- lrem 7y agoThey stopped selling it, once the stockpile run dry and the demand didn't warrant making another batch. Which was when I found a shop with them in stock and bought three. I believe they'll stay supported for a while. Disclaimer: I work at Google, but don't have insider knowledge on this.
- StudentStuff 7y agoWhen will Google stop updating Chromecast Audio? As we've seen with recent Chromebook mass-end of supporting, Google is happy to leave devices bought 18+ months ago in a vulnerable, insecure state even when it'd be easy to keep life support on (like delivering a secure browser to these perfectly fine laptops, or providing minimal security patches to embedded devices). It seems like Google really can't handle long term support of anything that isn't wildly successful (200+ million users), and even for those things that hit said benchmark, long term support is bumpy, inconsistent and unpredictable.
- Insanity 7y agoThe chromecast audio was a pretty cool device! Kind of a shame that they killed it off. I'm kind of being wary of google in general, they have a tendency to kill things I like :P
