If all they are asking for is an age, just put in ‘69’ and be done with it.
Proving your age is a different story. I’m not holding up my driver’s license during an OS install.
LOL - verification? Yeah, I got your verification right here! Here's your verification!
Weak, half-measure. You should be fighting against that for everyone regardless of which OS they use
Someone will release a version with none of this nonsense and probably make a ton doing it.
