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.

      Dude, the TV isn’t even Smart TV, and the quality is ass, I think it is 360p or some shit.

      Hdmi ports aren’t meant to be used over and over. Plug in and leave be. Then again I guess they could just have an hdmi cable sticking out of it that cannot be removed and is being held in place by the frame. But why not just cast it?

        I recently went to a hotel that had something like that. A breakout box with HDMI in and RCA Video in even. They also had a special Netflix app that you could connect to your account temporarily with your phone or credentials.
