Fire OS : Amazon devrait bientôt abandonner Android pour un nouveau système basé sur Linux http://dlvr.it/TKQLv5 #Amazon #FireOS
#FireOS
By year's end Amazon could release its first smart TV powered by the Linux-based Vega OS already used for some Echo devices rather than the Android-based Fire OS that it's used up until now. Major apps should be supported, but apps from smaller devs could be left behind. https://www.lowpass.cc/p/amazon-vega-os-2025-release-kepler-sdk #FireTV #Amazon #Vega #FireOS
From Brad Linder at Liliputing:
The Amazon Appstore allows you to download and install apps on Amazon Fire tablets and Fire TV devices. But the Appstore actually predates the Amazon Fire ecosystem. Amazon first launched the Appstore in March, 2011 as an app that could be installed on Android phones and tablets. The first Amazon Fire-branded tablet didn’t launch until half a year later. Fourteen years later Amazon has announced that it’s discontinuing the Appstore for Android.
I learned two things here. Firstly, while I know that Amazon’s Fire OS is based on Android and I have run F-Droid (a free and open source Android app store) on Fire devices, it had never occurred to me that Amazon promoted its Appstore on regular Android devices. Note that I run GrapheneOS on my phone with no Google Play Services, so I am not up to date on the proprietary app stores. Secondly, I was even more surprised to learn that the Amazon Appstore pre-dates the first Fire OS device, meaning it was originally released for main-line Android devices. Go figure. I have some limited experience with the Amazon Appstore from my old 2013 Kindle Fire HDX (see my one and only Amazon Appstore visual novel review) and BlackBerry Classic, both of which ran Android-derived operating systems and shipped Amazon Appstore as their default app stores.

Based on the number of pageviews this 2023 article has gotten this week, I have a pretty good guess for what present a lot of folks unpacked this week... only to experience moderate annoyance that Amazon tablets don't have the Google Play Store pre-installed. https://buff.ly/4fBDWWr #AmazonFireMax11 #GooglePlayStore #FireOS #FireTablet

NOWA ŚWIETNA APKA #OPENSOURCE!
LocalSend to darmowa, multiplatformowa alternatywa dla #AirDrop. Pozwala na szybkie udostępnienie innym osobom w tej samej sieci LAN plików, w tym zdjęć czy filmów w pełnej jakości. Całość działa na zasadzie Peer-to-Peer, co oznacza, że dane nie opuszczają naszej sieci – wszystko odbywa się lokalnie. Wystarczy, że nadawca i odbiorca otworzą aplikację, a urządzenia wzajemnie się wykryją — wtedy nadawca wybiera odbiorcę i gotowe.
Co ciekawe, nasz odbiorca nie potrzebuje tej aplikacji, aby otrzymać plik — mamy możliwość wygenerowania linku, który pozwala na pobranie danych.
Zadbano także o kwestie bezpieczeństwa — możemy sobie ustawić kod, który będzie wymagany do odbioru lub wysłania pliku.
Jedyną wadą jest ograniczenie urządzeń do tych w tej samej sieci — nie jesteśmy w stanie udostępniać plików do urządzeń obok siebie bez połączenia z siecią LAN tak jak w przypadku prawdziwego AirDropa.
Aplikacja jest dostępna na wszystkie popularne systemy operacyjne: #Windows, #macOS, #Linux, #Android, #iOS, a nawet #FireOS.
Polecam!
Amazon Fire HD 8 (2024) tablets bring memory and camera updates (and AI features)
Amazon’s newest Fire HD 8 tablet for 2024 is… a lot like the company’s 2022 model of this budget tablet. It’s the same size and shape, has the same display, and has the same processor. But the good news is that it also has the same low price tag… and does bring a couple of significant updates.
The new Amazon Fire HD 8 has 50% more RAM than its predecessor, and a slightly better rear […]

#Amazon bricks long-standing #FireTV apps with latest update
It’s not hard to see why people might want to avoid #FireOS #homescreen nor why Amazon would want to force users to see it. Like many #TV vendors, Amazon is trying to drive long-term #revenue from #TV sales by including #ads is TVs' OS, allowing Amazon to sell #ad space and insight around ad engagement. Update has made apps unable to use #Android Debug Bridge (#ADB) connections or commands.

Amazon's Fire TV devices currently run an Android-based operating system called Fire OS, but it looks like Amazon plans to transition to a new OS (probably the Vega OS we've been hearing about). Fire tablets will likely remain unaffected (for now). https://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-job-listing-confirms-that-fire-tv-is-dropping-android-based-fire-os/ #FireOS #VegaOS #Amazon #AmazonFireTV

Amazon näyttää kyllästyneen Googlen kanssa vääntöön Androidin käytöstä - ja alkaa kehittämään omaa, Linuxiin pohjautuvaa web-käyttöjärjestelmäänsä
Amazon on maailmalla yllättävänkin iso laitevalmistaja, sillä etenkin sen Fire-tabletit ja Fire-älytelevisiot ovat todella suosittuja niissä maissa, joissa laitteita myydään.
