    After pulling out too early I bricked myself.

    If that wall breaks and falls on top of him, he’ll definitely be bricked.

  3. I put another brick in my wall. It’s completely bricked now.

  4. Good difference between soft brick and hard brick

    i think this is what he meant

    I take it this is about people saying the recent Nvidia drivers can supposedly brick your card?

    I take it that’s not actually happening then, which is good. I updated to the latest driver yesterday and found my PC would only boot to a black screen so had to sort things out in safe mode and install a more stable driver from earlier in the year. Annoying but nothing more.

    Bit surprised that quite a few people don’t seem to understand what bricking actually is, but then again I’ve been dealing with the term since learning to install custom firmware on the PSP.

    first time i ran into term “bricked” was in early 2010s when people massively tried to install custom ROMs on their smartphones and since then anything stops functioning == bricked

    yes, your computer is not “bricked” if windows doesn’t boot

    your computer is bricked when your motherboard’s not POSTing and there’s nothing you can do to fix it.

    Agreed…. You can’t brick a PC by corrupting windows…

    I feel like this is pretty self explanatory… if your piece of hardware is literally no more electronic/function than a clay brick… it’s bricked. 

    Just the more modern word for “a paperweight” or something

    I’m brick hard…wait….no wait…I meant what I said.

    AFAIK – the device get messed up real bad and serves as a brick.
    It requires some knowledge to revert back but it is tedious

    Doesn’t bricked mean you can’t do anything to fix your device? That it’s now dead weight?

  15. BallBuzzter

    I thought you meant Bricked Up until I read the sub

  16. winnybunny

    if a device is nothing else than a brick(like a paper weight) then its bricked.

  17. Steeljaw72

    Bricked: device no work and no reasonable way to fix.

    So IIRC, bricked means you did something at the firmware level to completely render a device useless.

    Everything else is just fucked.

    Am I correct?
