Interesting use cases

That's how Airbnb agents are trained. It's exactly the kind of phrase used in the famous "How I Got Banned for Life from AirBnB" post:
> Additionally, we consider this matter closed and will no longer reply to any inquiries regarding your account.

No. The Airbnb rep said EXACTLY that, as seen in the screenshot.

How much of a refund did they ask for, and how much did they get?
Before that stay (I'm the OP's roommate), we stayed at another apartment that had 0.5Mbps Internet instead of the claimed 10Mbps, no hot water, no computer desks when there were desks in the photos, no trash cans - for the first 3 to 5 days until all these issues got fixed through us bugging the building's management. All Airbnb was willing to refund was 10% of the nightly cost, times some number of nights, which amounted to USD 57. That was for a $2100/mo apartment.

I won't delete it.

Because there was no "laptop-friendly workspace" in the bedrooms. The host claimed that in the listing, and the only thing that remotely qualified was the dining table in the kitchen.

Not having the ability to specify 'Partial A/C' is exactly my suggestion to Airbnb.
The "reasonable solution" didn't work - we waited longer than what the host claimed it would take to make the place "cool as a fridge".
Why would we not be supposed to work in the apartment?
Right, it wasn't anyone's hard fault, so if I were the host, I'd charge 3 nights' worth and leave the situation with a clean conscience and quite a bit of cash for spending 30 minutes.

Nobody complained of no A/C in the bathrooms. You've misread Airbnb's social media agent's misguided reply. I'm the OP's roommate and I've clarified things at https://www.reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/comments/d1i53n/its_10...

Tabs being killed is most likely due to the low RAM on your Chromebook. I've been having 100+ open tabs for several weeks on my 8GB RAM Pixelbook, without problems.

Yes, the top row of keys map to F1 - F10. You can activate them if you hold the Search key while pressing them, or you can have Chrome OS "Treat top-row keys as function keys" (Settings -> Keyboard).

Speaker here. The discount codes were intended for the attendees, are unique, and they can not be redeemed twice. That said, I'd keep an eye for any Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.

The remote debugging part does require developer mode.
