- hansvm 2y ago"bricks"?
- chrisweekly 2y agoIt's slang; picture a literal brick (akin to a rock or stone). Your device is "bricked" if something has rendered it useless.
- EE84M3i 2y agoI think GP is suggesting that the idea the GGP encountered an SVG that bricked their iPhone (without being a specifically crafted exploit payload) is an extraordinary claim that would require extraordinary evidence.
- lawik 2y agoAlso easy to interpret generously as hyperbole. Especially if you know how easy it can be to accidentally do something that works fine in other browsers but makes Safari kill the tab. Doesn't actually brick the device but a fairly hard failure in the browser.
- hansvm 2y agoGP was right. I was pretty sure your interpretation is correct, but I've seen enough things over the years that I was curious if there were any more details about actual bricking.
- knighthack 1y agoI've always thought the word 'bricked' as more akin to 'turning the phone into a useless brick'.
- fivestones 1y agoSame here. Like now your phone will never run again.
