Back in the 90s, we used to say "the factory of the future will be run by one person and their dog. The person is there to feed the dog. The dog is there to stop the person touching the machines." Now? share.google/OIvE1UEuvCuKKl…

Working with FlowDealer Labs, we're rebooting my original mental health research to understand how you're doing and what we can do to materially improve it. - hackernoon.com/techs-silent-e… #startups #mentalhealth

For example, compared to the art direction, quality, and excitement of Beast of Reincarnation, there's no contest. Sure, it has a $13m budget, but if the gameplay feels good, it'll be a killer title and franchise starter (games, and movies)

Unpopular, or popular, opinion for all my PlayStation friends Koei Tecmo are dialing it in - least possible effort - with Dead or Alive 6 Final Round. They know the fan base is big enough to create a profit if dev cost is minimal A trend I'm seeing a lot tbh

@HMRCcustomers I've tried 8am many of the dozen+ times. I've tried after lunch. I've tried early afternoon before lines close Why does the phone system go silent and cut me off? Can you pass that through to phone system support? This can't be right It's a critical and significant issue

@TheRealSJR Thanks. We can't access records here as we are a general advice service only. We generally advise to call as soon as our lines open at 8am. For webchat you'll need to type 'adviser' in the chat a few times to be passed through. Sofia

@HMRCcustomers @HMRCgovuk Never any advisors available in Ask HMRC Online Ridiculous phone automation Have called 15+ times to discuss a significant rebate that's months late Last 3 times, I got cut off in the queue at: 7m 18s 18m 24s 9m 37s How can I talk to someone?

@HMRCcustomers And apparently I can't DM you. There's never anyone in the online chat to talk to. The phone takes 5-6 minutes to get through the automated messages, I am told I'll be connected to an advisor. Then it just hangs up after several, random minutes Infuriating

@TheRealSJR We don't use DM I'm afraid. Have you checked the timescale online? Sofia

@HMRCcustomers Yes, many times. I left it 30 days as requested, then checked. It kept pushing back from late December, to early January, to late January. Now it's back in early January! No messages in the HMRC app. My nominee has received nothing. Can never contact anyone as it's impossible

@HMRCcustomers Happy to share more via DM

@TheRealSJR Thanks. Is it a refund from PAYE? Sofia

@HMRCcustomers From a P50Z form, sent in and received by HMRC on 18/11/25

@HMRCcustomers Thanks for replying Sofia I need to know where my rebate is. I can NEVER get through. I've been trying since late December. Tried the online chat. Tried calling. Have zero messages on the app. Nothing works How do I understand where my rebate is? It's becoming critical

@TheRealSJR Hi, I'm sorry you haven't managed to get through. Do you have a general query I can help with? Thanks, Sofia.

@gmail I appreciate this reply is for all @Google departments including @Android @GeminiApp and more, but partly this is about Google's continuity as well as its recent "global press, but regional reality" problem

@TheRealSJR Hi Stewart, we're working on bringing this to more countries soon. You can always find our latest features and availability here: goo.gle/3YybwX8. Hope this helps.

We’re bringing @gmail into the Gemini era by making it a personal, proactive inbox assistant that accelerates your day. Here’s how it gets more done: — AI Overviews turn conversational questions into instant answers (e.g. “Who was that plumber that gave me a quote last year?”) — Suggested Replies and Proofread draft grammar-checked emails based on your writing style — AI Inbox automatically surfaces your most important to-dos and priorities Most of these capabilities are rolling out in English to Gmail users in the US as well as Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, with expansions to come. Watch this video to learn more about where Gmail is going in 2026 📥

@gmail Not really I have Pixel 9 Pro XL, Watch 3, Buds Pro 2, Chromebook Plus, Gemini Pro, and run Android Beta Thanks to your rollout choices, I can: Create videos from photos in Gemini, but not in Photos Learn languages in Translate (but VPN only) Lack most Q3/4 announcements

@evleaks If it doesn't fit in your pocket, it's not fit for purpose. If you need to wear a sling bag or backpack to carry a phone, it shows a design misunderstanding akin to building an SUV for the micro car customer

No idea whether these are indeed dimensions of the foldable iPhone, but I have to say, it's certainly a form factor worth further consideration. It differs from most current book-style foldables in that its inner display's aspect ratio delivers distinct landscape and portrait orientations - which also happens to be one of the more appealing features of the nascent tri-folds. As for the cover screen, it would seem to offer both a better browsing experience -- i.e. less reliance on narrow columns of text -- as well as a more comfortable, spacious typing surface.

"People all over the world already turn to Google Images for visual discovery" - @Google Also Google: "This feature will be rolling out over the next few weeks in the Google app for Android and iOS in the U.S." So sick of having to wait for "global" features...

@JonhernandezIA We used to do that with a cutting edge technology called a "database."

📁 Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

@GeminiApp Now if I can just get image to video back (I had it, but it disappeared), I can really fly

@TheRealSJR A photo and a little bit of imagination can go a long way. This turned out so good

With state-of-the-art image capabilities, Gemini makes it easier to create and edit images like never before. You’ll get great results from simple inputs, but if you want even more creative control, our team pulled together some tried-and-true nano banana prompting tips to help you unlock next-level photos. Let’s get into it 🍌
