Close your pc with cellphone

In the following we explain how to close the 'own' computer only by phone.

 

We will need the email client Mozilla Thunderbird, an add-on for it and some settings.

1. Download and install Mozilla Thunderbird

 

After installation we will need to configure an email account to use the application, or create a new account or use an existing one and configure it.

2. Download and install add-on [/ COLOR]

 

Save 2.1 add-on

2.2 Opening Mozilla Thunderbird and go to Tools -> Add-ons

After installation, restart the application.

 

3. Configure your inbox.

 

Create a folder under the inbox where all messages sent will be redirected in order to close the PC.

Right click on the index, New Folder, then name it whatever you want, in my case Shutdown.

Tools -> Message Filters.

Click on New to create a new filter, then configure it as follows.

The idea, in this case is that all messages with the subject 'Shut The -beep- Down' will be moved to the Shutdown folder that I created under Inbox.

 

In my case 'Shut The -beep- Down' but you can replace it with anything else.

 

4. Configuring add-on.

 

Create a bat file type that contains

 

shutdown.exe-s

 

shutdown.bat name it and move it to the folder where you installed Mozilla Thunderbird.

 

 

In Thunderbird, click the Shutdown folder, Tools -> Mailbox Alert Preferences

and make the 2zxqh5l.jpg

 

Check the 'Execute the command', select the file and OK shutdown.bat.

 

IMPORTANT: Be sure you select the folder before making settings in 'Mailbox Alert Preferences' otherwise you off your PC every time you get a new email.

 

To reduce the time between when the received message and fighting the PC when you run the command, go to Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings and replace 'Check for new messages Every' 10 minutes with a

Now you can lock your own PC from anywhere, as long as it is connected to the Internet and you have a phone.

 

Try to send a message to your email address with the subject in my case 'Shut The -beep- Down', if you have set as your filter.

 

If everything was done correctly, when Thunderbird will check posts, the PC should be closed

    • imbadon.com If u deleted me from the content, it is your problem. This 200 euro is not money at all. But you... just scammer. People should know about you. I can share the whole conversation if you want, but it will not change that you are a scammer. 
    • For upcoming changes, You should consider making those 3 tabs (or whatever more You will have with new games) more visible and standing out, because right it looks like all topics hidden under those 3 tabs.
    • While not particularly active over the years, I've been around for as long as I could remember, so here are my 2 cents too. On top of what has already been said, I'd like to touch on a few thing that might be improved upon. While it is easy to notice and say "there's lack of engagement" or "community has outgrown the ganre", I've seen numerous forums get forgotten and die while others continue to thrive to this day. The main issue, in my humble opinion, is that the sector has been commercialised to an unsustainable extent. When nobody is willing to share anything, even if it is just a rework of an open-sourced or already-shared resource, the sense of "community" gets deminished. Now back on the pressing matter. From what I've seen, the lack of engagement could be circumvented with a redesign and functionality expansion that would/could/should include: - a built-in chat functionality. - incentives for engagement/interaction, ideas of which I'll list as separate pointers, as not to limit your creativity. But just as an example, from a more user/human perspective, having an easily identifiable way to get into "the club of the cool kids on the block", figuratively speaking, is an incentive on its own. - separation of the reputation into reactions and reputation. One to be used to posts, such as up-vote and what not, while the other to be awarded as means of appreciation. - automated ranks with actual benefits/perks, not like the current ones providing nothing. - the ability to hide text for user/group of users, not just premium/no premium. - increased visibility of the HOT topics and the RECENTLY ACTIVE threads/posts. Can be also expanded to most liked posts, etc. ps.: I'll update my post when I have some free time on my hands.
    • There was no way I didn't refunded or delivered files. I don't see You on my conrtact list on Discord, can You send me a message or at least tell me for what project was this updater? I always resolve if I can't deliver on time or customer bailes.
