Tv and app creators I feel like are also a bit responsible for this by not making it easy to do timed logouts when you log into a device for the first time. Unless you have a mental or physical checklist going its not a high priority
Comment on This is why we have two-factor authentication.

The amount of people that leave things like youtube logged in on hotel room tv’s is also moderately staggering.

Does it really matter to anyone other than the streaming companies?
If the next guy at the hotel watches my HBO why would I care?
Worst case scenario I lose my spot in a show.

And lose your account and your google account if it’s youtube like the commenter said

We just stayed at a disney resort a few weeks ago. The tv prompted us to sign into OUR disney+ account…

Ellipsis are wrongly used again. Why do you people keep using shit you do not understand?
adam_y@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Typesetter here. How are you doing?
As it happens, you can use an ellipsis to indicate a thought that has trailed off. It is standard usage.
Also, in reference to your comment, you say “Ellipsis are wrongly used again”.
Ellipsis is the singular form, meaning you have an error there.
You can say, “ellipsis is wrongly used…”
Or you can say, “ellipses are wrongly used…”
The choice is yours.

I used it to indicate my trailing thought. I had more written, but cut it off.
Also, no one cares about your grammar policing and it contributes nothing to the conversation

Probably because most the TVs are designed to auto logout after check out. So when you run into one that isn’t it’s weird.

Interesting. I’ve actually never heard of them automatically logging out. That’s partly why I am hesitant to log in in the first place.

Most of the TVs that have apps like these in hotels specifically state on the login page that upon check out their system will automatically wipe your logins. At least in the several that I’ve used that have specific tight end apps like these. There are of course those cheap hotels that just have the Smart TVs in the rooms that you’re free to log in as you wish as long as you remember to log out. Usually in those cases I won’t log in at all or I may choose to log into like say Netflix if my kids are there and then are just remembered to log out. Of course I stay in a lot of hotels during the year as well. Think this year I’m already something like 20 or 25 nights in a hotel.
