I agree. If every of us would do their homework right.

Doing my part.

🙂 The world is full of qualified professionals nowadays mate! You are one of them for sure!

Yup and then they move the spyware/malware/etc into a layer below where nobody knows what is inside...

How is your baseband modem in your smartphone doing, by the way?

Can somebody explain me Proton in detail? 😉

And still I wonder why almost all public institutions use Micro$oft & Co...

Nothing to see here, Same BS, Laws that do nothing, See GDPR,

IMEIs are unique by design... Any existing device SHOULD have a unique IMEI. So when you use an older device IMEI should work perfectly.

Best advice! +1

Yes you are correct!

But in our discussion it was implied/assumed a random UNIQUE IMEI or MAC address.

For example most of people have a pile of unused older phones which are NOT IN USE and you could use thoses IMEIs without issues.

No, there are no confusions. Changing the "id" like the MAC address or the IMEI has no impact on any system.

Its just like a new device joins a network.

For example, when a client device gets its IP from the dhcp server on a router, which allocates a random ip from a specific pool, it does not influence anything like ip packets routing...

The real issue is that it is forbiden, BECAUSE if you randomize it you do not have an unique id anymore to trace back a specific device...

Hope is more clear for you now!

Well done mate!
