So great to ignore random market trends until it's old news: two years after it happened I now learned that Google stopped selling the Chromecast. I was asked by family if I could get them another one. Well we don't want a Google TV streamer so the answer is nope. As @mainframed767@infosec.exchange and others warned, don't commit to #google products. They'll eventually abandon or "at best" deprecate whatever product or service you were enjoying.
