Devices like the Roku Streaming Stick and Fire TV Stick are so great because they can stream all the same content that larger devices like set-top boxes can stream, but they’re far more compact. In fact, they don’t take up any space because they plug right into an open HDMI port on the back of your TV. The only annoying part is the power cable that you still need to plug into a wall outlet, but there’s a simple accessory that completely eliminates the need for the wall adapter. It’s called the UGREEN Micro USB Power Cable, and it’s on sale right now on Amazon for only $4.99. This tiny cable connects your streaming device directly to the USB port on the back of your TV for power, and it really should come in the box with every media streaming stick.
