      Did it tho? I know you didn't title this but God damn. Brick doesn't mean "to stop working temporarily."

          It can apply to both, it would be better described as a soft brick because it was temporary, but a complex fix

          A hard brick is the permanent kind

            It’s not your fault the video you linked uses that sensationalist title (unless you are Mr./Ms. Fireship themselves) but yeah, it’s click baity. Soft bricking is something just breaking. The term brick was meant as a harsher version of that. This title aims to grab you with a concept that is far worse than software errors when it was software errors.

            I have spent my time wisely typing this internet comment.

              I know that my Navidrome, Peertube, Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, Nextcloud, Immich etc. was still on, so - no, it broke the idiot's internet.

                A brick is a brick. It can be used to make a wall or hold paper down. That brick will never "wake up" and become more than a brick. A brick is not soft. A brick is not temporary. If you have a brick, it does not and will not ever work for anything except masonry.

                The word "literally" has real meaning and so does the concept of a "brick" in electronics. These things are immutable. Do not change the meaning of "immutable".

                      We call Nokia 3310s bricks, and yet they do wake up.

                        This reads like a SQL query.

                          Soft brick is a software brick, hard brick is a hardware brick.
