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?

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
