    As someone with an OG Chromecast and occasionally uses it to cast photos, any reason I should find a recently discontinued “last model” to replace mine?

    I feel like the constant renaming carousel hurts google more than a lot of people realize. Most people buying streaming devices don’t pay attention to press releases. The Chromecast name has a ton of recognition that now disappeared, and “Google Streamer” is too generic ever to get traction.

    Also the processor sucks. It was used in the fire stick in 2021. 99$ for something that isn’t gonna be some huge improvement over the $50 device.
