I remember when bricking something meant it was totally unrecoverable. Now it means "temporarily not working but will automatically heal".

My device is as worthless as a brick, but only for the 2 or 3 seconds it takes for the tip of my finger to travel to this reset button over here... <Tongue in="cheek"/>

Then it's not actually bricked.

>>belter+(OP)
Stub for arguing about what "bricked" means. These comments were originally replies to >>36941191 , but we moved them because the offtopic discussion was choking the thread.

Normally I'd have marked the entire subthread offtopic, but hutzlibu's comment deserves to be at the top, even if it does use the word "bricked" wrong.
