Wtf i’m only realizing this now! Wtf after 30 years!!! Aaarrgggg

[-] HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu 10 points 2 years ago

Even now it took me 30 minutes to figure it out.

[-] juliorapido@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

We still love you!

[-] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 years ago

Is this actually the reason it's called this? Like dead serious.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] backhdlp 3 points 2 years ago

then where else does firmware come from?

[-] Cmot_Dibbler@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

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!

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 5 points 2 years ago

It gets old on the device since it's never updated and eventually it starts to ferment. Fermware -> firmware.

[-] Micromot@feddit.de 19 points 2 years ago

That took a bit of time for me too

[-] voodooattack@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

How am I just hearing about this now?

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 14 points 2 years ago

NonNewtonianWare

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I love how everyone both believes this but is so upset that they didn't realize that they need confirmation

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

To extend on the theme, can we start calling the codebases of platforms that have undergone enshitification “chodeware”?

[-] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

Shitware, I’d think.

[-] Kerrangutan@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago

Wait until you learn about wetware.

[-] xpinchx@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

What's next... Underware?

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

semper ubi sub ubi

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Half-chubware

[-] DaudAfandi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Is this true?

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

FIRMware is just SOFTware that's HARD to INSTALL.
