  @jasonfried Email with stages is obvious in hindsight. Gmail trained everyone to use unread as a broken task manager.

  On Friday night I had two Uber Eats orders from the same restaurant cancelled back-to-back, each after waiting ~45 minutes I was refunded for both, but frontline support refused to give me anything for the two wasted hours I told ChatGPT Work not to stop until it got me some kind of compensation, then let it handle the rest 15 minutes of active work and ~2.5 hours of background follow-up later, it got me $95.46 in Uber Cash here’s the full sequence: 6:11 PM: first order cancelled after a ~45 minute wait. I was refunded, but got nothing for the wasted time 6:19 PM: I told ChatGPT Work to get me some kind of consolation and not back down. It opened a support case and asked for $20 in Uber Cash 6:22 PM: the first agent refused any credit or promo. ChatGPT rejected the resolution and asked for a supervisor, then tried a promo, fee waiver, Uber One extension, or membership adjustment instead 6:31 PM: a second agent also refused compensation. ChatGPT kept the case open and got it transferred to the Uber One team 7:18 PM: my second order was also cancelled after another ~45 minute wait. I was refunded again, but still received no compensation. I told ChatGPT to keep going 7:25 PM: ChatGPT opened a separate Uber One case covering both failures, raised the ask to $30, and pushed the agent to transfer it to a specialist 7:33 PM: ChatGPT submitted a separate written complaint with both cancellation times, the second order ID, and my annual Uber One membership details 7:34 PM: ChatGPT confirmed my Uber Wallet was still at $0 and set up background checks across both support cases, Gmail, and the wallet 7:50 PM: an Uber specialist approved $40.62 for the first cancellation and $54.84 for the second, totaling $95.46 in Uber Cash 8:44 PM: ChatGPT found the response, verified the credit in my actual Uber Wallet, marked the goal complete, and shut down its own follow-up automation credit where it’s due: this was a genuinely frustrating experience, but Uber ultimately made it right (& then some tbh) and treated me like a longtime, frequent customer

  Founders defend their calendar like a moat and bleed three hours a day into their inbox. Built Dawnbrief to fix that — it watches Gmail overnight, drafts in your voice, chases stalled threads, books meetings. Sixty-second review, nothing leaves without your tap. Coming soon.

  @infosec_james 100% and completely practical for elderly parents who get confused why Google on tv would ask them to sign in when they signed into gmail 4 days ago from their laptop. I know mom, it’s stupid, let’s get the book out snd sign you in.

  i ran a prospect list through a scoring tool. 89 out of 89 contacts came back clean. then i opened the actual list. one contact was using a Gmail address. one company had been closed for months. there were duplicates sitting three rows apart. the tool checks for bounces. it doesn't check if the person is a real fit for what you're selling. a "clean" list and a strategic list are two completely different things. tools catch deliverability problems. only your eyes catch wrong-fit contacts. i would have sent 89 emails feeling confident and wasted a full day on a list that was strategically useless. do you review your lists manually before sending, or do you trust the score?

  @TeamYouTube My YouTube channel was hijacked through a fake brand collaboration/phishing attack tonight. The attacker also took over the associated Google/Gmail account and changed my recovery email, recovery phone and 2-Step Verification methods. Google Account Recovery now only offers a security key, Authenticator and backup codes that I do not have, so I cannot sign in to access YouTube’s Creator Support. I am the original channel owner and can provide proof of ownership. I need assistance with the YouTube channel hijacking recovery process.

  Just rebuilt my email inbox with AI and it’s magical. Highly recommend. I used Codex + relevant email provider plugins/skills connected to my email. Prompt below: “Review my [EMAIL] inbox using @[Outlook/Gmail/Etc plugin]. First, learn how I actually use email. Who I talk to, what I respond to, what I ignore, my existing rules, newsletters, spam, and recurring workflows. Then infer:
• Who should be VIP
• What work should be prioritized
• What should be flagged
• What is noise
• Which existing rules are broken or redundant
• What can be automated • What’s likely being missed as a result of email clutter Do NOT change anything yet. Show me the system you’d build, including new rules, rules you’d remove, suggested VIPs, emails to unsubscribe from, and anything you’d automatically archive. Then ask me only the questions you can’t answer from the inbox itself so we can modify as necessary to create the optimal inbox to meet my needs before we implement it. Remove conflicting legacy rules. Create the new system. Unsubscribe from the junk. Archive the noise. Make sure important people and work reliably rise to the top. Keep it simple. A few great rules > 10 folders. Then QA the whole thing for conflicts and false positives.”

  And there is an even bigger strategic idea which government can implement. If India wants domestic messaging companies to succeed without banning WhatsApp, the best government intervention isn’t “Please download Indian apps.” It is interoperability and portability. Think about mobile phones. If Airtel subscribers could only call Airtel subscribers, Airtel’s network effect would be enormous. But because an Airtel number can call Jio or Vi, companies compete on service instead of holding users hostage through their social graph. Email works similarly. Gmail users can email Outlook users. Imagine an open messaging standard where: Arattai ↔ another Indian messenger ↔ eventually WhatsApp/other compliant platforms could exchange basic encrypted messages with user consent. Then a new messaging company wouldn’t need 500 million users on day one. That would fundamentally change the competitive structure. There are serious technical, spam, identity, encryption and regulatory problems to solve, so it isn’t something Zoho can unilaterally impose on WhatsApp. But Indian government could encourage open messaging standards and data portability rather than bans. I think that’s a much healthier form of digital sovereignty. 3/4

  Me: “I lost my phone at a restaurant in Dallas.”I called it. A guy answered on the second ring. Man: “Yeah I found it. Meet me by the front doors.”I thanked him. He handed it to me in the parking lot. Black iPhone. My blue case. My beach wallpaper. Everything looked normal.I went home.That night at 11:42pm, I got a text from my bank. New device login: Chrome on Windows.I changed my password immediately. Then I checked my Gmail. Account accessed from Denver, CO.I called the restaurant. Manager: “Let me pull the cameras.”

  Matt Shumer just got a Gmail banned because an agent was using it. This one made me pause, because honestly I'm guilty of the same thing. My bots run on the same Gmail my clients reply to. It works great right up until the day it doesn't, and xAI's own docs are clear that every bot on your account shares the same logins. One eager bot, one weird email, and it's not the bot that gets flagged, it's the domain. So that's my fix for this week: the bots get their own mailbox, and the inbox clients reply to goes back to being mine. Everyone shows the agent demo. Nobody shows the blast radius.

  @CynthiaIfu68220 @GloWorld See ehn Once you enter the phone number otp, instead of typing your Gmail, just choose their sign in with google or apple option (google is easier though) That’s how I just did it
