@carlrichell During covid, my friends and I built a smart mailbox that would sterilize mail for people using UV lights back when people didn't know how the virus was transmitted. We used a raspberry pi for the project, which of course ran Raspbian for the OS. Much cheaper, easier to work with, and more well suited for the job vs a microcontroller. How in the ever loving hell would this project work if the "microcontroller" required age verification? Just an example of how dumb this idea is.

@carlrichell what about stuff like Amiga Workbench? They still make Amiga OS. How would something like that work?? That's not FOSS... but Amigas lack the ability to even phone out to facilitate age verification. Amigas don't even have an RTC. This entire idea is technologically infeasible.
