  Bricked usually means beyond repair. The device is worth the same as a brick, as it is worthless exactly because it can’t be repaired.

    If I had a car that had suddenly stopped working due to a careless update, I’d want it to be bricked so I could make the manufacturer pay for a different fucking car.

    The fact it was disabled to begin with is enough for me to pass on a jeep.

    Anyone even accidentally remote disable my car, even if fixable, can go fuck themselves. Not interested, pass.
