On Hoth, you philistine.
Fuck those A/C units that require leaving a card in them to work
I haven’t seen that but I believe you. Can you not just get an extra card from the front desk, or do they have it further enshittified in some way?
I’ve been in hotels where it’s just detecting that the slot is filled the card doesn’t matter. So you just use the cardboard sleeve the card came in.
Also been in newer ones that have RFID cards though that are harder but not impossible to spoof
Oh really? I can’t say I’ve come across the RFID style—basically every hotel I’ve stayed in over the past few years still happily takes my supermarket loyalty card in the power switch thing
How do you go about the spoofing of those and is it anything simpler than just creating a duplicate card?
Yeah you’d need cheap RFID blanks and a reader/writer. I do it with my phone easily enough. Just read the hotel card, copy, write to new card
Any card works though, you can probably buy blank ones for this purpose.
Eh, if you’re leaving your ac on all day when you’re out, that’s quite a waste. Card operation helps avoid accidentally leaving ac and lights on.
it really depends on for how long people leave and come back.
Cold rooms have improved my sleep and made my life better.
Spike?
I once considered moving from Seattoe to Bremerton, WA to take advantage of the much cheaper real estate. In attempt to get a feel for the daily commute, I decided to stay at a Super 8 in Bremerton for a week. 5 minutes into that experiment, I flicked on the AC unit that looks just like this one and it reeked of cat pee.
I did not move to Bremerton.
You judge a city by their Super 8?
You know from staying in multiple super 8s, this would be a pretty accurate way to gauge a town
That’s like judging a city based on its Arby’s.
I could fuck up some Arby’s right now. Never in my life have I wanted to be at a super 8.
Second time I’ve seen this meme… Never experienced it. They always sucked compared to even cheap window units. Half the time barely able to push below 22*. Granted I spent a lot of time as a kid on summer break locked up in a room with an 80s high end window unit that could get the room to 10* on a 25+* day.
Perhaps it’s more of an American thing, these are super common in budget hotels and have the ability to freeze you to death
I will never understand people who WANT to be cold. I’d rather be a sweatball than a little chilly. When I see one of these it usually get immediately turned off, because yeah, they do some fucking work.
edit: Apparently people who like to be cold are really sensitive about not being understood. 😂
Your opinion is wrong! Screw you for sharing it.
I’m going to make 10 new accounts just to downvote you, you heat lover.
Humid climates really necessitate it unless you want to swim in bed.
I don’t get it myself. Anything under 75f for me and I’m breaking out the parka. Of course, where I live I’d ice up an ac trying to get my place too much under 80f over the summer.
I’d rather the room be slightly colder than I want than warmer because I can put on a jumper, but the number of downvotes on you sharing your opinion is insane haha
Here’s an updoot to even it out a little, even though YOU’RE SO WRONG
“Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world, ‘No, you move’.”
You people who like the cold are WRONG and global warming is gonna take care of your bullshit in a couple hundred years! 😆
I’ve worked at hotels. People still figure out how to complain about these things.
Holy crap I stayed at a place In Portland last year that had this exact model. Amazingly it worked.
Amazingly it worked.
Are you doing a Yoda thing, or were you expecting it not to work?
I got it once I looked up what a Hoth is.
I am so fucking old.
You will check out with pneumonia guaranteed or your money back!
i have central cooling instead of this in my country ngl.
