Things that make you SAD thread.

My faithful Chromecast has given up the ghost. Froze today, restarted and Google have basically bricked them from here (they don't sell them any more).

Got an Amazon Fire being delivered tomorrow but RIP old friend, 2017-2025.

I know you got a Fire instead, but for anyone else in the same boat, it's only Google themselves that have stopped selling Chromecasts in favour of their new TV box.
There are still thousands of Chromecasts available to buy from third party sellers like Curry's etc.
