I think the origin was that Surface devices had a dedicated Office button, so you could press Office+W to open Word and such. Office+L opened LinkedIn

But this button was internally just mapped to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win, giving this shortcut. I am actually impressed that it uses your default browser though instead of forcing Edge.

Probably just that Pikachu often says “pika pika”, and sometimes variations like “pika pi”

I’m glad to hear that

I think I’ve heard that Microsoft is replacing it though unfortunately (but I don’t have a source, so take it with a grain of salt)

Same here. I really want to like The Witcher 3, but after trying to play it for 10 hours without feeling any enjoyment, I just gave up.
