Has your PC ever crashed and you can't reach the reset or power off button?
There's a gadget that you can fit onto your PC, this gadget has a remote control button that allow you to switch your PC On/off or restart from up to 20 metres away.
Where to buy this gadget: [Removed by moderator - advertising link]
There are phone apps that can wake your PC or iOS device 'on-Lan'. The problem with this type of app is that once your computer turns off then you can't turn back on. You can only turn your computer on if it's set in a 'sleep' mode as opposed to being switched off.
Do you know of any gadgets that are available for under £27.72 that can do a similar job?
The video below is for the USB version, the PCIe version that I refer to is easier to install and the cost is similar.

Hi again @8cent8 I commented on another thread of yours, but this is another reminder to please refrain from posting links advertising a products, as this breaks our community guidelines. It's fine to discuss useful tools and pieces of technology, but we don't allow advertisements.

Hi Tori_Scope,
I am an independent living consultant, I also specialise in the area of Assistive Technology.
I'm sorry but I cannot give your forum users life-changing and very affordable solutions that address their environmental control needs.
I don't see the point of giving people advice on products that they will find near impossible to find.
Thanks

You ve had it now!
Instant ban. Lol
I mentioned the knob word, but I think I got away with it... -
Simple solution is have your computer set up within reach of where you are sitting. Either on your desk or on the floor right next to you. Both solutions cost you nothing.
