Amazon Firestick new OS Vega no more sideloading apps IPTV
Probably best to hang fire if you own a Fire TV until it actually happens to older fire devices
i currently use easy fire tools to load any app from my phone . works a treat
ADB was blocked for local
to clarify this only affects ADB requests made by apps on the FireTV, it doesn't affect ADB connections made from other devices, that's still working
And I think main app that is not available to install now is remote ADB shell
Yes thats great if you are young and can still see your phone when you get a bit older and you eyesite starts to go not so good
Currently, Fire OS 8 is the latest operating system based on AOSP, and the next version—Fire OS 9—could be based on Vega OS. This new OS might be made available with the newer versions of Amazon hardware such as upcoming Fire TV devices. However, this new software experience might not be extended to already existing devices. Nevertheless, the company is likely to continue supporting Fire OS 8-powered devices until their end of life.
im same as as you buddy need glasses mindYes thats great if you are young and can still see your phone when you get a bit older and you eyesite starts to go not so good
If Amazons app store is based on Android
With new devices changing to Vega O.S How will they control the download versions of there apps

I would imagine they will just have separate playstores like AOS and ATV have.
Each device will only be able to access the playstore that correspondence to its OS.
With linux you can do pretty much do anything you want. You could in theory add playstore but obviously Google will not allow that.
Dealing with app versions will be no problem in reality. Might even give app devs even more income because you may have to buy a Amazon version of a app pretty much like Apple and Roku

Loss in sales on Amazon devices won't be much of an issue with them tbh.
Look at how much they make from Amazon online or Amazon music or prime aswel as selling for supermarkets. I don't think they'll be too concerned about loosing sales on devices plus people will still use them for official apps.
It's unlikely to effect current devices but maybe future devices

Sixth, richest company in the world with a market cap of over 1.8 trillion dollars.
Don’t think they will be worrying about Firestick sales.
Like I said it's not worth the bad press. May aswell lock them down bad press goes.

What ever bad press you mean it has not affected their market cap and share price at all last year or this year and that ultimately is all they care about.
It's when servers get caught they nearly always mention firesticks. At one time they where referring them to kodi devices when that was big.
Correct that's my understanding. You will be forced to download update

I can't see them being able to change current OS. If they decide to goto another os current system may go without updates and future devices/systems might get the new OS
Why? It's just a download. They will just not support the older firesticks I suppose.
High chance of bricking I'd imagine.
