Streaming and TV

Chromecast, HDMI sticks, smart TVs and video apps that can lose patches, codecs or cloud services.

Google Chromecast 2015 / 2nd generation

This older Chromecast is still common. The main risk is app drift, unstable 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and firmware that receives less attention than recent models.

Samsung Smart TV 2017 generation

A TV can remain excellent as a display but weak as an app platform. The main risk is video apps changing their requirements.
