Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

Honestly.. I might get some pushback for this but Chromecast audio. Being able to get full home audio streaming for a fraction of the cost of a normal system with a few of those and a few old hifis. Worth it for me

My boyfriend frequently complains that Google stopped making those..

They have, but you can still find them on the second hand market. I m not looking forward to the day they stop supporting them however

I had some best buy house brand speakers that stopped working in groups when Sonos won their case. They were battery powered and sounded great! But they didn't get updated so now they're e-waste.
