The Verge - The Chromecast, a $35 dongle from Google that lets you stream videos from your phone, tablet, or PC to a television using Chrome, has its minimalist instruction manual printed on the inside cover of the box. There are just three directions: 1.) Plug it in, 2.) Switch input, and 3.) Set it up.
It's not the first time when Google integrating Apple service into its system. Apple Music will be available on Google speakers soon.
Google Cast devices, like the Chromecast and Google Home cause temporarily Wifi dropouts for users around the world. The issue has been confirmed for routers from Asus, Linksys, Netgear, TP-Link or Synology. In some cases the router is totally inaccessible for a while, other users report the router only disconnects from the internet. TP-Link and Linksys have confirmed the issue.
This is getting old now, but every time I see it, I think the same thing. Why would Linksys or other router makers have to do anything about this? It's clearly a Google Cast infraction. They need to fix their intrusive garbage.
Specifically, Office Depot has the device listed on its website for that price, down from the $35 price tag it usually carries there.
Chromecast for bigger fun!
Was going to buy one, they are all sold out lol geez!
Will this do anything that my netbook that I have connected to my tv can't do?
Pretty nice price tag also :)
There's something not being shown here.
What kind of wireless protocol is in use? Through what sort of means would you connect to it?
