Not exactly the kind of housekeeping you want when it means the hotel's server uptime is scrubbed clean

Re: Lockable outlet?

On the one hand, having an electric plug that you can't unplug seems like a breach of safety. On the other hand, there are installations where an electricity cord just goes through a hole in the plastic face of what looks like an electric socket, presumably isn't a socket strictly but has similar stuff inside i.e. wires with electricity in them. Nothing to unplug, but you could pull really hard... if switching off doesn't work. Perhaps there are rather strict rules about what can be on the undiscussed end of the cord.
