In this episode of HACKED! we will have a closer look at my AC. Yes, my air conditioner unit. It is only 1 year old and it does in fact work very well. But on not so hot days, I noticed that the cooling power felt a bit weaker. So I dug through the internet and did some experiments to ultimately find out that the output power was actually limited. So let's try to "HACK" it and unlock full power ;-) Let's get started!
