![]() ![]() The article author believed such an update could occur when the device is asleep do you as well? The device has no power-off function, only sleep, and there is no way practical way to know if it is updating at any particular time when the tv is off, right? So if the author was right then there is *no way* to safely EVER unplug or otherwise remove power from a AFTV stick!! Re "There is a slight risk one will remove power during a firmware update and brick the device.": thanks for your intelligent comments about this article. Devices like this are designed to be left plugged into power for the most part.The amount of power they use is quite minimal when quiescent, so unless one is using off-grid power where every milliwatt counts, like relying exclusively on solar, it's not worth the bother to unplug them. The more frequently power is removed, the more chance of this happening. There is a slight risk one will remove power during a firmware update and brick the device. □ Why you should never power a Fire TV Stick from your TV’s USB port For what? They already make a tablet with a HD screen, humongous battery life, a headphone jack, and is capable of utilizing all of their products. Amazon also has a lot of users on prime video and kindle services, both of which don't need lots of horsepower.If they made a high-end tablet, they'd have to increase the price, compete against Samsung, Google, and apple. Nobody makes a trustworthy low-cost tablet, except US-based Amazon with a promise to support the device for 4+ years. Period! The issue is the niche and use case. I don't invest in the Fire 7s because they suck. I will buy the new tablet only because I collect them. Quit being a tight-ass and give the people something of quality and not an upgrade in measley specs. It is not like he is taking that money with him when he dies. With all the money Bezos makes, one would think he would invest some money and make a grade A+ tablet. □ Everything there is to know about the HDMI IN port on the Fire TV Cube 3 Lenovo is about the only company that seems to be making higher-end Android devices. Android is a fantastic operating system for simple content consumption, but there aren't a lot of users using Android tablets for creation. But I don't think they were wildly successful since they abandoned that segment after 2014 and seemed to shift focus to the "budget" tablet market.Overall, there really doesn't seem to be a massive demand for top-of-the-line Android (or Android-adjacent) tablets. Well-built devices with good battery life, lots of power and memory (for their time) and absolutely fantastic screens. Period! They tried competing in the "premium" segment with the HDX 7 and 8.9. ![]() ![]()
