If you’re getting “Untrusted device” on your Chromecast today, you’re not alone. It looks like an expired cert.

    They were discontinued because they lost a patent case. This one I won’t blame on Google… cept maybe for their legal team not flagging it for patent infringement.

      that’s good to know at least, I always thought it was because they wanted to push more smart speakers

        Just looked it up. It was with Sonos. It was also when they removed the ability to stream to multiple devices at once (I think that changed , but got rid of a lot of my chrome speakers due to the decline in recognition.)

          Patents have gone too far. I just want to stream Spotify to my home speakers; I shouldn’t need proprietary bullshit to do that
