- rowanG077 6y agoHmm I never knew this was redefined. Bricked always quite literally means you device becomes permanently non-functional. I.E. a brick. What is the new word for this state?
- mhh__ 6y agoGiven that it's almost impossible to do this with modern hardware I don't see what the distinction is? I'm not aware of any way to make a modern x86 processor self-destruct. Apparently you can make an FPGA fry itself but even then not with good heat conduction away from it.
- rowanG077 6y agoNot with a general purpose PC no. But I don't doubt that it is possible to brick any of the current gen consoles if you try hard enough. Actually many general purpose laptops probably also can be bricked since the amount of non-standard hardware is increasing every year.
