FWIW you can fix the aspect ratio issue on the firestick using ADB to force the device to display in a 4:3 resolution (except when using streaming apps that force 16:9)

There are things like torrentio now which lend BitTorrent piracy a more integrated UX, and that has definitely extended the lifespan of its usefulness to me. Torrents rarely max out my line speed these days, mostly because I have 1000X the bandwidth compared to when I first started torrenting 20 odd years ago.

I don’t think you have to forgive her, but you could move past it, which is sorta different and is an option that preserves your relationship.
Like, acknowledging that she is this way and it’s unlikely to change, taking steps to protect yourself from that kind of behaviour, but deciding to love her anyway.
