Unfortunately, he left on a sour note after the hotel charged him a $500 smoking fee following his stay.
The problem? Griff says he’s never smoked a day in his life, let alone in a hotel room while staying there with his family.
Griff, a senior reporter at The Points Guy, took his story public on social media after the hotel allegedly charged him the $500 fee based on readings from an air quality sensor. The sensor data was supplied by a third-party company called Rest, which claims hotels can easily collect fees from smoking events.

The problem is that there is more more of places with censorship laws and age verification. There is one website in particular that made it mandatory for everyone regardless of where you live to provide age verification - the website did walk it back but still.
Well that’s depressing

This goes to show that Microsoft is completely pulling the plug on first class touch support for their products to support surface devices. Since Panos Panay left Microsoft, surface devices have been losing what makes them special.
