The Verge - Google's new Chromecast HDMI stick is a lot of things: it's a simple new way to bring internet video to your living room after the company stumbled with Google TV, it's a new platform for content creators like Netflix, and it's an interesting extension of Chrome as a platform beyond the browser itself. That's a lot of responsibility for a $35 dongle.
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.
