Install Windows 11 24H2 without TPM and Secure Boot requirements

Create a Windows 11 ISO with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool
Install Setup Patchium and run it (or try latest Rufus version directly and patch from there)
Home tab: Select ISO, wait during processing
Go to Install > Uncheck Remove upgrade and Check Disable Windows 11 compatibility restrictions, click Apply
Optional: To install without a Microsoft account, go to Install OOBE tab. Click Integrate lumOOBE. This will break sysinstall.
Click on Create ISO button
Use Rufus or Ventoy (prefered) to run installation from a USB drive

Some links from twitter on the topic of parsing PSD files (haven't looked into them in details). PSD include a flattened rasterized image so this is easy to load if that's the only thing you need. Most software / librairies have support for extracting this flattened data (e.g. stb_image.h does).

However if you want access to individual layers, render non-rasterized layers, emulate every photoshop features, extract or apply effects with more granularity, more code is needed. May range from easy to lots-of-work depending on what exactly you need.

As far as I know there isn't a trivial stb-like ready-to-use C++ library to do that sort of things. Posting all links here. Some are probably bloated or hard to use into your project, some lacking features.

TODO: Actually look into the pros/cons of all those.

Git Submodules - Basic Explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a sub-repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.

	import { writable } from 'svelte/store'

	// returns a store with HTTP access functions for get, post, patch, delete
	// anytime an HTTP request is made, the store is updated and all subscribers are notified.
	export default function(initial) {
	// create the underlying store
	const store = writable(initial)

	// define a request function that will do `fetch` and update store when request finishes
	store.request = async (method, url, params=null) => {

	let regex;

	/* matching a specific string */
	regex = /hello/; // looks for the string between the forward slashes (case-sensitive)... matches "hello", "hello123", "123hello123", "123hello"; doesn't match for "hell0", "Hello"
	regex = /hello/i; // looks for the string between the forward slashes (case-insensitive)... matches "hello", "HelLo", "123HelLO"
	regex = /hello/g; // looks for multiple occurrences of string between the forward slashes...

	/* wildcards */
	regex = /h.llo/; // the "." matches any one character other than a new line character... matches "hello", "hallo" but not "h\nllo"
	regex = /h.llo/; // the "" matches any character(s) zero or more times... matches "hello", "heeeeeello", "hllo", "hwarwareallo"

	@echo off
	SET st3Path=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe

	rem add it for all file types
	@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3" /f
	@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
	@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% \"%%1\"" /f

	rem add it for folders
	@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3" /f
