Why did they change ccc to be at the same time as defcon instead of end of year?

They didn't. This is from Chaos Communication Camp, which takes place every fourth summer. It's the annual Conference that happens in December. The dates for this Camp was announced prior to Defcon dates. If the conflict is actually intentional after all, I'd also be curious around the history of that.

Good to know but FYI, defcon/blackhat US are the same dates every year i can remeber

Defcon dates are slightly different each year and this is the first time they collide. CCC dates were set pre-covid.

Esim is a death for featured phones.

Do "feature phones" even use feature phone (=embedded, RT) OSes anymore? I assumed they all used KaiOS or Android under their easy-to-use UIs.

Android is not easy to use by any stretch of imagination.

Photo ID? Then how do you get an anonymous burner phone? Order it online somehow?

The whole rationale of the laws in these countries is that you shouldn't be allowed to get one.

But why? It's not anyone's business but my own. If a snotty call phone rep insisted on a treating me like a teenager at a bar they would be some talking and not from my mouth.
