I have in the past refused and started looking for a new job the moment my employer asked me to use my personal accounts for company work. That was a major breach of personal boundaries which I did not find acceptable. But clearly, it doesn

For Indian companies, a Zoho One yearly subscription is USD 13 a month if you use it for all your employees. That's USD 8000 a year if I have 50 employees, which I can straightaway claim as expenses and get a tax benefit out of it. And

I agree with you 100%. We do syncs to another non-google storage account anyway, plus the google accounts are primarily for Android phone usage because photos and videos take up quite a big chunk of space now; they do not have any legitimat

Yes. It's not just the money; you'll be at the center of Google's power base. Spend a few years there, and it'll be much easier to move to anywhere in the world you want (within Google or otherwise). Being at headquarter

You are thinking in the right direction; a lot of experienced developers are also thinking the same way. The goal is not to become specifically a buggy-whip manufacturer or a specialist mill-worker; the goal is to have enough mental faculti

I tried both these prompts (along with the SINAC one as per GP) in Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 3, and they both answered correctly for all three. Both also provided context on the chess question as well.

Thanks for the detailed answer, I think that'll be a relief for many. However, would you say this still is a volatile situation for people who are facing this issue? Are the rulings _final_ on this? Or is there chance of people getting

As someone who uses both, I much rather prefer aliases to hide-my-email for the more important stuff. For one, I can choose the email address "username", which I cannot with Apple's solution. Plus, what happens when I move on

It's usually down about at least once a day for me anyway. Previously it used to be down during beginning and end of US work times. Now that they've geographically spread out their servers, it's down at random times instead.
