On: Use Unix Pipes to Improve Chromecast Playback

[jeffbee]

What does the author mean about the "final update"? Is the original Chromecast really not getting any new software?

[adrianmonk → jeffbee]

Perhaps they are just using final to mean latest?

Most often, final means not only that something is currently the last item in a sequence but also that there will not be any more items in the sequence in the future. However, sometimes people use (misuse?) it to mean merely the last time in the sequence for now.

It's confusing because it says "latest and final".

[dmix → jeffbee]

The author links to bug reports for Chromecast 1, the current generation of Chromecast is 3.

[judge2020 → jeffbee]

The generation 1 chromecast is pretty old and underpowered (can't run YouTube TV DRM fast enough apparently) so I wouldn't be surprised, however I can't find anything about it no longer receiving uodates.
