AFAIK there hasn't been a single death in Finland involving one. Biggest thing is that they stick out like a sore thumb in traffic so you reduce the risk of getting driven over by an inattentive car driver by multiple orders of magnitude.

I was basically after that same concept - create that credential, and have the website only verify it's legit and nothing else.
I think my example of how it's currently done for basically everything in Finland just confused people, I wasn't suggesting every country implements adult age checks with their banks.

The Holocene extinction event is just going to be the sixth one so far, and it certainly won't be the last. As the saying goes, "life finds a way".
We just won't be around to see it.

Still a lot safer than actual mopeds.

Here in Finland they are mopeds (EU classification L1e) - limited to 45km/h, allowed on the road and most bike lanes, can be driven without a license if you were born before 1985 (grandfathered) otherwise requires the quick and cheap AM license you can get at 15.
Which is why they are almost entirely advertised for the elderly, literally known as senior scooters, as a vehicle that doesn't require a license means you can keep driving one even if the doctor takes your drivers license.

Was an example of the security, not who is running the service. But I mean, guess who knows if you pay for OnlyFans or stuff like that?
Your bank.

And like I said, it's only really secure if the service doesn't keep a database of logs connecting the two.

Depends entirely on how it's implemented, because the website doesn't need to know who you are, only verify that you are over 18. Which can be done reasonably securely - you generate a random ID on a secure service (e.g here in Finland, we use our online banking stuff for official verification purposes), give that ID to the website, and the only communication between the two of them is "Is id 123 valid and an adult? Yes/No".

Now, if that "secure service", most likely a government contract done as cheaply as possible turns out not to be, and they keep logs linking those IDs to the URLs requesting verification, then the entire thing goes belly up.

Self-driving cars are a thing, Weymo is doing pretty fine.

But you might be able to spot a few (dozen) teeny-tiny (huge, bulky and extremely obvious) differences between a Waymo and a Tesla cybercab.

the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube’s recommended brainrot anyway

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a "Most Relevant" section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
...for now.

If it isn't ridiculously expensive and inefficient, it doesn't really fit the definition of a triple-a game, because it specifically is the term for games with the highest production values and costs.

Interestingly in the US it isn't, gold is measured in Karat (k/Kt), and Carat (ct) is the unit of weight.

1 Karat is 1/24th gold, 1 Carat is 200 milligrams.

Us sharing a 1000+ km long border with russia might have something to do with that.

And even then, military service isn't actually required, you can do a siviilipalvelus (lit. "Civilian service") instead.
