They can fuck all the way off. I’m not buying the new device, and if they kill functionality on Chromecast, I will be livid.
The new device casts.
This is true but the new device is significantly larger. Not easy to pack for a hotel trip.
Yes, but I think OP means, if they make old Chromecast unusable.
What does a Chromecast do these days, I don’t own one, but a lot of new tvs have casting features built in now. Sounds like they might just be a product that isn’t needed anymore. I’ve seen several TVs at work that even Windows can just connect wirelessly as another screen without any special apps or devices added. Sounds kind of like saying “sony stopped making VCRs” if the product has been outgrown
Chromecast, at least the one I own, does one thing and does it well. It plays whatever I tell it to play through my phone. I turn on my dumb TV, cast, done.
I will NEVER buy a smart TV. Ever. My experience with them has been subpar compared to a Chromecast.
There are different apps you can install on it. Jellyfin for watching my local media but mainly use it for the GeForce now app to play games.
GeForce now, hadn’t heard of it. Surprised Nvidia didn’t keep that exclusive to their hardware, although that may not exist anymore. I haven’t spent much time looking into these in years. In your opinion is it better than the Steam version / google stadia was (heard that one is gone)
This motivates me to check out Linux SBCs and something like FCast https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/fcast
I’ve used snapcast for multi room audio, haven’t heard of fcast, gonna check it out, thanks.
