Classification of combinatorial model categories presentable by simplicial presheaves on a Reedy category
@Denis-CharlesCisinski A reference please would be welcome. And I think that your comment is an answer.
comment
Model category of diagrams with the colimit detecting the weak equivalences
@MikeShulman Naively I believed that the transport of model structures would give the projective model structure since the right adjoint (the constant diagram functors) takes (trivial) fibrations to objectwise (trivial) fibrations. And a model structure is determined by these two classes of maps.

The binary product of two presentable objects
I don't care about the first question by the way. Even if I am curious to see a counterexample. The existence of a regular cardinal $\mu$ is sufficient for what I need.
comment
The binary product of two presentable objects
I understand the key point: there is a set of $\lambda$-presentable objects up to isomorphism, hence the existence of $\mu$. Your answer will be cited in one of my future papers like I cite a paper. Thanks.

Lindelöf hypothesis claim
@GerhardPaseman You could update Wikipedia yourself, that would take a few minutes :-), it's how Wikipedia works (I won't do that since I am not an expert of the domain and I know nothing about this problem).

Homotopy limit of model categories in the category of categories
Maybe you could have a look at this paper : arxiv.org/abs/1010.0717 if you don't know it already.

On mathematical arguments against Quantum computing
Naively I believed that the main problem against quantum computer was the absence of quantum error correction until Peter Shor found out such an algorithm.

Is Feferman's unlimited category theory dead?
@user40276 I have one, hopefully not too far-fetched :-). If you assume that the set of all sets is actually a set, all categories have a set of generators and cogenerators: all objects. Then e.g. a lot of miraculous left and right adjoints start "existing".

And also for the OP, the answer below the link I gave : it talks about Feferman's axiom which is a conservative extension of ZFC. Note: I am not a set-theorist either, my knowledge in this field is therefore limited.

Is Feferman's unlimited category theory dead?
@DenisNardin And the link I give also says : "But should they do this? [i.e. using this approach] For most purposes, I don't think so. The main purpose of universes is as a simplifying device of convenience to stratify the full universe by levels, which can be fruitfully compared by local notions of large and small. This makes for a very convenient theory, having numerous local concepts of large and small."

Is Feferman's unlimited category theory dead?
I don't understand why the problems you are talking about are objections to a ZFC-based set-theoretic foundation for category theory. The only problem is the acceptance or not of the notion of Grothendieck universe and it seems that this answer explains how to get rid of this notion (but to be sure, it is required to reread carefully every use of Grothendieck universes in the mathematical literature and I did not do that).

Extending a functor up to homotopy
My goal would be to find a Quillen equivalence $\mathcal{M}\to \mathcal{N}$ such that the composite functor $\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{M}\to \mathcal{N}$ is extendable to a functor from $\mathcal{B}\to \mathcal{N}$. There is no canonical choice for $F'$. Maybe there is a way to encode all the possible choices. I would be interested in seeing how similar problems are treated in the literature.
