@9to5Mac Kinda creepy but also sometimes necessary to keep the property safe.

@9to5Mac Ugh. Will avoid some Kamasutra postures from now on.

@9to5Mac Best part: one of that sat, unpunished, for five months on AirBNB as a 'Superhost.' https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/09/business/airbnb-hidden-camera-invs/index.html

@9to5Mac
If anyone is doing a paper or a survey on the matter, I have a story for them.

One dear friend of mine from UK went to visit her dying father in Vancouver so she took an Airbnb in this city.

My friend smoked drugs in the apartment (she rented the whole apartment, not just a room) and the owner, who had placed 5 of these devices in a 2 rooms apartment, called the police.
My friend being English, she didn't know her rights and ended up arrested and kicked out of the Airbnb.
She ended up sued for detaining and consuming heroin.
When she got out of the police station, she had no more room, her money had been sucked by her bail and cold turkey.

Nobody knows what happened, but 12 hours later, she was found dead in an abandoned building, having bought fentanyl instead of the crap heroin she used to smoke in UK.

To me, this tenant who grassed my friend to the police through an illegal device should be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

We used to call her Bee, she was 48 and a beautiful soul.

@9to5Mac Any good tech to help detect them (other than a magnifying glass). Some sort of signal scanner?
