How to Automatically Mute your Mac When it Wakes Up From Sleep
Macs are a powerful machine. And if you happen to own a MacBook, then chances are most of you don’t bother to fully shut down your system. I once had a 120 days uptime on my MacBook Pro and it still worked flawlessly (unlike my previous Dell Inspiron). The only time I shutdown or restart my Mac is when there is a system update or if I’m not going to use it for more than a week.
However, there is one little problem here. I often fall asleep while listening to some Ted videos at nights, and the next morning when I turn ON Macbook in my office, well everybody got to listen, what I was listening to the other night. Now, thankfully, Ted videos don’t grab people attention as much as other things on the Internet (something that rhymes with corn, Cough! Cough!) But hey, we are not judging.
