Thank you! I feel gaslit even talking about this! Mention this online, and you will get a torrent of people telling you that you must be doing something wrong, and even if it is true Google probably has a good reason that is just beyond our understanding. I just talked about my experience with Chromecast here a few hours ago in another thread. [1] The Google product forums are way worse. It is not reasonable that I should have to do packet injection to not let my Chromecast connect to Google's DNS servers, especially if I just want to watch locally streamed videos. Google has slowly been carving features off of the Chromecast for the last four years. I only use it for local video content, so why must I update when it has burned me in the past? What really kills me is how we wouldn't let Microsoft or Facebook pull this crap. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19171115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19171115
