to brick their systems.
With as many problems as Microsoft’s new gaming console, the Xbox One, has encountered in its rocky road to the holiday market, the real surprise is that how 4chan managed to wait til December before creating the ultimate prank for anyone still holding onto their dreams of an Xbox not “fraught with frustrations.”
Yesterday, 4chan’s infamous /b/ forum—which a few months ago convinced a bunch of people to dunk their new iPhones in water—unleashed an elaborate infographic that promises a “hack” to provide backwards compatibility for the Xbox One.

No, it's Microsoft's programmer(s) that were dumb enough to allow consumer versions to (?) switch to dev console mode which leads to you bricking.
Also this is like a week old now. I'm surprised it even managed to catch on to where people have to say don't do it.

Considering it's a computer a 'developer console' doesn't make much sense.
