Times simular to your exaggeration will come and people will say "But it's their service! If you want to use it, you have to follow their rules".

I understand that Google already has my phone number. That's not so much of a problem for me. I am trying to limit the amount of personal information that I hand out to websites & services.

If not, that's still my decision and I shouldn't be forced. Especially not in form of having to provide my phone number.

I have no clue what a RAID is to be honest. I was using a VM with 6 GB RAM to do some work in another operating system and passed through my physical hard drive (Host to Guest) to write the data on when suddenly my VM got stuck.
