Wait so are the devices bricked or not? The title says bricked but as far as I can tell people just can't log in temporarily until the fix is rolled out.

- penagwin 5y agoIt's a soft lock for sure, given it requires a software update to use you could likely consider this a soft brick too. It's not a hard brick to your point.
- sneak 5y agoNo, they are not bricked. The term has become ridiculously diluted in practice to mean "hard, breaking bug".
- dang 5y agoOk, we've done our bit to counter brick dilution in the title above.
- SquareWheel 5y agoAppreciated. Bricked used to mean utterly irreparable. The term certainly has seen dilution, and not for the better.
