>A lot of apartments here have security devices which will call for assistance when the power is turned off.
that's quite rare and bad design if you can't go overnight without power
>Then there are devices that expect power 24/7 like fridge.
that's why i said to leave kitchen ON, not that Airbnb fridge on first night would contain anything requiring power anyway
> Also, since I was abroad, I relied on the Internet that was at the apartment that would be cut off if the power was turned off.
dunno about you, but when I sleep I don't use internet, but maybe you are able to disable some parts of brain and use internet while sleeping
>Also... you know... there are these funny little devices called switches that allow you to turn individual devices on and off without cutting power to entire apartment. Just saying...
Also you know maybe read the comment I'm replying to about faulty automatic switches impossible to switch off.
I thought HN readers pay more attention to what they answer to and the context, but after reading some replies to my comment I've lost all hope that this site is any better than Reddit.
