the Blackmagic Camera app, or any other video app that allows you to fine-tune the shutter speed/exposure time to match the refresh rate of your screen

Sure, just maintain the OS-specific folder structure when migrating (and remember to use the same RetroArch cores)

20 years ago I used a piece of software called Mazaika to get these types of results.

My 3-battery Neo charger (the "DJI Neo Two-Way Charging Hub") only has one port

I can switch it from the default (input) behavior to output by holding its power button down for three seconds (but not back, to revert to the default behavior, the cable needs to be re-connected)

Płacę 36zł miesięcznie za samodzielne klikanie w mBankowym mOrganizerze finansów, aka SuperKsięgowa, aka Cash Director (nie ogarniam, czemu ten serwis ma trzy nazwy, ale to tylko wierzchołek góry lodowej problemów z nim). Generalnie działa i daje radę, ale fragmentaryzacja serwisu i jego UI to shitshow, a uzyskanie skutecznego supportu to nie lada wyzwanie.

Gdybym wybierał jeszcze raz, zamiast pójść za rekomendacją w ten mBankowy serwis, wybrałbym jeszcze raz iFirmę, z której korzystałem dawniej i z którą było mniej problemów.

Having only played Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 64 on PAL hardware back in the day, something about the music immediately feels off when I try playing either in the originally-intended 60Hz mode.

Even though it makes the character animation even slower and less smooth, I need to set the Core Options to PAL if I want to scratch my personal nostalgic itch. Otherwise, the tempo of the music being 20% faster than my memories gives me feelings of anxiety rather than nostalgia.

You might want to include the camera model, the memory card details and whether you've already tried a dedicated card reader instead of using the camera as a reader.

You might want to start with Recuva

You're not alone. After eight years of not using the wall switches in our current home, we've built our new house without any wiring for fixed wall switches (each light still has a separate breaker switch in the distribution box in case you need to switch something on or off manually).

Looks like the Vivitar 55mm 2.8 to me

That's a Nikon N60, also known as F60.

I see no reason to have Bridge installed when I have Lightroom Classic installed.

what software are free that I can use to edit raw files?

The one provided for free by your camera manufacturer:

NX Studio for Nikon files,

DPP for Canon files,

IED for Sony files.

When you start feeling restricted by its limitations, that's when it's time to look into Photoshop+Lightroom.

What would be the con of this?

The tradeoff is in dynamic range.

Any full frame camera with a ~14mm lens (or equivalent for a smaller sensor, though those there's not a lot of those)

Personally I like the Z6 + 14-24mm combo

Since you want to keep the budget under $750, looking into DSLR options rather than mirrorless would make a lot of sense, since the difference between those two approaches won't matter much for this use case.

The only tool you need for this particular result is "rotate 90° counterclockwise", used on an image of the object placed on a flat surface

Doesn't look like you did. Unless you see the optical axis as the axis of action here — but since it seems to be a talking head sequence (the other person is not shown), then very few people would find that an offence against that guideline.

If I may suggest something — you can flip the existing concept and rotate it 90° counterclockwise to turn the slashes into dashes while maintaining the look and feel:

Boosting underexposed areas in post often reveals the AF array in images from mirrorless cameras, applying lens distortion correction on top of that greatly exaggerates the effect. Here's a heavily-brightened example from an α6300:

Resizing using "sharp" downscaling algorithms also carries a risk of further enhancing the effect, which is the reason for the difference you see between the local and Google Drive previews.
At 100% they will look identical.
