"Without any evidence to the contrary, the defendants could not force the system to be tested in court"

I don't get it... even if it was considered reliable by default, why would you not be able to test the system in court? There's a lot of things that the court might consider true by default, but you can still challenge them.

Like, take official records, say the list of births, deaths and marriages... It would take a lot to challenge something in that, the records are kept carefully, nobody generally has any incentive to falsify them... but with enough evidence, you can challenge anything... and if you feel it can be challenged you have the right to look into it, supoena records, witnesses or whatever.

I guess if you find a cellphone that supports open Android firmware, you can run it as long as you want. But I was looking at Android phones the other day, and the cheapest ones are $US 80, and they're not even that bad. Heck, I have a flagship Samsung, and the $160 phones I could run and not even feel really deprived. It even had an IR blaster which my flagship doesn't have, and 8GB RAM which is the same as some base model Samsung S23s. What's the point in keeping these things running 10 years?
