Second-generation Chromecast users have been facing an outage since several days, and Google has now apologized for it. But where's the fix?

Many people using older Chromecast devices experienced a shock in recent days when their units lost the ability to cast content. The company ended the brand last year, which led folks to think that this was a planned obsolescence of some kind.

Over the weekend, 9to5Google reported that second-gen Chromecast and Chromecast Audio devices displayed an “Untrusted device” error message, preventing users from casting audio and video content onto their screens of choice.
