What about the ONN device from Walmart? Seems to be the same or very similar to the new Google at half the price? Wouldn't it be better for your readers to publish a comparison of those two rather than new google vs. old google which has been discontinued?

Ok will someone please tell me, because reviewers won't, can this streamer make Google home work when the Internet service goes down or not??? The max hub says 'please try connecting to the wifi' every time the Internet goes out....

Without an internet connection, then I would assume the answer is "NO".
Unless a device has a recording function (and that recording is kept locally, not in the cloud), connectivity is required to stream/playback.
