Nice writeup. As a belgian, I do not think I know anyone or any apllication that uses you eID pin. I know you have to create one at the municipality when you collect your id card, but I doubt anyone would ever remember it. ItsMe has universally replaced all scenarios that would have needed an eID with pin, and booting the ItsMe account, while I think you in theory could do it with an eID and reader, I do not think anyone does. I know I have such a reader from a developer conference decades ago from when eID was lauched. Not sure it would even work on 2026 OS'es.
There are many inconsistencies in the picture: the feet with no bank face, the randomness of having hands or not for the banks drinking beers, how some of tbose beers are incorrectly held, the magic bottom half-torso on the left side, the hand-held pen-rocket launcher squirted red ink, how that is held in the driver's hand.
Having a visual thumbnail is extraordinarily important for clickthrough rate on social media platforms which support them, which is most these days. I don’t think you should prejudge articles for doing what they’ve gotta do to get readers.

Is the top image AI slop? It feels like it, and it makes me wary about reading past the TL;DR...
How are you not sure?

I'd say it's worth a read, if only to get to the $200 bit.
