Google Drive is having a potentially massive issue right now that we have to talk about. There are articles from several major publications talking about this and the situation is still being investigated. Many users are complaining that their Google Drives have reverted back to May and are showing no activity since then. There was a long Google Drive forum support thread that has since been locked and removed and a new document with just the support comment. We are also seeing some sync issues on Mac such as Finder showing Drive needs to be running to sync, however it is in fact running, and on my wifes intel mac, in finder, folders that are in drive, when new files are added to the folder, they are not uploading despite the app saying everything is synced. https://support.google.com/drive/thread/245861992/drive-for-desktop-v84-0-0-0-84-0-4-0-sync-issue?hl=en

PSA: Clean Your Desks. You might notice that my audio and video look and sound different this week. This is because I just dumped my can of seltzer all over my desk not once, but twice in a row and the second time was all over my rodecaster sound deck which runs my mic. The camera was not affected but I just got the new Macbook Pro M3 Pro and I something in my stack is not playing nicely and it refused to connect for this.

I wanted to talk a bit more about Threaded Spaces, we complained about it last week and in preparation for the rollout, wanted to remind everyone of a few items from the release:
Beginning September 30, 2023 we will begin upgrading conversations grouped by topic to in-line threading. We anticipate this change to be completed by March 2024.
A minimum of two weeks prior to the upgrade taking place, a banner will be displayed in impacted spaces notifying users about the impending change. Users will be able to click through to the Help Center for more information.
If you’re using an impacted space when the upgrade commences, most functions such as sending and receiving messages will be inaccessible. Typically, this will only last for a few minutes, after which users simply need to refresh the browser tab to access and use the newly upgraded space.
Once the upgrade is complete, the space will use the in-line threaded model. Messages sent before the upgrade will be retained, and will be arranged chronologically, instead of by topic. There will also be a separator titled “Begin New Topic” to indicate every time a new topic was started.
In some cases, when people have responded on older topics, the new chronological order takes precedence. This means that messages may not appear next to the original topic, but rather according to their timestamp. When this occurs, the new response will quote the last corresponding message that it is replying to🥳 Don’t miss our SaaS focused show SaaS Showdown!
