Yes, but you need Windows Professional to act as a server. Windows Home editions can only act as a client.
- Comment on The return of pneumatic tubes 1 week ago:
you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later

For example: www.pipedreamlabs.co

You can just use Sky Map and search for Sagittarius.
What you actually want to search for is Sagittarius A*,, but Sky Map doesn’t have that, so the Sagittarius constellation is close enough to give you the general direction.

- Comment on How do you tell the difference between dream and reality? 4 months ago:
Hah. Whenever I am aware that I am dreaming, I try to look in a mirror. It always does something weird. Like one time my reflection’s eyes were shut. Another time the mirror was like a window to the real world where I could see myself sleeping in bed. That was trippy.
I’ll have to try looking at my phone.

You mean like electrolysis? That’s already in use, and has been in use for a very long time.
If you meant something new that doesn’t require a bunch of energy input, then yeah, that would great.

Why is increasing salinity of the ocean bad? Doesn’t that happen all the time on a much greater scale as ocean water evaporates into the atmosphere?

You mean like Brock Turner, the rapist?
