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!

I'm thanksful that there are more people like us who understand the source of the issues...

Exactly! This person knows what I am saying! ☝️

beautiful

I wonder WHEN that "right" has been TAKEN?

Lets wake up for fuck sake and push back!

I tried this more than 15 years ago...

Besides money, batteries and a lot of effort you know why it did not work?

AUTHORITIES they would not "license" a converted car from gas to electric.

and YES the SAME AUTHORITIES that are saying now and pretend to care about environment and push all these EVs and Hybrids to "Save our Planet"

Fucking hypocrites!

Lets talk about IMEIs of our phones too... Why is it illegal to change your phone IMEI?

Exactly!

i personally stay away of any "cloud" connection like hik connect...

By cloud connection I mean that the device connects to the provider's cloud (vpn) and you(end user) connect to the provider to view your OWN video footage.

In terms of privacy this is disaster because the provider can view/process as in AI all your video footage in real time. Further the provider can track the shit out of us and do many other nasty things...

Hope it helps!
