Here we go and its the "planned obsolescence" thats at play here for older Amazon fire TV sticks.

  • Amazon faces a class-action lawsuit in California alleging it engaged in “software tethering” by ending support for older Fire TV sticks without clearly disclosing devices would lose updates.
  • The plaintiff claims Amazon deliberately used planned obsolescence, allowing older Fire TV devices to degrade until customers were forced to purchase newer models.
  • Amazon has refreshed some Fire TV devices with a new Linux-based Vega OS that prevents sideloading of apps, forcing users to download exclusively from Amazon’s app store.
