Knowing airb&b, they probably already have an "extra lightbulbs" charge baked in to the cost somewhere..

E: that, or the owner will catch you on spycam and not only charge you but get you blacklisted, too..

Replace your airb&bs spy cams with regular objects to get free surveillance equipment.

The real LPT is always in the comments

Oops, I unplugged the router. Only noticed when I was leaving.

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago

This is the way. I really do love @GluWu@lemm.ee's suggestion, but you'd have to find them first, this is far less time and effort consuming lol

This is a thing I like to do. But then people I'm staying with bitch about not having WiFi. I'd rather have no wifi and not be spied on 24/7.

I accidentally held down this little button on the back of the router for 10 seconds, then I accidentally logged in and changed the SSID and password. 🤷

Also your routers shitty default firmware doesn’t support a vpn client, so I accidentally flashed it with OpenWRT.

2/5 stars: Roku TV stopped working.

Also someone stopped by to drop off a letter for you. Said you are being served by the MPAA. Whatever that means lol. Would not recommend.

You should be OK, unlikely they will bother watching a camera over a few burned out bulbs.

Lol, have you ever met a ~~leech~~ landlord?

I'm not convinced that they aren't using the cameras without reason to to begin with, let alone having an excuse to use them. There's some freaks out there
