Microsoft brings tabs to Windows 11's File Explorer

Microsoft is ready to introduce some new features to Windows 11 that can help with hybrid work. One of the most significant changes is the redesign of File Explorer. The app now gets tabs and offers you a way to "see all files in one centralized place." It will get features like file pinning and tabs, so your frequently visited folders are easily accessible. The video demo above shows that you can right-click on a file and select "Add to Favorites" to pin it. To keep multiple taps open, you just need to click on a plus sign on the top left to start a new tab, similar to how browser tabs work.

Twitter is finally testing out an Edit button

After years of many users asking for it, Twitter is teasing that it's working on an Edit button. The company says it's been working on the feature since "last year" and previewed what it will look like. The option is kept within the three-dot menu in a tweet. It's unclear how the feature will work. All we know is that it'll give you the option to edit a tweet after it has been posted.

Twitter plans to roll it out first through Twitter Blue Labs, which offers beta features to Twitter Blue subscribers. The company plans to "learn what works, what doesn't, and what's possible" before bringing the option to everyone.

Patent filing shows Apple's plans for game controller concept

It looks like Apple is thinking about what it can offer in the gaming space. A patent filing shows what the company is thinking about regarding gaming controllers. The filing is titled "Magnetically Attachable Gaming Accessory, showing an accessory that could "readily attach to an electronic device, can be easy to use, and can have a small and efficient form factor." It seems Nintendo Switch-like, with the controller being either attached to the device or used separately (à la Nintendo Joy-Cons). But it will use magnets, which we presume rely on MagSafe or a variation of it.

One of the controller variations shown in the patent comes with a projector, which would be a new offering in the space. If it ever becomes a product, you don't even have to worry about having a bigger display nearby to play. We have to repeat this again, but patents don't always mean these ideas become actual products. But it does show us the headspace of the company when it comes to thinking about gaming. We're hoping it pushes through with this one.
