I don't think Facebook can survive ten more years without deep changes. Facebook needs your data to survive but they don't bring much value to their users anymore, some people are leaving but many are just getting passive and don't post anymore. This is probably the end of an era and Facebook recent missteps are probably the nail in the coffin.

What a sad news. I was expecting more servers in EU in a near future and maybe an option to select the location of our primary DC (US or EU). I've been a happy customer since 2013 and for the first time since I joined I'll be considering other options.

We had to redesign a new kind of module called a renderer that has some weird capabilities and of course the Chromecast being kind of undocumented didn't help.

It's been years that this option is available on Android. Look for the lock icon in the overlay.

Absolutely. You can play any Twitch stream from VLC and cast it on your TV.

Auto updates are never enabled right after a release in case of critial regression. We usually wait for a week before starting the rollout.
