In the course of trying to understand why Windows 11 context menu shortcuts that use modifier keys don't work (The modifier tables don't get loaded apparently), I discovered you can open the current folder by typing "wt" in the explorer address bar.

Remembering my Grandparents who served during WWII, and those often forgotten: 2.5 million South Asians (including Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims), 1 million Africans (mainly Kenyans), and the 10s of thousands of Caribbeans (mainly Jamaicans). When they fought Fascism they fought it together. #VEDay

One thing I like about my Meta Glasses, is that I don't need to go to a thing to determine its state. Before, if I wanted to know if the curtains were closed at the other end of our house, I had to go there and find out. Now, I can just stand there and ask. It's the little things sometimes 🙌
