9to5Google can now report that what replaces the Chromecast with Google TV 4K is the “Google TV Streamer.”

    Nah, fuck Google TV. The current one hasn’t received an update since Android 12 from 3 years ago, it’s slow as balls and lags out playing videos, and is completely filled with ads. It actively tries to prevent you from remapping buttons and home screen if you actually want to use something else besides Youtube and Netflix. They still sell this thing at full price, even though they clearly abandoned it years ago.

    I wish there was more development on Kodi, because the Android TV ecosystem is awful.
