trankillity commented on What EV Charger Do You Have at Home?
Had an EV for 2 years but don't drive a lot so just use a 15A socket in the garage. We've only ever needed to public charge on longer road…

localhost on How to Copy .md Files or .txt Files from Work Laptop to Personal Laptop
While this may be true, in my experience most corporate VPNs/Proxies will disallow access to local IP addresses/will only allow FQDN DNS…
Huh? How is that remotely related? That's like saying "I'd prefer Call of Duty over Skyrim".

trankillity commented on Win 1 of 2 DJI Mini 5 Drone Pack Worth $1,699 from JB Hi-Fi [Perks Members]
Slight correction - total prize pool is $3,398 (2x Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo). It's not "worth" $3,398.
I don't actually use Remote Play itself, just Remote Play Together which allows you to play "couch co-op" local multiplayer games over the…
