I'm sure windows activation will complain, but you should be able to dd your windows partition (or disk) over to the external disk, set up a bootloader (windows can do this, but something like grub or syslinux I know would work to hand off to the windows bootloader)
I don't know anything about bitlocker stuff, probably needs to be decrypted before this can work.
That's what I would try, even though it's not wrapped up in a single tool.
Not a mistake, I've got an ender 3 and a cr10. Both are fine, keep your expectations realistic and calibrate each axis, especially the extruders. Use PLA, consider getting a new build plate if your prints won't stick. I recommend flashing firmware on the ender 3 unless you know what was loaded onto it last, doesn't have to be fancy firmware just something you know for sure is configured for your printer. A cr10 should probably get firmware as well but I never loaded new firmware on mine and the controller is older so I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
Don't forget the cost of filament, if you print a lot you may spend more on filament in a year that your printer budget.
Resentment is usually a feeling which has little to do with ethics.
Actions are more easily analyzed for ethical value.
I guess that you're considering the action of showing resentment by being absent or cold to them.
From a utilitarian perspective this could serve the purpose of communicating your resentment indirectly which may increase the overall good by preventing this scizsm from infiltrating other parts of your life and others. On the other hand this outcome is not guaranteed.
If you apply value ethics of your actions it really depends on what ideals you hold yourself to.
If you take a completely honest person as your ideal, direct communication is probably more ethical than indirect communication, but indirect communication would still be superior to deceiving them into thinking you agree with them in any way.
Instead, you may idealize an honest pacifist who would value indirect communication higher than direct if direct would also come with conflict.
These are my thoughts, I am by no means an expert in ethics.
Just intellisense and other language servers. I remember when Microsoft was boasting about how much of their code was generated by intellisense. Now whenever I hear them hype how much ai written code they use I am reminded of it. It's not an llm but is still a type of ai.
I recommend making room on your drive using windows tools to shrink the windows partition before letting your Linux installer add new ones, or doing it manually. This is just so that no weird filesystem bugs show up after resizing your ntfs filesystem with Linux tools. Never had a problem with them but it's probably good to use Microsoft tools to mess with the Microsoft filesystem just in case.
I used to use Gentoo on my laptop, mostly for fun but also because I kept having issues on other distros (Ubuntu mostly) where I wanted to run the latest blender release but my libraries were out of date. On Gentoo I could easily get the most recent builds.
I think you need to start a project, accept it will be slow and painful, and don't become an expert before you start, just use the skills you have and see where they take you. The only thing that matters in software is that it works. The definition of working changes over time, but get that first working version and you will keep going.
very unsafe Rust 😅
