Tech Bytes: Amazon Firesticks get the boot from Netflix
In today’s Tech Bytes: If you own one of the oldest models of the Amazon Fire Stick, you’ll need to find a new way to watch Netflix. The streaming service is ending support for certain first-generation Fire TV devices, which were introduced more than a decade ago. Customers have until next week to upgrade their devices or lose access.
There are plenty of tech deals this Memorial Day, including $50 off the newest iPad at Amazon and Walmart. You can also save $30 on a JBL Clip 5 Bluetooth speaker at Amazon and Best Buy, and the Sonos Roam 2 is $45 off on Amazon.
Finally, a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie: Researchers report that, during controlled tests, an OpenAI-created model refused to shut down—even when explicitly instructed to do so. OpenAI has not commented on the findings.
