Because some people will actually follow advice found on 4chan (that's your bad), a number of users have ended up bricking their new X-Box Ones by following these fake instructions to make your console backwards compatible (because it's really that easy, Microsoft just doesn't want you to know about it!). In reality you're setting your system in a perpetual boot loop.
Damn, Microsoft is slowly killing themselves

"The prank exploits a known vulnerability within the Xbox One framework. Each Xbox One can be activated as a dev kit through the use the the box’s developer console. However, you need authorization from Microsoft to do so. The graphic that has been floating around, seen to the right, provides a simple set of instructions that will invoke the developer console and claims to activate backwards compatibility once a certain ID is entered. That string of commands, though, will trap the Xbox One in an infinite loop of rebooting.
The prank is essentially the Xbox One version of the “delete system32” Windows prank that has been gracing the internet since time immemorial. Most people who would run into that prank, though, are savvy enough to avoid the advice, while the people that aren’t savvy enough likely won’t even know how to find and remove the directory. This Xbox One prank is a little more believable for a few reasons. A large part of the current-gen audience are younger people that grew up with consoles that are backwards compatible, and don’t remember a time when they weren’t."
