That's been a joke for years: https://xkcd.com/1361/

#4well, they no longer produce the "display-only" Chromecast in favor of their "Google TV" sticks with Remote etc.
Not that much of a shock here, the market moved on from simple wireless display dongles.
Unfortunately no sign of Google Cast protocol being opened for general purpose use. Would be great to be able to run your own custom Receiver-device without needing a Google certificate...

#6Not really a surprise. I'd have been more unhappy a number of years back but mostly use an Apple TV these days. Not quite a 1:1 replacement for everything though.

When we all wear AR goggles 24/7 and the traditional web is killed off in favor of ad infested "free" apps.

#8So they are ending Chromecast, and also just launched the "Google TV Streamer" which seems to do the same thing, but "faster, more premium" whatever that means.
Seems to be a reason to charge people more for the same thing but slap the AI label all over it. But that's just first impressions.
Edit: and apparently the TV Streamer thing is twice the price of the Chromecast.
