minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink19•2 years agoIf 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.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink17•2 years agoWell 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.
