Wtf i’m only realizing this now! Wtf after 30 years!!! Aaarrgggg
Even now it took me 30 minutes to figure it out.
FIRMware is just SOFTware that’s HARD to INSTALL.
Wait until you learn about wetware.
To extend on the theme, can we start calling the codebases of platforms that have undergone enshitification “chodeware”?
That took a bit of time for me too
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?
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!
It gets old on the device since it’s never updated and eventually it starts to ferment. Fermware -> firmware.
Oof me too
