Have they ever fixed 5ghz wifi? It used to brick my OG deck and then clearly did with OLED as well. Just kept it on 2.4 forever. Stupid ass problem.
I remember when "brick" had a very specific definition with respect to electronics... Does it no longer mean, "broken beyond repair"?
I think there has always been more than one meaning to it. To me it's also meant "requires a full reinstall/restore to get working again, either through normal means, or using a special tool/method". Like, full loss of data but not completely broken.
Anything less than that though, like a system freeze that only requires a hard reset, definitely doesn't count.
I always called that a
soft brick
when it could still power on, but couldn’t load the main operating system, but it could receive a reinstall of the system.Hard brick
was the one where it was permanently disabled either from not able to power on or was incapable of reloading the main OS without essentially “brain surgery” of the device.I guess brick could extend to broken components until a reboot (such as a broke WiFi driver or such). What type of “brick” would it be? How about
glitch brick
?
