No, bricked was a word IT techs were using at LEAST as early as the early 90s as that's when I learned it. I learned it when someone bricked a network switch in 93. Originally in the Android world (and before android with Symbian and others) bricked meant you flashed firmware that really killed it, maybe you can bring it back with a JTAG connection or something more extreme. Then as modding became more popular, they started being able to more easily recover these and UNbricking became a thing.
