    I used my PC to watch TV from bed before sleeping and just set an auto shutdown so it would turn off after I fell asleep. Once I forgot to set the auto shutdown. So I did the only reasonable thing: I grabbed the laptop next to my bed, booted it, SSHed into my PC, shut it down remotely and then powered off the laptop. This was in the days of spinning hard discs and the entire scheme took at least 20 times as long as had I just gotten up, moved 1.5m (that’s 5 feet in freedom units) and shut it down directly.

      Nowadays you can send commands to your pc if you use KDE Connect, “systemctl shutdown” works wonders

    That’s not lazy. Lazy is me having a wireless charger next to my bed, in the exact spot my arm can reach over, so I can just set my phone in there without even trying.

    Roll back over, put the phone in your right hand and use the phone to get the little bit of distance. Being truly lazy requires ingenuity.
