Is this actually the reason it’s called this? Like dead serious.
If it’s fake, it’s a decades old prank. I heard it used seriously pre-millennium.
It fits extremely well. Software changes regularly. Hardware never changes, while firmware is mostly fixed, but can change periodically.
then where else does firmware come from?
It gets old on the device since it’s never updated and eventually it starts to ferment. Fermware -> firmware.
Well when a software and a hardware love each other very much…uh you see the SATA cable goes in the… and then there’s pin hole connectors of course… auxiliary input… And then 2 days later the ups man brings you new firmware.
Okay bud? Alright goodnight.
Wow i never learned this in Christian school!
That took a bit of time for me too
How am I just hearing about this now?
I love how everyone both believes this but is so upset that they didn’t realize that they need confirmation
What’s next… Underware?
Half-chubware
Is this true?
I want to believe…
Also halfway between a bit and a byte is a nibble.
The fact that Java compiles into Jars always makes me smile.
FIRMware is just SOFTware that’s HARD to INSTALL.
To extend on the theme, can we start calling the codebases of platforms that have undergone enshitification “chodeware”?
:O
Bro
Wtf i’m only realizing this now! Wtf after 30 years!!! Aaarrgggg
