  • You can use a USB hub dongle which passes through power via USB C with a Google TV (4K) device. That’s what I do for mine to connect it to the rest of my GbE VLAN via wired ethernet connection and avoid Wi-Fi packet drops when streaming or casting 4K HDR content. A dongle is also handy to connect any USB web cam so I can use the TV for large family video calls with the grandparents in the living room, via Android apps like Google Meet or Zoom.

    Here is the one I use that also has a combo headphone jack with GbE Ethernet and passthrough charging, so also nice for Moonlight gaming on modern android 120Hz HDR tablets where I don’t want to use low bitrate HFP Bluetooth for discord calls while also listening to game audio and music. Note, when used with the Google TV, I don’t use the USB Hub’s HDMI, opting for the Google TV’s international cord to maintain Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functionality.

  • I’d like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.

    The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I’d just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:
