Want to go really cheap and tighten a broad range of newton meters? Use a wrench, a luggage scale, a calculator and science lol

People use this trick to calibrate torque wrenches… I use it to tighten my motorcycle brake caliper bolts

Yes you can tamper the executables if it’s you on your pc compiling the code and upload it to the release page…

BUT if you use ci/cd pipelines, you can almost be sure it’s not a human who is in charge of compiling. It’s a robot who automatically clones the repo, launch the build and upload the artifact to release. It’s much more transparent this way

Yeah but it’s too easy to compare with non-democratic countries and regimes. You know from the start they are not fair to citizen.

You should compare with the best (if any) not the worst.
