On waydroid you need to do some hacky stuff. You need to root the VM, use ReZygisk to manage the root modules, flash the Play Integrity Fix Magisk module to spoof device properties, install TrickyStore, a module designed to spoof cryptographic hardware key attestation, Use Play Integrity Fork to force the VM to pass basic integrity checks. There's gennymotion which allows some apps to work.
Unfortunately this is what you need to do on any rooted Android rn :(
Click farms have racks of boards they're running. I've always thought about that approach. I'm sure there's a more elegant approach. At the end of the day it is just modulated voltages. I'm more of an iot type and I've definitely spoofed signals before. It's a bit like flipping bits or changing hex codes to get some desired outcome. The hardest part is locating where it is and then knowing what to change it to and also avoiding bricking the device which in the case of a VM isn't too big of a problem.
So basically just like with DVD players.
A bit more complex. With ripping DVDs there's a big prime number that's used to encrypt. Here is a Good video on the situation. Similarly though it is all modulated voltages at the end of the day. The number or really any number is just some particular pattern of voltages or magnetic poles or really anything you can modulate. The first computers were completely mechanical. Well technically speaking the first computers were people with pencils and paper.
But they also run a vm, for DRM. Which didn't help much btw.
