Get a pi, people. There are very few reasons you would want Chromecast.
Size and portability.? Ease of use?
Very few reasons for people with technical ability, which the Fediverse overrepresents. It's easy to get the idea that anyone can pick up something like a Pi and install and configure an OS image on it. It seems simple to us, but 95% of people will not/cannot do this. They have better things to do than learn IT skills.
Curious, how does a pi replace Chromecast functionality?
