Fuck my prior preparation day with the Chromecast with Google TV before the hotel checking…
I don’t travel too often so my Chromecast needed some tweaking (AKA updating system and apps etc), I like to take it as a travel companion and found out this shitty frame around the TV.
It is the first time it happened to me, I can see this being annoying for frequent travelers.
The newer Chromecasts work fine since you can just log in using the remote.
For older Chromecasts, you can set up a wifi hotspot on your phone. At least on my Samsung Galaxy S22, you can share any wifi network that way. It’s also a good way to bypass restrictions that only allow one device to connect to the wifi network, as they’ll only see your phone on the network.
