I try for yesterdays date. Kids get some legal protection I want.

What matters is the whole community. Statistically it happens to someone in your community. Society wasted a lot of fuel (read global warming) just on low tire pressure.

Surveillance is a problem. So is global warming.

Most countries will assist investigations of their own citizens who break laws like this and send them to whatever country the law was broke in. Sometimes a country will decide some law is invalid in their country and so they do this, and sometimes the crime isn't seen as worth trying to bother with, but crimes are enforced in other countries all the time. This isn't just the US, the US also sends its own people to other country. Most countries figure if you would "hack" someone in a different country you will do that at home too so they don't want you. There are lots of treaties that outline this in great detail.

There is a reason most computer crime gets traced to Russia, North Korean, or Iran - those countries will protect their own from this type of crime.

It doesn't matter though. Countries can easially say who is trusted to provide age verification. Just like I can make my personal web server answer to google.com - but if somehow your computer connects to that it will warn you that it isn't a trusted site.

They can, but both of those are often encrypted such that it is at least hard. TPMS isn't encrypted so it is easy to figure out what cars are going by.

You can get close enough just clipping some weights of the same weight as the sensor to the valve stem. A static balance isn't hard to do - not nearly as good as the proper dynamic balance the tire shop will do, but often good enough.

If you didn't check your tire pressure in the last 20 minutes how do you know you didn't just drive over a nail and get a slow leak? TPMS checks every few seconds so you know when there is a small problem. Anyone will notice a fully flat tire, but a lot of people used to drive on low tire pressure for months without knowing. Once someone knew their tire had a problem they would check daily (until they got it fixed), but many people never knew in the first place, and even though who did know often took a week before they found out - they of course have no way to know since nobody checked their tire pressure daily much less every 20 minutes.

Depends on the attacker. The GPS is better if you have access to the car, but getting that is hard. Any idiot with a radio can read the TPMS sensors of every car going by - there is nothing that even slows them down.

Blockchain has some useful ideas, but it also has some ideas that fail my test. For starters the personevouching age needs to be identifiable so they face liability if a kid is found with an adult id. Real cryptographers will have a lot of work needed to get the idea workable.

Not if it is tracable to you and you are legally liable for your mistakes. When is is some stranger who can't be persicuted it is easy to find someone verify any age you want. When they have a real risk though it is not so easy.

the data brokers won't change. If they cared to they would already do this.

the law is implemented to that it is useful for everyone to claim they are 3. It will be trivial for kids to change their age (via exploits that will spread like wildfire in schools), so it is useless for keeping kids from adult only content.

if you want a useful system you need cryptographic traceability to someone who leagally vouches for ages - this is a complex system that cannot be mades in a year.

Tank use fell off greatly over a year ago. Russia still has some and uses them, but they have to be selective because they no longer can afford to lose 30-60 per day and know it. They seem to be a bit selective on artillery use compared to a year ago, but they seem to have a lot they don't worry about losing.

Of course every loss the Russians face is good, but the goal isn't those losses, it is Russia out of Ukraine.
