And? Do they plan to put all the software open source so that the millions of hardware they sold would not go to waste in some years? We should force them to by law.

As long as they don't completely nix the support à la Spotify Car Thing I'm fine with it

Eh as long as the protocol stays the same who cares? Everything has it built in nowadays, and even if it doesn't, I bet China won't stop making Chromecast dongles

Is there anything interesting you can do with a Chromecast dongle by jailbreaking it, if you can get one for cheap?

Let's hope this doesn't only support FAT32 so we can actually add movies to it
