>>61565342
Your father. Which was a mistake.

>>61565379

But, anon, firmware is software.

>>61565529
if firmware were software why do we call it firmware

>>61565537
Because it is firmly embedded into the hardware.
Serious guess would be that unlike other software, it's not meant to be used or configured by the user, only the device.

>>61565342
hardware, this isn't even a difficult question we have historical records on the matter

>>61567403
how do we have historical records when internet didn't exist back then

checkmate, software had to have came first otherwise we couldn't have documented that software came first

>>61567403
Actually.. The ideas for the logic (which the hardware was later designed to execute) must have come first. So therefore the software must have come first.

>>61567478
But those ideas were executed by a brain. So clearly hardware is the correct answer.

software because it existed as a theorems n shit

>Austim: The Post

There/s something document papers and eyes you jackass

>>61565342
By definition anything can be hardware or software. So, what do you want OP?

>>61567547
But DNA made the brain grow the way it is, those strings of proteins and acids are software. SOFTWARE CAME FIRST

Hardware, dumbass. Software is a direct result of attempting to communicate with the hardware, so obviously you would need hardware to communicate with.

Also, if you were wondering, the egg also came before the chicken, if you believe in evolution. This is because evolution utilizes natural deviation, which means what we consider to be "the chicken" was first born a biological deviation from another animal, and thus, born first from the egg. If you believe in theism, then the chicken came first because it was put here.

>>61568083
Ok. Then what came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?

>>61568083
Born from an egg of a different species. So the chicken came first then.

>>61565683
if its so firmly embedded then how come we can update it so easily?

unironically: software
