It’s disappointing to see Google discontinue their Chromecast line. There are certain use-cases that a small, simple, dongle is perfect for that an overpriced streaming box is not, such as travelling or setting up a dumb TV projector for a meeting room. Plus, an underpowered device makes it harder for app developers to load their Chromecast UI with rubbish (although they try).
I don’t use my Chromecast anymore, but I did for a long time. It was the only way I watched TV. I’m sad to see it go, but I guess the Google graveyard comes for all in the end.
