Remotely shutdown/restart Windows via Linux on Debian/Ubuntu based Linux

Need samba-common package first, install via apt:

$ sudo apt-get install samba-common

Then use this command to shutdown the computer remotely(replace ip, username and password with your own):

$ net rpc shutdown --ipaddress ip --user username%password

Add -r if you want to restart, not shutdown:

$ net rpc shutdown -r --ipaddress ip --user username%password

After execution, here is the success message:

Shutdown of remote machine succeeded

If receive these messages below means something failed:

Could not connect to server 192.168.1.55
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND
Could not initialise pipe winreg. Error was NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

Mute certain tab in Google Chrome/Chromium

Open chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting and enable “Enable tab audio muting UI control” option, then restart your browser.
chrome-enable-tab-audio-muting

Now we can have mute option on each tab:
chrome-enable-tab-audio-muting-menu

After that, there will be a muted icon on the tab, and if you want to unmute it, there is also an unmute option in the menu of the tab.
chrome-enable-tab-audio-muting-muted

Very useful when surfing to some noisy websites!

BTW , the demo screenshots came from the trailer of Transcendence, a very very awesome movie!
