Where do you draw the line, though? Something that might be a brick to a web developer would probably be perfectly serviceable to me as a firmware engineer
Meanwhile, something that's a brick to me is often perfectly serviceable to someone who can operate a soldering iron
Something that's a brick to a competent hardware tech might still be serviceable to a 3 letter agency
- extra88 6y agoIf you can still boot a Mac from the recovery partition or an external drive, it’s not bricked.
- VRay 6y agoIt IS bricked if you're a semi-technical Chrome user whose mac is stuck at the question mark screen, though
- SahAssar 6y agoSure, the line is porous, but if it can be fixed by doing something with software that is documented by the manufacturer then I think it's definitely not bricked. In this case booting from recovery.
