Thanks to everyone who has watched my recent UA-cam comeback.

Thanks again for your support over the years, and I look forward to helping you with your tech problems for many years to come!

Thank you, turning off apps or deleting them has saved me a lot of storage. I am glad I saw your UA-cam video. Don’t let the negative comments get to you. For some of us your video was very helpful. 😎
Hi Richard, I'm new to Amazon Firestick, I didn't really see a need for it, a friend of my told me about all content, sports, movies he can watch which got me interested. He didn't mention any of the info that you talked about in this video; it's very interesting and helpful, Thanx for sharing all of the helpful tips!
Thank you so much! Your clear, thorough communication is wonderful and I greatly appreciate it. The tech world is foreign to me, but you have made it more comfortable to maneuver in. ❤
Heck yeah, thank you. So much stuff running in the background I wasn't even aware of, and I did as you said and it sure made my fire Stick Run a lot better
I've been helping my elderly neighbor (lol, I'm 65, but she's much older) program her new firestick. I knew a lot of tips and tricks but BECAUSE OF YOU, I learned so MUCH MORE! Thank you for taking your time to film this tutorial! I always come to UA-cam for help. Heck, I reshingled my own roof 2 years ago after 7 days of watching videos. No leaks yet! (but scary as heck on a roof. I was smart and was tied securely- insert my laughter here!)
Braver than me, I'm 66, but if I were 36, you still wouldn't see me up a ladder. I get vertigo standing on a chair. Painting the hallway was a nightmare
Excellent, thanks. For interest: Getting to the settings icon, from the home screen, can be accessed faster than long pressing the home button by scrolling left instead of right (3 steps).
Thanks Rich! I bought a Firestick Lite to allow me to watch Netflix on my non-smart tv in my craft room. I don't need any extras.. just want basics... so it's nice to be able to turn off all the excess stuff. Will watch your video again when I set my firestick up this coming weekend. Awesome and straight forward video!👍✅️
Had no problems setting up my firestick today.... just took some time. All ready to craft and chill! And thanks to your video... I feel safe doing it.👍✅️
I bought a Toshiba FireTV a couple of years ago and I’ve been grousing about it ever since. It’s bee painfully sluggish and requires frequent restarts. I stumbled onto this video today. I did everything this gentleman suggested (everything I could anyway) and the sluggishness is all cleared up. I’m assuming the need for frequent restarts is too. Thank you so much!!
4:50 - I don't know about everyone else, but I just got a brand new 4K fire stick & in privacy settings 'device usage data, collect app usage data & interest based ads' were ALL preset to off when I got it. 👍
I was looking at fire stick videos and which one to get and your video was a great help and I’d definitely turn everything off but I don’t think I’ll be getting one after you said you’ve gotta leave Credit card details to open an account! I didn’t know that and don’t fancy leaving a credit card. I don’t suppose there is any way around that??? Great video and I’m sure it’s helped lots of people. Keep up the good work. Cheers from uk 🇬🇧
A lot of good information in this video! My original fire stick just died and I'm waiting on delivery of the new one I ordered. I will definitely use a lot of the recommends you provided here! Thanks!
Thank you! My movies are playing more smoothly...less buffering. I still have a little bit of it but not like it was before shuting off the junk not needed! I wasn't quite sure what I could turn off!
Excellent video. I have in the past turned off a lot of similar tracking features, but you took this to another level. Thank you from a new Subscriber!
Fastest 12 minutes ever. I could had used this a couple of days ago asi just bought a new Amazon Fire Stick. It's all good though as it's got way more memory. I did turn off all of the settings I wanted off so thank you for that. I might have to look at my old one and see if it's salvageable by deleting apps and forming off all the extra unneeded settings.
I'm new to the steaming game and this was very helpful! I got some apps working that weren't doing so before, probably because there was so much stuff that was ON by default. Thanks!
Rick! Great video!! I'm 85 and like to watch some things from my computer, but on my TV. Is there a was to Select a different HDMI port from Firestick. I could always use my old remote, but at 85, I like to keep things as simple as possible. Thanks, again, for an easy explanation for simplifying
Thanks a lot. I thought I had everything shut off on my fire stick that I could shut off watching your video helped out a lot. Thank you very much. God bless.

Bless these guys that take time out to teach us simpletons.
