It's been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now...

They send me to this support page which seems like I have lost my account with all the data and stuff I had from when I was younger...

I don't think this is normal or ethic to do (I know Google has been never ethic), but this makes me so angry because I never wanted to lose all that data...

Do they basically know every people networks? And if you don't let them know... you lose access to Google? ... ๐Ÿ˜

SSIDs are not like Reddit usernames

I never used Reddit... xD

And I always called my Wi-Fi networks as the same from years ago, this way my family always can get in without asking me the password. Now the permanent name will be something to make it cool with that ugly suffix... ๐Ÿคฎ
