This one is interesting and potentially useful. Especially if you need to charge your fon poca for those holiday boomerangs while you're hitting the hotel gym or bar.
So apparently you can put any old card into the hotel light switch slot. How did we not know this sooner?

The bit that took me a while was the realisation that some hotels are shitty enough to not supply power to the room without you inserting a card in a slot! Never come across it, myself.

Hotel staff told me that you could put any old card in this thing - it's just to hold down a switch at the bottom. I had sworn to take the secret to the grave, but https://t.co/TDb7DA7M5f
