The feature will be available to all users on the web version of Drive, but it only works on newly uploaded videos.

Google TV Streamer vs Chromecast with Google TV: Should you upgrade?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-02 03:31:12

The Chromecast with Google TV was a major evolution for Google’s media streamer. While it retained much of the design language of the original Chromecast series, the new device had remote support and the full power of the Android TV-based Google TV platform. Years later, Google is ditching the Chromecast brand altogether with the new Google TV Streamer. Is it worth upgrading, or is the Chromecast still worth sticking with or finding one on sale before it’s retired in the Google graveyard? Let’s

It is currently testing a new interface with separate tabs for saves and collections. The new interface is evidently a work in progress and might change before it becomes a more permanent feature.

How to Build a Functional Smart Home When You’ll Never Own a House Yourself

Ah, yes, the American dream. A house with a white picket fence, a dog, and as many products as you can pile into a pickup truck that you paid for in cash, which I’m told is a type of green paper you can exchange for goods and services.
