Google also said if hotels want to engage in “secret jamming” of people’s Wi-Fi devices at hotel properties, this “merely confirms that they recognize the importance their guests attach to having unrestricted access to Wi-Fi.”
Read more & here are the letters from Microsoft and Google to the FCC asking the FCC not to allow Marriott to block Wi-Fi. Pretty intense when both Google and Microsoft team up & completely agree on something.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

This is a very bad idea! Recently here in Nashville The Opryland Hotel was sited by the FCC for using said jammers.
