All the firesticks up until now randomly crap out after 3-6 months. It's called the "reboot loop", there's no "official" fix other than to "make sure you use the original usb cable plugged into AC", and unplug it and replug it in. Just a downer, for a year I always had a spare new one in a box so that movie night wasn't ruined.

I do prefer the firestick remote over the chromecast, google tries to oversimplify it which is annoying when entering text.
