There’s more to it. It wasn’t Play Integrity blocking Graphene per se, but the fact that Revolut checked the build ID string, which was uniquely identifiable as Graphene for any build. This was then made more generic, so the block doesn’t work for now, but the workaround could break any moment and be made impossible by Revolut enforcing “strong” level of Play Integrity. Such bullshit.

I would never go with Samsung as a conscious choice for custom ROMs, mostly because all well-supported devices are pretty old, which means lower chance of getting something in a decent state for a reasonable price used, that wouldn’t require immediately swapping the battery already. Not to mention the Knox eFuse which means losing functionality when flashing a custom ROM. I’d argue a used Pixel is a better option, the 7 Pro can be had for relatively little money and is still a good phone.

The PS3 is such a nice console. There is something special about using a device with such unorthodox CPU (Cell BE), especially when you see it running graphics intensive games in (relatively) high fidelity, like The Last Of Us. The console only has 512Mb RAM and 256Mb VRAM, and the GPU equivalent of the 8600GT! But due to the architecture of the Cell BE, a lot of the graphics processing was performed on the SPEs, so basically on the CPU instead of the GPU.

NTFS has that exact feature too, a log of file operations on the disk. They’ve had it long before Recall was a thing.
