can i ask siri on my iphone to turn on my Mac

seeing as Apple is supposed to be the biggest and baddest ecosystem around it would seem logical that I could ask Siri on my iPhone to turn on or do things on my MacBook. Is this possible? If so, please enlighten me. If not, why? 🤷‍♂️

It is not possible to ask Siri, on your iPhone, to control your Mac. Why? Well, the Mac has its own Siri.

Having said that, You have your Mac turned OFF and at that point there is nothing you can do to execute a command while it is OFF. The Mac would have to be ON, Unlocked and Running and then you can execute the Siri commands directly on it.
