Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

jd957, you might be looking at your percentage of you total email box space. The percentage change to calculate the new total amount of allowed space (2 gb or 2024 mb in computer language).

Mine is going up and with about 100 MB more to go, I will have 2 GB by tonight! :D

i know.....lol, been following this thread and have been laughing. just put that there for a reaction. :rolleyes: :D

blah! i'll just wait untill it reaches 2GB or more specifically 2048MB ;) though i may not be at home to see it happen :unsure:

EDIT: ok i just experimented and found out that it increases by 0.01MB/sec therefore it increases by 1MB every 1min45sec. so at this rate from the amount it is at (round of to nearest 5 or 10 if you want) how long before it reaches 2048MB? anyone who loves maths wanna figure it out?

EDIT2: my guess is nobody does (i don't either..).

ok i rounded it off to 1920MB so that leaves 80MB to go.

80*1.75=140

140/60=2.33... hrs (i.e. 2hrs19min untill 2000MB)

48*1.75=84

84/60=1.4 hrs (i.e. 1hr24mins)

so 2hrs19min+1hr24min= 3hrs43mins untill counter reaches 2048MB (coutning from 1920MB)

is this right??

24 pages big :yes:

But yeh

Im gonna guss about 30 mins or so before 2000mb, then the counter is going to stop, then Gmail is going to keep adding space on according to a source. Lets see everyones inboxs :p

whoa! I don't need that much! I've only used around 10 meg yet!

Mostly Spam, of course.

How can the servers make room and reverse 2 GB for like a million or two people that uses Gmail?

Look: 2 GB x 1 000 000 = 2 000 000 GB

THey can give people 2 GB because not everybody will use 2 G. Most people here were using like 10% of their 1GB. Some , myself included were at 25% or more. That means for 1 GB of space 10 people or more (on a rough average) could use 1GB. Google doesn't have to have that much space on hand, they will just have to be ready to purchase more space...as the need gradually comes!

lol, it would be cool if they had fluctuating sizes.

life is random, and so is the size of your mailbox.

ROFLMAO OMGBBQ

I think it'll be 2000mb, not 2048mb. Their 1GB of email space was 1000mb... but who's crying over 48 megs of space?

especially when you have 2GB?

Maybe we'll receive a true 2 GB box, 2048 MB, I don't know.

We didn't start with 1024 though did we . . .

Everyone got 50 invites again, no matter how many you sent out before?

Was on 36, back to 50.

Also, i dont know javascript, but maybe the target/counter could be looked at on the page. . . . anyone?

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
