I was wondering why my Chromecast was suddenly untrusted. An update seems to have knocked off older Chromecast devices globally. People are factory-resetting them before they know what to do, making the potential fixes even harder.

Factory reset isn't the end of the world, I did it to my gen2 Chromecast when the outage first happened and managed to get it connected again by rolling my phone's date back and finishing the setup.

This article was super helpful and helped temporarily restore casting functionality from my phone. https://mensfeld.pl/2025/03/bringing-your-chromecast-back/
