We just got fucked by this today. My 22 year old daughter doesn't have a driving license or a credit card but does have a passport and it didn't work. She's now got a kids phone. I haven't tried the 20 year old yet who is in the same situation...
They have 5 days to unfuck this or I'm literally rolling out Pixels + Graphene to the family.
Exit plan for the Mac is a Linux desktop.
You are aware that the law applies to Linux desktops and will likely be included in a system update soon?
This seems like a rational approach as opposed to say, calling Apple support.
Could you emit a virtual credit card for them that you then cancel after the verification is done?
What "unfucking" looks like though? The law is mandated in the UK. What other way of age verification would work better for them?
