Mine updated OK on OS X. While I have fellow e-residents here...

- Is there a trick to getting "Load picture" (my own photo) to work? All I've ever gotten is "invalid response," and this is on Windows, OS X, and Linux.

- Supposedly new Estonian IDs use ECC rather than RSA, but some articles seem to be confusing whether the once-vulnerable-but-now-regenerated IDs use ECC as well. I don't think that's possible, as the smart-card hardware doesn't appear to support it. Does an ECC key require new hardware for pre-November 2017 cards?

- For those of you who have been following Estonian ID technology for a while, why didn't they use regular OpenPGP cards that would enable cardholders to use ordinary PGP/GPG clients? Did the Estonian standard predate the OpenPGP standard? Or were there technical reasons the Estonian government needed something else?

No idea. It doesn't work for me either.
