Yes. I did mention APN (Apple Push Notifications) to Beeper Push Notifications which then routes via FCM for Android. The whole setup does require active server cost + time to work on the app to bring it to parity with iMessage Features.
I would have preferred Hot Chips.
Great! Finally Local CDN and other can be available.
I also hope they fix the sync stuff, as uBlock can't seem to download already backed up version of my settings.

Yup. Looks decent enough. Let's see next year how it compares against the newer Gens of Intel & Apple
Agreed. But the recent Nuvia acquisition and others, I hope we get something good.
Yup. They spoof you as Pixel OG and you get Unlimited Backup in OG resolution. I have been using it on my main acc for past 6 months or so.
Honestly, the MD3 You had been to my liking. I agree lots of features are getting Pixel Exclusive nowadays, but let's not blame Google for this. The general space of Android in last 2 releases has been refinement over time but obviously with contestable decisions like AppData folder access and others. On the other hand, Android OEMs are not innovating enough in Android Space like they used to do at one point. They are just focusing on UI changes and not features.
Still crazy I would say for Google. Their market size is lot larger, and they release new phone line-ups every year.
Pretty sure there was a flag to disable it.
I recommend Smart AudioBook Player. Has loads of features with decent library management
