The very first episode of The Grand Tour (The Holy Trinity) was about how awesome hybrids are (the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari). Granted, those cars are worth over a million dollars.

You can machine anything to any tolerance, assuming that you can measure it (and you have enough time.) In other words, you can create these tiny parts using relatively crude tools. (Files, saws, lapping, grinding) The critical part is bein

I've torn out several Asterisk systems because that random local dude grew tired of dealing with Asterisk. Toshiba, which is a competitor of Avaya, does get close to that.
