1. Simpler way: super glue (the thin kind)

   Worked on mine. 😉

   1. Yes, it is a valid alternative. I have Gorilla super glue and it is so viscose, it would not seep all the way down. I had to go with the drill method.

2. Or just don’t buy Alexa… 🙂 That’s ‘my’ solution.

4. What do you suppose the over/under is for, “how long before Amazon redesigns the Fire Stick remote to move the microphone to another, less-well-known spot”?

   Or alternatively, “how long before Amazon includes a microphone in the Fire Stick itself, instead of just the remote”?

   At some point, the fact it’s so easily found and defeated becomes a liability categorized as a design flaw that needs fixing.

   1. Don’t underestimate a guy with a spudger and a soldering iron.

      As to the location of the microphone moving from the remote to the stick.

      It’s a bit of a problem of them getting a good enough read of you voice now with an unobstructed microphone.

      Imagine the sound quality from one buried behind your loud TV.

      1. Ratus beat me. And still, if there is a transducer, it can be defeated. And they can only bury it so deep before it becomes useless.

   Hey Miguel, do you want a spare microphone?

   It took longer to spudge it open, then to remove tiny SMD microphone.

   And yes, the remote works.
