Amazon's new $70 Fire TV is tiny and 4K-ready

Dolby Atmos, 4K HDR, and only $70. This is why the Apple TV 4K disappoints me so much. It would be a premium device at $99 at this point, and it still doesn't support mode switching or modern audio!

I used a fire stick for a while, and it was a rage-inducing piece of garbage 😐

Eww.

I had:

1) Occasional blank screen. Had to use magic key combos on remote to cycle through resolutions until it found good one

2) Occasionally, the remote completely disconnected. Had to remove & replace batteries to reset.

And sometimes, both at once 😭

I've also had the remote control issue. Annoying.
