out and back in again. Stop checking your inbox. Let your inbox report to you.

  @TechsavvyCS It was surprising that so many people were experiencing this problem. With a simple automation set up in Gmail, I redirect the incoming email to Telegram, and by using a long ringtone in Telegram, I can wake up even while asleep and deliver the item. Updated your research
