    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.

        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.

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