- Comment on Google requires me to find a "verification code" from my android device in order to log in; the device in question has already been wiped (factory reset). 1 week ago:
I know this doesn’t directly solve your issue, and it might not help much now, but I wanted to share my experience just in case it’s useful.
When I had a similar problem after switching phones, what ended up helping was that I had 2FA enabled beforehand. In that case, after selecting the option to recover my account suddenly allowed me to receive a verification code via SMS—something that didn’t appear on the usual login screen, it was greyed out before selecting this option.
It probably won’t work if 2FA is disabled, but maybe it’s still worth checking if any recovery options that shows up helps. There might be a choice there that helps you resolve your problem as well.
In any case, good luck—I hope you’re able to get it sorted soon!

sorry, since you asked a question I just felt the need to clarify 🙂
The ISP products you mentioned really don’t seem consumer-friendly. I understand that ISPs might benefit from setting byte limits, since they incur costs for both inbound and outbound traffic to transit providers. However, from a consumer perspective, it’s a poor deal—especially since most people don’t have the tools to manage their usage effectively and can burn through their quota far too quickly, just like you pointed out.
It all comes down to costs and earnings in the end for all products unfortunately.

I do not work there, just referenced the terms of conditions from their website, so you need to ask them the questions, but I think having a 1Gb connection with 30TB of seeding will eat up that pretty fast either way and also cause a mayhem of incoming connections, so it can hardly be considered private use.
Again, I have no reference to the company, so all questions should be forwarded to them not me. I simply gave a possible reasoning of the ban from their terms.

you probably broke this part of the terms of service…
- Comment on "LEDVANCE" is just a trademark. This is just a plain old fluorescent tube. 5 weeks ago:
probably have/had an office at that location so it would still see German based, but yes, does not look good, or it “does” until you know …
- Comment on "LEDVANCE" is just a trademark. This is just a plain old fluorescent tube. 1 month ago:
that one was made in Russia according to the printed text…and in October 2022 if I read the date stamp correctly? and LEDVANCE is a company name, not product name, it was splitted out of OSRAMS LED division in 2016.
Ledvance GmbH, headquartered in Garching bei München, Germany, is a general lighting and smart home technology company. It was established in 2016 as a spin-off from Osram Licht AG. Since April 2018, Ledvance has been wholly owned by Chinese lighting company MLS.[3] …
In April 2015, it was announced that Osram would divest its general lighting lamp business, which accounted for just over one-third of its workforce. In June 2015, the supervisory board of Osram Licht AG agreed to the divestment of their lamp division with products such as LED lamps, halogen lamps, and compact fluorescent lamps.[4][5] This divested division has been operating as a legally independent company under the name Ledvance since April 2016.
At the end of July 2016, Osram announced that Ledvance would be sold for more than €500 million[8] to a Chinese consortium consisting of investor IDG Capital, LED packaging manufacturer MLS, and Yiwu. The sale was completed on 3 March 2017, with economic effect as of 1 March 2017.[9][10][11] Due to the takeover, MLS gained distribution networks in Europe and the United States.[12][13] Since April 2018, MLS has been the sole owner of Ledvance

not sure you can make OSRAM responsible for what a Chinese company does in Russia?
- Comment on Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) 5 months ago:
“Honestly, a literal raspberry might do a better job at network integration than your printer right now. Just be careful it doesn’t jam… or jam, you know?”
