Chromecast with Google TV update rolling out w/ December 2020 security patch – 9to5Google
Google’s latest Chromecast is one of the best streaming devices out there today, and in the Android TV world it’s also one of the better supported. Today, another update is rolling out to Chromecast with Google TV, and it brings the December 2020 security patch with it.
Available now for the Chromecast with Google TV, update version QTS2.200918.033 is a 78.20MB update. As usual with Chromecast updates, Google hasn’t released any official changelog to detail what’s new. Thankfully, there are a few things we can immediately gather.
First and foremost, this update brings the Chromecast with Google TV up to the December 2020 security patch, up from the previous September patch. It’s not all that uncommon for Android TV devices to be behind on these patches, and even being about three patches behind still puts the new Chromecast in a better spot than most other devices on the platform.
Along with that, some users have noticed, anecdotally, that the Chromecast with Google TV seems to be working better on 4k60 with some TVs following this December update. The new Chromecast has always supported 4k60, but some TVs didn’t play perfectly well with the functionality, either not recognizing the Chromecast could support it or requiring some other settings tweaks to get everything working correctly. If you were facing those issues, this update might help out.
Finally, there’s also another Chromecast remote update packed in with this update. After you install the main system update, another update for the remote will be available in Settings.

The personal information of some Nothing customers has hit the web.
As discovered by Android Authority, a file on a text file-sharing website contains a bunch of Nothing Community profiles. While some of the data is here public information, like usernames, comments and join dates, private information, namely emails, are also visible.
Digging into it further, Android Authority says it couldn’t find any evidence of passwords being leaked. It also notes that the data appears to be from 2022 and affects roughly 2,250 Nothing Community profiles, including some for community managers.
Of course, despite Android Authority‘s investigation, there’s always the chance that other info could have been leaked. Therefore, you might want to keep an eye on your info for any strange activity on top of changing your password.
Android Authority says it’s still awaiting comment from Nothing.

Apple has probably stopped production of its poorly-received FineWoven cases for the iPhone, but a new report from the same herald of its death says there is one last set of seasonal colorways coming.
Now according to leaker Kosutami, who first reported the cancellation, there could still be one more push for the FineWoven cases.
Pressed on the rumor, Kosutami emphasizes later in the same thread that if this is correct, it will be for only one more season. It’s now almost eight months since the launch of the iPhone 15 range, so it’s unlikely that there is to be a new mid-cycle color of the iPhone, but perhaps there can yet be new colors for the FineWoven cases.
Consequently, this rumor can at best be said to be possible, especially if Apple had already committed resources to the new colors. However, since FineWoven has proven to be startlingly poor at stain resistance or even just durability, it’s more believable that it is gone for good than it is that FineWoven will get a last hoorah.
