I want to be able to tie digital credentials to my identity so if they are compromised or I loose access I can recover them by providing my national ID documents. Similar how I do with my bank app, I go to the bank, show my ID, sign some fo

Have you looked at the new crop of arm-based windows laptops?

You can always use portable drives, cloud, or a NAS to store photos. In either case you need a backup, storing everything on one laptop is a bit limiting.

A lot of new windows laptops (finally) have a 16:10 ratio or even 3:2 on microsoft surface.

The old style friction shifters should also be much easier to maintain and repair. Modern indexed shifters are more likely to have issues where due to cable and housing stretch the indexing gets unaligned and you have to adjust it periodica

I'm in good company with all the modern UI toolkits and css libraries that have utility classes and container components which make the code I write reusable and composable. It's way better than using classes as "hooks"
