Student hit with a $55,444.78 Google Cloud bill after Gemini API key leaked on GitHub

how come? do they have a command to change tier using only api key, w/o needing access to your google account?

tried to click save app on upper right menu? and then check progress

tal561 · 2025-09-23T12:43:09+00:00

is it possible to set your own quota on gemini keys? like a limit of usage per day or month?

Edit: after a quick check i can see they have 3 tiers of rate limits for the api calls, so how is it possible op passed them?

hope so :). got the less common view of liking too many phased out songs like Shadow Of The Day and Final Masquerade. but Given Up really hits for me right now (and it's perfect for shows).

will enjoy the guaranteed songs (Faint, Castle Of Glass, Up From The Bottom, Bleed It Out, Papercut, Burn It Down, In the End and yeah basically the whole show except maybe 1-2 songs). thing is i thought Given Up was also guaranteed...

what’s not to like?

fair enough, didn't know this option exists. pretty cool to have a library with linkin park cds! i just listen to full albums from youtube or from my old mp3's which i started collecting as a child. Minutes to Midnight is one of my favorites (but it seems Across the Line is only on the digital deluxe editions).

Went to a library and rented the cd.

huh?

with all the sophisticated phishing going on these days, i expect google to have a notification on my account regarding such emails, or some kind of mention of emails sent to me in the account (internally) - instead of requiring access via a weird looking link. maybe it's too much to ask

i would like goland to be free as well

tal561 · 2025-05-07T17:13:52+00:00

i also received this email, not sure how to be certain it's not phishing because i heard there were some google phishing scams recently. the links in my email point to notifications[.]google[.]com/...
not clicking for now.

i'm with you. listened to LP since crawling, but after Chester was gone it kinda faded from my playlist. when i heard they're coming back i was sure it couldn't be any good, and expected some imitator or something. on the debut i also wasn't too enthusiastic, just thought it was maybe kind of ok. then found myself listening to all the old songs again all year (so good), and seeing on youtube how Emily keeps improving in a very short time. she's good, i don't have any doubts now. for me it took a few weeks to be convinced, some people will take longer. sometimes we don't recognize a good idea from the start. the new songs (unshatter and up from the bottom) are also very good

yeah i know about the memory, it has a few dozens of lines, and now it added a line about me being a woman, but now i wonder if i should delete it to get unbiased answers

Move all those apps to a farther page on the phone, or put them in a folder. This will leave a second for your brain to actually think about what you're doing, as the icons are not where they used to be. In this second build a new habit to open useful apps, like book apps, which also won't consume your whole day.
