    That's not gonna happen. They can't publish private business and personal communications, names and data with the public. The point of hiring an external company is that they audit the case and come to a conclusion, and for the company to be reputable they must not be biased. If you don't believe the conclusion why would you believe the details? They could also be manufactured or cherry picked.

    Gears would have to be really well made, otherwise it won't roll well and you would lose speed. I think a better chance would be to use two cylinders and the rope as the belt between them.

    Don't think so. There are three levels of google play integrity. With some magisk modules you can pass the basic level, and with more work you can get the mid level by manually finding fingerprints from other verified devices. But google pay requires the highest level, which can't be bypassed.

    And the software development. I wouldn't be surprised if the total cost is close to the market price. Apple doesn't really need to make profit with this, but to create a market first.

    Same, running a xiaomi mi 6 since early 2018 with LineageOS and it's still perfect for me. Sure, new phones have better cameras and screen but the difference is not that noticeable. I'm using a google camera app so that improves the pictures significantly so that compensates for my needs

    Check out Ladybird tho, from serenity os project (it also works in Linux). It's developed by an open source community, and some companies are sponsoring it's development. It's not at a usable point, but it's development has been impressive. If more money is donated by other companies it could be an alternative, maybe

    This is an interesting open hardware and software project for creating a multi fx pedal. The cool thing is that it's fully customizable, new plugins can be created or added from other members of the community, or buttons can be remapped etc. The guy that made this video has developed some plugins to run some neural network models that imitate real gear (similar to NAM), although due to the limitations of the processing power of the chip they are simplified so they are less cpu intensive. Nonetheless it's a cool project!
