Amazon's new Fire TV Stick 4K Select runs a new operating system called Vega OS. Not all developers have ported their apps to the platform yet though, so Amazon will host Android apps in the cloud and stream them to the stick over the internet. https://www.lowpass.cc/p/amazon-vega-os-cloud-streamed-apps #Amazon #SmartTV #MediaTreamer #VegaOS #AmazonFireTVStick4KSelect

I wonder how many signatures we could get for an EU initiative that would require manufacturers to sell same quality "dumb" counterparts to their regular "smart" offerings of appliances and electronics, at the same or lower price.
Dumb TVs, washing machines, coffee makers, toothbrushes, etc. that would not require apps, wifi, bluetooth, phoning home, ads, etc.
Remove anything extra that is not required for the core use case of the product.
