    Would a fingerprint uniqueness hold up in court?

    It kinda feels like saying: “we know the crime was committed by someone who’s this tall with this hair color and this skin color and has this tattoo on the right arm and who speaks these three languages and we have never seen anyone else who matches all of those things so it must be you”

      If it points to your IP but not your PC - probably won’t hold. Same if IP is wrong but fingerprint is fine. But if both are matching, there is no doubt. You know, not many Windows 11 Pro Laptops with intel 125H, 4060m, 1440p 144hz screen, Firefox version, exact same font list, system language, setting preferences exist on the planet. It is a fingerprint in the similar way an actual fingerprint works.
