  In Jan 2025 I wrote a guide on writing tools for AI agents. The mental model was: write every tool yourself, it gives more control. Here is the 2026 version of that advice, because it changed. There are now three ways to give an agent capabilities, and knowing which one to reach for is the actual skill: 1: MCP, for the outside world. Gmail, sheets, databases, browsers. Don't write your own gmail tool. Someone already wrote it, tested it, and maintains it. In 2025 the question was "how do I connect my agent to X". In 2026 the question is "which MCP server for X do I trust". 2: Skills, for the how. A skill is a collection of markdown and python files describing a workflow: how we write quotes, how we review code, how we file notes. In 2025 this knowledge lived inside prompts and died with the conversation. Now it is a file in version control. 3: Custom tools, for what is truly yours. Your pricing logic. Your internal systems. Your data. This is the only place where the 2025 advice still fully applies: write it yourself, keep it simple, one tool one job, docstring that a llm can understand. The mistake I see people make is using the wrong layer. Writing custom code for things MCP already covers. Stuffing workflow instructions into tool descriptions. Putting proprietary logic into prompts where it cant be versioned or tested. MCP for the outside world. Skills for the how. Custom tools for what only you have. That rule sorts 95% of the decisions.

  @JStarVoid_29th @Thenam54603137 @kanauru Create a new Google Play Store account (gmail), login in Google Play Store, close the app, use VPN and try to connect to US, then you can find the game and download it, I use this method to play region restrict games for years.

  3/ Your Phone Is a Separate Problem Desktop settings do not automatically sync to your phone. Your Gmail app on iPhone or Android has its own separate toggle. Go to: Gmail app → tap Menu (three lines) → Settings → tap your account name → Smart features and personalization → Turn OFF → Confirm If you skip this step: Your phone is still sending your email data to Google's AI. Even after you turned it off on desktop. Check every device you use Gmail on. Every single one needs to be turned off separately.

  @TheDesertLynx I'm not defending Monero, btw... just the technology. I'm not a **** of any coin. No coin, anywhere, is as useful as they should be in my opinion. 1) Can't be certain of supply. That's such an old point that I thought the modern math would have finally put that to rest. Monero, and others like it, are auditable. Granted there's still a very tiny statistical chance that it could be wrong, but the moment an issue is found, it's SUPER easy to fix as we've seen in the past. There's been enough time and engineering to prove this point moot. 2) "No "pass-through privacy" leaks" <--- 100% agree. Mixers are the image below. 3) Since many privacy coins have ways to create auditable wallets that merchants and public donations use right now (I use them), the idea that a fund couldn't be public doesn't make sense (unless your'e referring to something else). 4) "privacy tech is significantly less efficient" <--- This is my biggest gripe because there's VERY little concern for UI/UX in the blockchain privacy space but isn't ignored in the larger privacy space. We accept slower transactions, time locks, or whack-a-mole privacy. 5) "All privacy is more valuable than no privacy" <--- 100% couldn't disagree more about blockchain. I will never not think surveillance-by-default blockchains are asking people to accept transparent bank accounts with "opt-in" privacy. I've never once seen privacy advocates outside of blockchain advocate that people just use Gmail, but with optional privacy options because it makes no sense. I feel like because money is on the line (or people getting paid by these blockchains) people are willing to promote inferior privacy for the sake of adoption... which, unfortunately, was killed off by bitcoin... a surveillance chain. Privacy advocates will promote private-by-default all day every day... but then when you talk to them about blockchain they promote surveillance-by-default which makes zero sense to me. Why... would they support default privacy everywhere else but then for the "sake of practicality" compromise on blockchain??? All the issues I have with blockchain are engineering problems. We can have fast, scalable, private-by-default transactions but so few developers are willing to think about the user experience that I think the rest of us have given up rather than blaming blockchain developers for ignoring the needs of the end user... and yes... I blame them squarely and openly for their negligence. 6) "Optional-privacy ecosystems may achieve greater absolute anonymity sets due to network effects" <--- I know this is opinion, but I'd want actual data here to support this because this actually matters. It's almost like saying, "Gmail, with it's optional privacy may achieve greater absolute anonymity due to... [whatever]". I get that Gmail is centralized so it's not an identical comparison... but the idea here that we're being asked to accept surveillance because there's optional privacy. I'm not sold and I don't think I ever will be. I apply principles across the board equally. I feel like there's a concerted effort to diminish privacy in blockchain even though EVERYWHERE ELSE privacy is seriously promoted as trying to achieve absolute privacy. Tor isn't optional privacy by default. Mullvad isn't optional privacy by default. Bitwarden isn't optional privacy by default. Proton Mail and Tuta aren't optional privacy by default. SimpleX and Signalaren't optional privacy by default. Soooooo many others. I don't know if it's malicious. I don't know if it's just what people believe. I don't know... But for some reason... when it comes to blockchain... people promote surveillance-by-default and think it's perfectly fine.

  @kapilansh_twt To be honest, its good, except Google throttles the **** out of you, if you visit ANY google website on Edge. YouTube suddenly has random delays, takes longer to load. And same story with google search, gmail and anything Google, just to make you think your browser is slow...

  @0xyunss Browser-native agents for real admin work hit different when you realize DNS, Gmail, and internal dashboards share the same attack surface. The security model assumed human pace and human error, not automated credential churn at machine speed. How do you revoke access when the agent rotates through sessions faster than your SIEM can parse logs?

  we spent €123k on Google Demand Gen ads for one client in 14 days it brought back 2,990 conversions at €41.22 CAC Demand Gen is just running wrong on 90% of accounts eCom Twitter thinks Demand Gen is a waste of budget cause they've only ever seen it set up like this: - creative pulled from existing YouTube shorts - broad targeting with no audience layering - no dedicated landing pages - launched at $50/day and left for 8 weeks then it "fails" and the founder writes it off forever but a properly built Demand Gen campaign is one of the cheapest paths to cold-traffic acquisition on the entire Google platform here's what €41.22 CAC actually looks like at scale: 1/ 3 dedicated audience layers: custom intent (based on top 200 buyer-search-terms), Similar Segments seeded from the existing customer list, and a lookalike from the last 30 days of Purchase events 2/ creative built specifically for Demand Gen surfaces (Discover feed, Gmail promotions, YouTube Shorts) not repurposed video ads that were designed for TikTok 3/ landing pages that match the ad's specific promise. category pages, not the homepage. 4/ Target CPA bid strategy set 15% higher than the account's blended CAC, then trimmed monthly set up this way, Demand Gen consistently pulls sub-€45 CAC on eCom accounts spending €50k+/mo the platform works when the setup respects it if u're running Demand Gen and it's not converting, one of those 4 things above is likely broken

  it's hard to overstate how much value DEI destroyed at Google. they could have launched their useful internal chatbots earlier, but the bots were offensive and they didn't want to cannibalise their search ads cash cow. it's an evergreen story: Big Co avoids self-cannibalising, gets their lunch eaten by a startup they don't own. what Google should have done: spin out the AI division or keep it under Deepmind to avoid the brand risk of offensive bots, i.e. retain the Gmail "beta" label and wash their hands of the initially offensive parts until the models improved. however, then you still have the cost center problem: ExCo bonuses are tied to existing product performances, and while costly models are being trained, all they see is declining ad revenue, so they lobby against it. this points to an incentive failure. perhaps the root cause is silo'd OKRs?

  We get Claude to send us a daily 'money' recap each morning... and it's saved us thousands each month. My wife and I aren't budgeters .If we need stuff, we generate income. But that ends up in 'leaks' every month for expenses. "Death by a thousand swipes" and it can lead to wasted money, thousands in extra "WTH" expenses, arguments etc. This is especially true if you do have a high income and you find 'lifestyle' creep has taken over... as it has many times in our lives. *** What gets measured gets managed. Trying to manually budget stuff each month... go through the 'budget' is a task that's a pain to do . Years ago, we looked for an app to do exactly what Claude is now doing (for essentially free as I use Claude for work daily). Instead of some random app to check, we BOTH get an automated email each day that tells us: - Our last 5 days of transactions from our checking and amex cards - How much was spent for our NUT - Our necessary spends (mortgage, groceries, utilities) NICE TO HAVE - Kids activities, house cleaners, landscapers GUILT-FREE - Eating out, trips, etc. - (most importantly) How much do we have LEFT to spend on the month for each of the 3 buckets. GOAL: - We both know where we are in the month. None of us log into our account each day, so we don't see if there's a bad charge, or what someone just bought. It's usually I log into pay the Amex bill 1x per month and go "This balance is 5k more than I thought" - Just seeing the number "You have $ XYZ" left guilt-free to spend removes any guilt about spending, especially if your spouse needs that structure. **** How to set up: 1. Load an entire years statements into Claude (You need a Claude subscription) 2. Ask it to breakdown where you spent --- you'll be shocked some of the overspent categories. We always think we're spending half of what our 'eating out' actual is 3. Put in the prompt: (on the next tweet) 4. Claude can even determine what makes sense for each budget. E.g. "You normally have an electric bill around $200/month". 5. Claude will then have you connect your accounts to it through a secure 3rd party (You are NOT giving Claude unlimited access to your bank accounts... and it will tell you NOT to do that anyway) 6. You'll then set up a script in Google to pull the email draft from your Gmail and auto-send to you. 7. NOTE --- you'll need Claude "on" to do this each day e.g. your computer can't be off. But you schedule it for when you are normally around your computer and you can even run it manually if you happen to login at a different time. 8. As things come up each month, you can adjust the buckets. "Hey, we need to save $500 the next 5 months for our 3 day beach getaway, put aside and adjust the guilt-free bucket." It's all done with prompts and updates the bucket automatically the next 5 months. **** We've found already it makes us mindful of not doing stupid spends. I'm notorious for going into Target for 1 thing and then buying the kids some extra crap, etc. Or taking them to a sporting goods store for 1 thing and we end up with 10 things. PROMPT ON NEXT PAGE. It's a 1-shot prompt, you can start with "just analyze our spend" and go from there.

  PortSwigger's Gareth Heyes demonstrated CSS/HTML sanitizer-bypass attacks against 6 major webmail providers at Black Hat USA 2026, letting content inside an email escape the message boundary and hit the trusted interface: - Outlook (+Firefox): label-jacking spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen, captures the typed password - Gmail: image-set() bypass chained with prompt injection via Claude Cowork's Gmail connector to steal a Slack token - Yahoo/AOL: paste-race bug exposes a 12-character Medium login token - Fastmail: two CSS mutation bugs plus a UI-hijacking flaw, since fixed - Proton Mail: proxy bypass that leaked recipient IPs, patched on retest Public PoCs are still live. Guidance: isolate HTML email in sandboxed iframes, restrict CSS.

  for security i recommend claude code users disconnect ANY plugins like google drive etc from the anthropic WEB app because it’s buggy and not properly separated from the cli tool. Nothing “bad” happened but here’s what scared tf out of me this morning: I had asked fable to scan my home server (rakuni), it found it to be secure but had defaulted to opus 4.8 and used a bunch of sonnet 5 subagents to setup a cron job and then connected itself to the web app somehow, started reading & writing reports to my google drive (thankfully i use a throwaway gmail for that). The way I found out was through notifications from the claude app on an iphone 12 that i just use as a webcam and for checking twitter ( my main phone is a pixel fold with grapheneOS and got no notifications there). All i see is a temporary claude seshion with with weird </> Accep… button on the iphone app. And because the iphone is in lockdown mode i could not go back to the temporary seshion, it had just dissapeared, but at least i took screenshots. Again, I was not hacked, the opus and sonnet fallbacks from fable had created a bunch of slop and somehow enabled this, including authorization tokens for google Drive uploads even though on the web all its permissions are set to blocked. Their codebase itself is sloppy enough to somehow allow something i had never authorized or authenticated for web use and ignore what settings you have set through anthropic.
