Fire stick per vedere contenuti piratati. Ed Amazon corre ai ripari

Le #FireStick di Amazon tra i dispositivi maggiormente utilizzati per piratare contenuti.
Vi gira Android e possono essere installati APK per vedere le partite sullo schermo della TV.
#Amazon risponde: verrà disabilitato ADB sulla rete locale, aggiunti banner di sensibilizzazione e si passerà a Vega OS, sviluppato appositamente, sempre #linux-based ma senza possibilità di installare APK.

Mission USB Power Cable for Amazon Fire TV (Eliminates the Need for AC Adapter) : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
amazon.co.uk/Mission-Power-Ama <- This is definitely snake oil. Basically it has a battery in it to make up for the lack of power from the tvs usb port. It will run out of battery while your watching IT #amazon #firestick

Maybe Linux has a solution for this but one of the most annoying things I have right now in Windows is when I flip one monitor to my Firestick and then I can't get windows from the left monitor over to the right.

It's a standard window I can (Win-Left) or (Win-Right) to use snap to get it over to viewing but right now I can't get my launchy window which doesn't even have a taskbar icon. it's just stuck ther euntil i can flip out of my Firestick

This is weird. 🤔

I just finished watching Episode 5 of Season 3 of #Reacher on #PrimeVideo &, when it was over, it immediately switched to Episode 1 of Season 1 of #AppleTV's show #Severance.

I don't subscribe to Apple TV & have no idea how or why this happened

I watched the episode for a bit before looking up info about the show & deciding that I wasn't interested in watching any more of it and when I switched back to my Prime Video home screen, there was absolutely no evidence that it was ever shown to or seen by me.

However, it did show up in my #Amazon #Firestick home screen as show to continue watching. So, I may take a look at it again later.

There's no way to select a different episode to watch, so this just may be a teaser to get me to subscribe to Apple TV ro watch more of the show.

Like I said, "weird!" 🤷

#ACC #CollegeFootball

#Cal is favored by over 5 to 1 by #ESPN to beat #Stanford in the #BigGame today & I can't believe that the game isn't being aired on any local #TV channel & can only be seeing on the #ACCChannel that can only be seen by streaming it on #Fubo with a subscription fee as high as $80/month.🤦

I know that Fubo is offering a #FreeTrial that could enable me to watch the fame for free but I refuse to signup for any "free trials" to do something like that.

Besides, I really hate watching anything on my tiny laptop & I still haven't figured out how to connect it to my #BigScreenTV via #HDMI. 🤷

Just discovered that Fubo is available as an app on #Amazon #Firestick & I've got one on my big screen TV but I still won't sign up for it just to watch the game.

Go Bears!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

OK I have a question for folks that use the #FireStick
I got a text from a friend who isn't tech savy asking if I've ever seen anything like this. He'll be watching something YouTube on his TV via the Firestick and this woman will show up on his screen for 5 minutes sitting knitting locking everything up then she's gone.
Ideas? Anyone know what's going on?

I've got two Amazon #FireStick units and a gen 1 #Chromecast dongle in a drawer. They are three SoC devices I'd love to repurpose but the manufacturers have locked them up so when they get replaced by newer models with extra features they become landfill!

So frustrating, I'd love to make one a simple command line computer so my 4 year old could type stories on an immutable system. I'd host my #GeminiProtocol capsule on another and free up the Raspberry Pi for other projects. Even then I'd still have one free for tinkering with....

#permacomputing needs manufacturers to open systems at the end of life to encourage communities to #repurpose and #reuse them because guess what they'll make loyal customers in a thriving community that way.

We also need this to be simple enough for everyone to be able to reuse their tech.
