Thinking about buying a nexdock, when and if they ever release ChromeOS for Android.

If I bought one now, would my pixel 8p be totally useless

Planned obsolescence is an extension of anti right to repair.

If a company doesn't want to release software for an 5 year old phone, then I should be allowed to flash a ROM on it and get more life out of it.

Polar bears don't find food as readily as Grizzly bears. If a Grizzly hesitates on a salmon, it'll find another salmon.

If a Polar hesitates on a penguin, it could starve.

ITT: People who don't know as much as me.

All they killed was the branding. The Chromecast with Google TV was such a far cry from an OG Chromecast that it was stupid for them to have the same name.

OG Chromecast could only cast and did not have a remote. The CCwGT did still support casting, but also had a remote and a real UI.

The TV streamer is just the CCwGT in a fancy shell with probably a more powerful processor. I'll bet money that it still supports casting, and can only do pretty much exactly what the CCwGT could do.

You can install LineageOS on one of the models of Chromecast for Android TV.
