Turn off your Mac by sending it a text message
Do you ever go out shopping, to the pub or to the beauty clinic for your fortnightly waxing session and forget to put your Mac to sleep? I know I do, so I thought of a way to do it by sending a text message from my mobile/cell phone - well, technically we’re not going to be sending a text (SMS) message, rather a multimedia (MMS) message.
I have my mobile phone contract with Vodafone and I can send an MMS message to an email address instead of a phone number and Vodafone converts the message to an email.
You need to send an MMS message to your own email address and make a note of the email address it comes from - the ones I send from my phone are in the form 44xxxxxxxxxx@mms.vodafone.co.uk with the ‘xxxxxxxxxx’ being replaced with my actual mobile phone number. More.
