Fuck my prior preparation day with the Chromecast with Google TV before the hotel checking....
I don't travel too often so my Chromecast needed some tweaking (AKA updating system and apps etc), I like to take it as a travel companion and found out this shitty frame around the TV.
It is the first time it happened to me, I can see this being annoying for frequent travelers.
I'd leave a terrible review solely based on this, fuck everything about that.
At least add an HDMI port below the TV as a part of the cabinet if you don't want customers to fiddle behind the TV..
I stayed at a hotel in California near San Francisco that did this. 2 days into my trip I figured out that they had mounted a remote plate around the corner and underneath.
It may be for the aesthetic rather than to stop people from tampering behind the TV.
Neither would surprise me. Been in rooms where they threaten to charge anyone that unplugs an hdmi cable
It's more likely that it's a theft deterrent.
The TV is innocent, it was framed!
Last month I stayed at a W Hotel - Marriott’s upscale hotels. Their way to encourage paying for TV was to simply not even offer free internet access. I was there for a week and they wanted $75 for internet access. I pay that for a month of gigabit fiber at home.
Why does this photo(?) look like digital concept rendering from ~2000 without antialiasing?
Shitty light and shitty camera.... oh and shitty upload quality compression I guess.
Weird. Must be some scaling issue in Boost. It even looks like that when I view it full screen and zoom in:
Back in the day they used to do similar things. I have disassembled, with tools, some hotel mountings and such, so I could hook up my Super Nintendo or PlayStation back then.
I've stayed in hotels like that, but they usually have some panel or port somewhere with TV inputs.
And very likely, the TV would be in Hotel lock mode and ignore any devices connected to it.
Go out and explore?
definitely an option after a long day of already going out and exploring and being tired at 9pm
Of course, but I am not that adventurous to do that in CDMX at night.
is it a plastic or some weak kind of frame or straight up cement/plaster? how completely unnecessary >_>
I'm out of the hotel right now, and didn't pay much attention to it, but it seemed like wood
Invest in a cheap amazon projector or large expensive tablet add one more thing you gotta schlep around on business trips
