I have to hand it to google in this one very specific instance - chromecast audio still works.

When the certificates expired or something like that, there was a fix within a week.

I would never trust a new google product but they have continued to support this one for whatever reason.

    Yes, my fear at the moment thoug. Is that at some point in the future I will have a need to move or reconfigure it. I recently had a cheap little projector that I wanted to use a modern Chromecast TV with. But being a basic cheap thing that I got for fifty dollars, it only supported 720p and probably missing HDMI DRM. Chromecast TV just refused outright.

    I went and pulled a first gen Chromecast out of a drawer. Reset and tried to reconfigure it. No matter what device I tried with. Both initializing it or display output seemed to want to work.
