This, pretty much some people are used to aknowledge that CFW refers to a much larger degree.
It matters literally none. If it confuses anyone, they shouldn't be fucking with their consoles. It's the correct term, and it is not going to change. It would only make it more needlessly complicated to impose an arbitrary line as to where a modified firmware is considered "CFW"

As most of you know, people have been using the term CFW to refer to the option to use homebrew launcher on the photo album.

However, this is not a CFW at all, and at a certain time it could cause confusion, as a suggestion why not call it Homebrew Enabler? instead of CFW?

Just throwing my 2 cents here.
Did you just try to assume my FW?

Seriously, this post is just as stupid as White Privilege, Antifa and BLM. I now have cancer .

It's really sad we've hit that point where we are drawing a fine line on what is or isn't a cfw. It's in the damned NAME. CUSTOM FIRMWARE.. Custom... It's not some stupid little trick to get into the HBL like the browser exploit or smashstack.

    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
