It's also not literally a brick, regardless of future functionality. The ability to metaphorically compare it to a brick doesn't seem to hinge critically on whether the metaphorical brick is a permanent metaphorical brick or a temporary metaphorical brick.
- akerl_ 1y agoSure. I’m not going to nitpick exactly how long or how severely something has been rendered inoperable. If somebody wants to refer to their phone as a brick because they’re camping and forgot the charger, that doesn’t bother me. I’m just pushing back on the idea that “bricked” is some random word with no meaning whatsoever.
