I have a gen2 Chromecast, and like so many others, I refuse to upgrade it to a 99USD AI enabled Google Gemini device just to enable the family to watch their Netflix.

I think actually by now, my Chromecast could even be up again, and even if it isn’t (it wasn’t when I last checked, yesterday evening), Google confirmed that eventually it will.
