Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

I fail to see how this ever growing limit is benifiting anyone at the moment. There shall be no-one who has used up 1GB of e-mails legitimately and be wanting more.

Now, please. Just because the limit keeps getting (theoretically) higher, doesn't mean you can spam Neowin about it. It's not benifiting you. Not at all.

Sn00pY. You need to relax, and leave the guy alone. Same with you Chode. I think highly of both of you, and to see you two fight it out just lowers both mine, and others respect for you guys.

OK...true i was being a bit pedantic...Sorry Chode. didnt think we would "flame war" over that...but hey...back to topic eh mate?

You are currently using 14 MB (1%) of your 1202 MB.

muhaha!

[if you wish to pm me Chode to calm the situation feel free - again sorry though]

Thing is, people. What you fail to understand is. Yes, we've gathered it's raising the bar every few seconds. But. So what? We're all going at the same stage. Hell, at this moment in time, it's just who-ever can be arsed posting first about how theirs grew.

Seriously guys, lay off the spam in this topic. As that is, what I regard it as.

A discussion about GMail and it's attempts to win this 'e-mail battle' is far more suited IMO. Again, I ask - lay of the spam?

[off-topic]Ahh, .Atlantis. The voice of reason.

Sorry Sn00py, having a terrible couple of weeks and I over-reacted. I'm sorry.[/off-topic]

Gmail feels very slow to me. Please everyone quit refreshing :p

Honestly, I don't understand how they can do it. They've got so many people out there that have g-mail accounts. Some, have more than one. Pretty soon Google will have to build additional buildings for more servers alone. I'll admit, having my gmail account for almost a year now, and I've probably only had about 20 pieces of junk mail. I've never deleted a single e-mail and I'm still only using 15% of my account. TO all those who are using more... something is seriously wrong.

After importing my e-mails into outlook... I have over 22,000 e-mails (most of which are forum posts and work related)

Google is just wasting space.

Like I said earlier. Theoretical space. IMO They don't allocate 1GB per new account. They just increase the size as more e-mails arrive. Therefore this major update that's sparked such controversy, is actually just text more so than anything else.

You didnt hear.. I forget where, somewhere in the midwest.... Google is having so much trouble with lack of power for their servers.. that they are building a new compound right down the road from a nuclear power plant.. Solely for their servers.. because they have so many and draw so much current that where they had them couldnt power them well enough..

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
