You can now enable USB boot directly from the Raspberry Pi Imager

I haven't seen anyone mention this but this is pretty incredible. After researching for about 30 mins how to enable USB boot for my 4th Raspberry Pi (I always forget), I found out you can enable it with a specially flashed sd card from the Raspberry Pi Imager!
It's an option in the imager to enable USB boot. Plug it into your raspberry pi, power it on, wait for the LED to flash regularly in about 0.2 seconds (I seriously waited a while and went "is that it?"), And then boot an OS image from USB. No fussing. Nothing else.
I just did this with Ubuntu and it worked great. Now I'll keep that as card as my USB boot enabling one.
