    And just like that I gave up on casting and shifted back to a dedicated streaming PC like it’s 2010. I changed the way I consumed my media for you, Google, and your thanks in return was betraying us by retiring the equipment that we came to rely on left and right. I’m still pissed about Chromecast audio.

    God I’m tired of this shit.

          I’d rather my TV run smoothly, crippling performance to save $40 is not something I’m interested in, personally.

        I was thinking the same. Matter integration and a faster processor. I think the hard part for users is the price point. They’re “upgrading” the Chromecast, which is good, but they are using a higher tier product to do it, so it will be treated as a graveyard project.
