But It was working on my iPhone 4 yesterday.

Yes, but you upgraded your phone - so it stopped working. Basically, anyone who had it pre-configured on their device BEFORE Jan 30th, they were fine. Anyone setting it up after than (upgrade phone, restore etc) it will cease to work.

That's stupid. Does the gmail app push?

My Iphone 4 worked with push last night, but not on my new one

It's totally on google side. If you would have purchased your new phone in January this wouldn't be a problem because google was still accepting new devices. It was per device, not user.

Everyone is eventually going to have a problem with this as they upgrade their phone. I'm on the fence about changing my email over it. The gmail client is OK, but isn't as quick to load as the stock mail client even on the 5. Idk... I've had my gmail account since beta and SO many accounts are tied to it. Blah.

Google as was said doesn't support EAS anymore so new accounts have to use the Gmail app or only do IMAP from it. Sux but blame Google in this one, can't blame Apple or Microsoft this time around!

Not per-account, it is per-device.

Your best bet is to get the official Gmail app. That's what we all use now. Either that or mailbox app or sparrow.

Sparrow doesn't support PUSH unless you jailbreak and install Sparrow+. I'm a little mistified by what Sparrow+ is doing to get PUSH working, but it works.

More-or-less the official GMail app works just fine. Just have Mail app setup with GMail via IMAP/SMTP for when you share something like a photo.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
