I want to open a gmail account and make it impossible for anyone to figure out this gmail is somehow associated with my main gmail. I am not doing anything nefarious, in fact, this gmail will never send or receive a single email. This is just about privacy.
This is my plan: I buy a used laptop and take it to a place that has wifi. I create a gmail account. for phone verification I get a used phone and once I get the code I throw away the phone. I am still undecided if the phone would be near me or far away from me when the code comes through, or if it makes a difference.
I close the browser. I don't turn off the laptop. I bring the laptop to my house.
When I first thought about this problem I thought google (or the govenrment, or whoever my adversary is) could see that the laptop that created this account is now at my house. but I am having trouble imagining how that's possible.
