Hotel HDMI System Crash

Text on the meme

Dear Guest Please be advised that connecting any device to the television via the HDMI ports will cause the entire hotel system to crash. Therefore we must ask that you only use Chromecast built in to cast from your device and do not connect any other device throughout your stay. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your cooperation.

What it means

A hotel notice warns guests not to connect any device to the television through HDMI because it will crash the entire hotel system. The absurdly fragile infrastructure makes the notice funny, especially since guests are told to use Chromecast instead. People share it as a reaction to overcomplicated warnings or systems that fail catastrophically from a simple action.
