ChatGPT’s Gmail Connector: OpenAI’s next flop?


The ChatGPT Gmail connector was first released in June 2025 for Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users. However, because of alleged data protection rules, users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK were excluded. OpenAI is now deploying connectors for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and GitHub across Europe for all plans—notably after Anthropic released their MCP connectors weeks ago in Europe without such concerns, suggesting OpenAI's initial data protection claims were merely pretextual or that MCP has no priority status for the AI company. The announcement mentions Google Contacts, but this connector isn't yet accessible in my ChatGPT with a Plus plan. I tested the Gmail Connector, and following GPT-5's disastrous launch, it appears OpenAI released another flop immediately afterward.

EvaProject и EvaGit обновлены до версии 2.30


Российская компания EvaTeam выпустила обновление до версии 2.30 «Иркутск» своих продуктов EvaProject и EvaGit. Продукты позиционируются как аналог Jira – известной системы управления проектами и отслеживания задач.
Обновления содержат значительные улучшения и дополнительные функциональные возможности, призванные повысить эффективность работы команд разработчиков и упростить управление проектами.
Новая версия EvaProject включает целый ряд значимых усовершенствований. Среди них — разработка нового модуля управления требованиями, позволяющего организовывать иерархические структуры с неограниченной глубиной вложений, автоматически присваивать номера требованиям и сравнивать их версии. Дашборды стали более гибкими благодаря поддержке мощных Rich-фильтров, аналогичных известным функциональностям Jira, а архитектура гаджетов теперь обеспечивает независимость друг от друга, предоставляя простор для индивидуальной настройки представлений данных. Процесс согласования задач дополнительно к существующей логике может осуществляться индивидуально в карточке каждой задачи, делая процессы гибкими и адаптивными. Информация о статусе архивации задач выводится прямо в карточку, предупреждая ошибочные изменения в устаревших данных. Канбан-доски дополнены показателями планируемых трудозатрат, упрощающих оценку загрузки специалистов. Интерфейс бэклога стал более интуитивным и быстрым благодаря удобным инструментам группировки и выбора спринтов.

Fuzzy Application Search Extension for GNOME Works with your Typos


I am what I like to call an “inattentive typist”. Anything I enter with a keyboard, be it blog posts, chat replies, search terms, etc are hammered out at a thunderous pace – a breath slower than the speed of my thoughts, but often making as little sense when externalised! But GNOME Shell is a “stickler for specificity”, i.e., you must type what you’re looking for exactly in the overview or it’ll return no results at all. It doesn’t use “fuzzy matching” out of the box (where it predicts what you were trying to type, and returns results based on […]
