The new Fire TV Stick 4K will be a little easier to set up than Amazon's previous 4K streaming sticks since it no longer requires a power adapter. You can power the device directly from your TV's USB port, like the updated entry-level Fire TV Stick Amazon launched earlier this year. The Fire TV Stick 4K, available starting today for $59.99, runs on Amazon's refreshed TV OS and includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Bluetooth Low Energy.

The Wing Hummingbird 7000W-B delivery drone weighs less than 15 pounds. It has 16 propellers - four for horizontal movement and 12 for vertical - a top speed of 60 miles per hour, a carrying capacity of up to 2.7 pounds, and a delivery radius of about six miles. It is authorized by the FAA for beyond-line-of-sight piloting. As a feat of engineering, it is impressive.

DoorDash is launching new ways to use the local delivery platform, including text message ordering, drone deliveries, and retail returns. The new message ordering feature builds on capabilities that the Ask DoorDash AI chatbot introduced to the DoorDash app in June, allowing you to get recommendations and offload your browsing while skipping the app entirely.

"Ordering is now as easy as sending a text," DoorDash said in its press release. "Whether you're requesting a specific dish, asking for a local recommendation based on your mood, or telling DoorDash to 'order my usual protein bowl to the office,' it searches local spots, suggests a car …
