The video was great! People are getting so miserable.

I found the video terrible, pretty much everything about it: The plot, the acting, the filming and post-processing and the mock-up of Thailand. TBH, I didn't even think they had actually shot (much of it) in situ since a lot of the scenes were evidently not the original location they claimed to be. I wouldn't say Thailand (and especially Bangkok) is all summed up better than portrayed, but it is very different indeed.

I do agree that people are getting miserable, though. If I were the Thai tourism center, I'd have doubled down and told people: That short portrays the idea of Thailand from people who have obviously not spent much or even any time here, come and see what it's really like.

iPhones are designed to call emergency services even without activation or when roaming on different networks.

Huh? All cellphones ever built can call 911 without activation or when roaming on different networks. iPhones are nothing special.

It's actually a gross mischaracterisation because you won't be even able to use Siri on a non-activated phone or a different networks thanks to f'ing cloud services.

I doubt I could justify a purchase like that for my own house. It would be cool if one of the hotels I stay at when traveling for work incorporated it. Would be a fun thing to try out but not sure it would be something I could justify purchasing.

Hotel showers are where I want the water to run longer before I set foot in the bathroom. Legionaries' can be a bitch.

Not sure I catch your drift here. Anyway, that's mostly a problem in places where the water in the pipes turns stale, i.e. your home during vacation. A somewhat frequented hotel will have even less of a problem then your home while you're at work due to a lot more circulation in the building (and room service using the water in your room while you're away).
