9·1 year agoI use fx_cast extension, it’s been working great for years. Although it needs the “bridge” to be installed, which is some minimal headless chromium thing.
It’s not a seemless experience, as it has a domain whitelist enabled by default, so you need to mess with it in the extension settings first, but once it’s been set up, it’s fine.
Sometimes it can mix up old/expired sessions, so the website would say you’re casting but you’re not. You can just press the “active” cast button and disconnect, then reconnect again.
Some other times (rarely) it fails to mock the casting feature and you won’t see the cast button or it would be disabled. Refreshing the page helps. If not, double check your whitelist.

2·2 years agoHaha, yeah… I ended up finding a cheap used OnePlus 5T in good shape and swapped the screens. There is Android 14 with LineageOS and other custom roms available, so I can keep the phone “up-to-date” and running for a while.
I still keep an eye on the phone market and more or less following the Asus drama with GamersNexus and the threads on XDA.
I haven’t upgraded to Android 14 yet. It’s painful to do backups and restores with 128GB storage and USB 2.0 but I will get there soon.
Thank you everyone and thank you for the links! Based on all info, I decided to wait for Asus’s statement until the end of April. I hope my current phone will survive until then. In case of no good news, I will try to find a OnePlus Nord CE2 somewhere, or may go with a good used one. If that doesn’t work out either, then maybe an Xperia. Or Nothing 2. Or Pixel… We’ll see.
I never ordered a Framework before but I’m planning to do this year. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be? Last time I visited their site it was written that you pay a reserve price at the time of order, then they charge your card later with the remainig price before they ship it.
