Happy Edit: Following your post and just for the fun I tried to log back in and instead of the usual error message Google asked me to enter my full recovery email address. Then, I had to enter a valid phone number and to create a new password. I HAVE ACCESS TO MY ACCOUNT AGAIN!!!!! I don't know how the fuck it worked but if you're in the same position try to log again in a few weeks. What I did the past few months: fill out the Gmail recovery form. (no impact). Bought Google One and asked for support at least 3 times (no impact). Tried to log back in multiple times over the course of a month or two (no impact). Thought the account was toast, I was looking to alternative solutions but I tried again and it fucking worked!

Google is locking me out of my 11 years old Google account (Gmail, Adsense, YouTube, Analytics, ...) I use for a side project (electronic music blog) because I'm trying to log in from a new device/country/IP.
Alright then, I'll try to recover the account with the security question or the recovery email.
Nope, Google doesn't even let me enter the recovery process because of the same error. I can't do anything because of a stupid flag on the account.
The best part? Everytime I'm trying to log into my account, I get a security alert email sent to my recovery email. I can say to Google that I don't recognize the connexion (AccountDisavow) but I have NO OPTION to allow it. What's the point of having a recovery email?
Can't Google see that it's the same IP trying to log in and trying to access the "Review activity" from the security alert email?
If any Google employee is reading this, I'd love some help!
To their defense they did release a lot of things to help create that ecosystem (SSO, bridge, mail v4 beta) but I think the drive launch should have happened after having Mail and Calendar out of beta with proper apps.
Go to Indeed, do a search with your preferred parameters (job title, city, pay, etc) and add the URL to a RSS Reader like Feedly or Inoreader. Done.
I don't need Blockada on my phone anymore and I can block whatever I want at the router level instead of doing it on each devices.
Keep up the good work!
Something like this:
Urgent Task to do
X Task done
==May 11-May16==
X Task done
X Task done
1) Turn-on the computer, log in Windows, enter the overcomplicated encryption software password, launch IE6 to go to a webpage which will launch the VPN native app. (at least 5 minutes)
2) Opening Microsoft Project takes ages since the Project Server is in Europe. Then there's some kind of macro that has to run which in the end fails because I'm not on-site. You pick a plan to open it, it takes another 30 seconds, another macro/prompt/check fails. The whole process takes a good 3-5 minutes until you can actually work on it and I have 18+ plans to manage.
3) You can run reports of said Project plans and export them in Excel format but the formatting is all junky. You have unused columns, titles, hidden columns. I had to create a macro to import the exported file, import all the data, and creating a pivot table automatically instead of doing it manually X times a day.
4) We're still using Office 2010 while working a lot with Excel. The limitations of the 10 years old software is a real pain. Do you want to manage two Excel files in two separate instances of Excel? You'll have to open a separate instance first then open a file. You also can't use all the new formulas or enjoy the improvement made on the ones that already exist. I get that Office licences are not cheap and the "Fix What’s Broken, Don’t Break What’s Working " motto but the time wasted on all this by everyone working for the group worldwide must be way higher.
5) Enterprise network is slow on-site, it's even worse on a VPN. Opening up a simple Excel/PPT file takes a good five minutes.
6) We're still using Lync, it's easier to send a screenshot/file via email than using this nightmare of a software.
7) IE6 is the "default" browser for everything
8) With the COVID-19 situation, we're not allowed anymore to use conference tools while being connected on the VPN. You have to save all the files you need for the call locally, log off the VPN, join the call, and then re-upload everything on the network.
