Jide wants to put its desktop-focused Android fork on your TV
Jide, the Chinese firm behind desktop-orientated Android fork Remix OS, wants to supercharge your TV. The company has launched a Kickstarter campaign for what it's calling Remix IO — a small hardware box that runs Remix OS. Plug it into your TV, and you can use it to do anything you can on Android. Play games, use apps, and with the desktop features of Remix OS you can also plug in a keyboard and mouse for tasks like browsing the web or writing emails. The cheapest Kickstarter tier gets you the Remix IO for $99, with the product expected to ship worldwide in March 2017.

When it comes to Android security, that’s only one of the appealing factors about the phone, according to Ludwig. “I think of the people who can afford £15 phones and have to buy the cheapest device available to them, and they usually buy an old Nokia or Android. An Android is what’s used when these people are fleeing a state that has persecuted them.”
