Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line

The response time to my phone is laggy but the picture is crisp and clean. If the picture itself has issues you have bad internet or a bad unit.

Comparing it to a Shield or Apple TV it’s clear how weak it was. In fairness, seems like they could just sell both but of course it’s important that Google have a performant offering

It didn’t need to compete with them. From a consumer perspective it just needed to be functional at a fraction of the cost, which it was.
I hate google at this point but chromecast did exactly what it needed to do. Always have one in my backpack when I travel.
