I don't think you understand. Banks (or anyone who accepts large amounts of money) has a duty to have some idea of where that money comes from. There are anti money laundering laws.

Go open a bank account right now and try to deposit a briefcase full of $50,000 in cash and see what happens. You might, maybe be able to do it, but there will absolutely be questions.

This happens with cash too. If you take in a bunch of cash, you have a duty to know what it's from so that you're not facilitating terrorism or crime or subverting sanctions. In fact, of you handle cash or finance, you generally have to take training on these laws every year.

This thing is the definition of money laundering and was known for exactly those problems.

This is the biggest reason I don't own a smartwatch yet. I want to own my own health data, and not have it locked into Fitbit or Google.

You can use both on your phone to sync with each of them, yes. Immich and Google Photos won't communicate directly (and don't need to).

It's a good idea in case your Google account ever gets banned. (Say you issue a chargeback against Google Wallet or something.)

I have a lot of experience with both. As a tech savvy user, I slightly prefer KeePass. Syncing between devices is slightly more painful, but I find it to be more reliable, and it doesn't have the attack surface that Bitwarden does. (While encrypted, Bitwarden still really wants a web server and a local database connection.)

VaultWarden is probably better for those who can't be bothered to move a file around and want direct browser integration. With KeePass when you need a password, you'll make sure the username has focus and then alt+tab to KeePass and hit "autofill". Some sites won't take "username{tab}password{enter}" and you'll have to customize the configuration.

VaultWarden is better at prompting you to add new passwords. I prefer the workflow that's encouraged by KeePass, where you open the app first and use the app to open the URL. (You can do this in VaultWarden too, but it's less obvious.)

For images I highly recommend Immich. It's the Google Photos equivalent, and it works excellently.

I use SyncThing for documents, but photos from my phone go to Immich.

VaultWarden if you want all the features without paying $40/year.

Otherwise Bitwarden will either allow you to self-host OR allow you to share passwords with one other person (using their server), but not both.

VaultWarden just unlocks all the features.

The bear isn't likely to want to screw with you.

Which isn't a bad idea, but I'd still want some kind of parental controls like Android has to limit screen time. I don't need Netflix.com to be all or nothing, but I certainly don't want it to be four hours a day either.

Because one is on sale, and they didn't update the sale price. Or, alternatively, because you don't want to be an idiot that can't do basic math.

Who really wants to use Excel to figure out if the 24-pack of Coca-Cola or the 3 12 packs is a better deal?

Your life is easier and better if you can do this kind of simple math in your head.
