What can I do with a rooted Chromecast?? - Google Chromecast

So, I got a Chromecast as a gift, so I looked up the serial and it was 4206, so I thought, aight gonna root this thing.
Bought all the stuff to root it with HubCap and it worked fine, now it runs the EurekaRom, but.. what can I do now with this thing?
I mean, does this thing have any other purpose than streaming? Thought it would be more like a FireTV Stick because Amazon compares the FireTV Stick's hardware with the CC on the product page but it seems like they compare apples and pears because the CC has a whole other purpose than the FireTV Stick.. Dafuq
I thought that the CC is also a little Android device that could possibly run Kodi standalone, I mean I got an HTPC with OpenELEC, so I don't need it but I thought you can have fun with this thing.. Probably selling this piece of crap and getting an RPi2 from the money.

Why would you root it if you don't have any idea what you could do with it after ?

If possible I'd even root my damn toaster, because root is love, root is life, literally.

This hearkens back to old days, when I would mess with my parent's PCs... the only reason I'm not afraid of adb is because I grew up with MS-DOS and didn't realize it was a nightmare to do anything.
My 8 year old Compaq evo looks newer than that.

My grandfather still uses my 1998 Compaq Presario laptop with Windows 98 Second Edition so he can type things up and print out on an old HP printer but thankfully, the ink is still available since it's being used in numerous printers still.

[off topic] happy birthday y'all

Happy Birthday HTC G1!
4 years ago today, you changed the world, you were different, new, strange and unknown, now though, your descendants see 1.3 million activations daily, you made others be careful, others arrogant. You made the PC sit up and beg, and brought the laptop to the poor.
We love you for everything you've done G1, and some of us still have one of you, you'll always be precious to us that do.

Advice on this wireless charger

will this damage my device? Will it charge correctly and completely?

thanks for any input..
You should check out the wireless charging mod thread in the original Android development section, it's much cheaper and doesn't seem very difficult to do. Also from the reports you know it's safe if you do it correctly.

It can charge any usb-chargeable, according my experience.

That actually isn't an option for me. On my original note the usb port started getting a little used and worn. So I'd rather not deal with plugs. You know those mac book mag chargers? I'd love to get one of those for phones. This is the closest were going to get Atm. I'd love to get a 2 amp charger for the note2 using induction. Hopefully the official kit will come out soon from Samsung.

According to the picture it connects to two metal contacts we don't have. So I don't think it will work.
If you have an international version, go right ahead and buy it.

Don't they (Netflix) do any kind of capacity planning? Weren't their servers tested under load? Geez!
Kids want to watch Christmas movies today because it's raining in So Cal, and they can't go out.
I'm glad I have some DVDs lying around.

They blame Amazon AWS: http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/24/netflix-outage/
Mod edit: No
Carry on people.
Interesting how the faulty Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) component of AWS in Ashburn, Virginia only affected Netflix, and not Netflix's major rival Amazon Instant Video service (formerly known as Video On Demand) also hosted on AWS in VA, huh?
Hmm...
And was any other Amazon.com service adversely affected?
Hmm...
The end of the world...... for Netflix?

Do you have adaway or some sort of ad blocker? You should add to white list.

No I don't think so. I fixed it I can reply now. Another issue I'm having is I can't download any ROMS or anything from Tapatalk pro. I get an error saying that this site can't be reached. I'm connected to the internet. I have to go to xda desktop mode before I can download any ROMS/Kernels. This is the first international device that I have ever owned, it seems different from my other devices, like the Nexus 6 and Note 4. Maybe there is some kinda permissions that I need to tick in my stock browser and chrome? I've tried clearing the cache and data in both and nothing seems to help..Thank you for the reply!!
