How about "catastrophic"? Or "total failure"? Or "we can't find the word to convey the severity"? Anything else than words that already have existing meanings.

Anything else than words that already have existing meanings. With that motivation, they could have said "... update that exploded all ..." since it's a really severe situation, but obviously we/they should use words that has the right meaning instead.
- gchamonlive 1y ago"Jeep just pushed an update that was catastrophic to all 2024..." "Jeep just pushed an update that was a total failure to all 2024..." Idk... Doesn't have a very good ring, because "catastrophic" and "total failure" in the realm of tech usually means something that if you try again it could possibly work. As I said, I agree that "brick" is a good word, I just don't think any of the alternatives are any better.

- gchamonlive 1y agoIt's not even close. We're talking about soft Vs hard bricking, and how "to brick" usually means hard bricking instead of soft, whereas if you said the update exploded the devices you'd be outright lying. But you do you
- CaptainOfCoit 1y ago> 're talking about soft Vs hard bricking You might be, but the submission and the submission title doesn't, hence people calling it incorrect. As it stands right now, it's as much of a outright lie as saying they're exploding.
