  • What happens when you insert a SIM card? The operator receives: The IMEI of your phone. The SIM card number (ICCID). The Wi-Fi network name (if Wi-Fi Calling is enabled). The location (by towers). And yes, this permanently binds the IMEI to the SIM card in their database, especially in countries that require SIM registration. If the SIM card is registered to you, then: Any insertion into the device is logged. IMEI + number = you can track which device is being used and by whom. Banking Apps usually check: The presence of a SIM card. Sometimes - so that the SIM number matches the number specified in the banking system. The presence of active Internet (mobile or Wi-Fi). Something like that




  • max_parallel_downloads: This parameter specifies the maximum number of packages that DNF can load in parallel. The default value is usually 3 or 5, depending on your system. Decreasing the value: By decreasing the value of max_parallel_downloads, you will force DNF to load packages sequentially or in smaller groups. For example, by setting max_parallel_downloads=1, you will effectively disable parallel downloading and DNF will only download one package at a time. Speed Impact: Reducing max_parallel_downloads will cause the update process to slow down. In conclusion, reducing max_parallel_downloads is a perfectly logical way to reduce the number of DNF packages being loaded in parallel. Just be aware of the impact on speed and test different values to find the best one for your conditions.










  • Ubuntu,Pop!_OS,Fedora,elementary OS. I would like to start with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS. These are the most popular and well-adapted distros, which are ideal for gaming, creativity and safe use. If Ubuntu is not to your liking because of Snap or telemetry, Pop!_OS can be a great alternative. But you can still download any distribution you want, you just need to look for it yourself
