While you CAN apparently sideload apps on Amazon's new Fire TV Stick 4K Select with Vega OS, it's a cumbersome process that's probably not worth doing... especially since the experience is buggy and the hardware is underpowered. #AmazonFireTVStick4KSelect #VegaOS #Sideloading #FireTV https://www.aftvnews.com/sideloading-is-truly-dead-on-the-fire-tv-stick-4k-select-with-vega-os/

EDIT: Looks like the source code does exist for hardware update releases: https://mstdn.social/@msw/115339926795894337

I'm sorry, what?! I did some searching on their dev site and couldn't find any references to license or source code repository for it. If this is true, I hope the lawsuit comes swift.

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

Amazon's Vega OS launch trick: cloud-streamed apps

An Amazon job listing suggests that the company will release the first Fire TV devices powered by Vega OS (instead of Android) this year, although there are also clues suggesting Amazon's not done with Android yet. https://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-inadvertently-confirms-vega-os-is-coming-to-fire-tv-in-2025/ #VegaOS #Amazon #AmazonFireTV
