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.

Hardware never changes

We'll see what my soldering iron, multimeter, logic analyzer, and oscilloscope have to say about that.

Theseus' firmware. After how many changes does a board became a new component.
