So then it didn't run after the car wash -- unless we're ignoring the mandatory steps needed to get it working again, the headline is pretty accurate. Or are you considering "bricked" a permanent condition?
Other people have already addressed the main issue here, so I think you're sorted there.
But yeah, I consider "bricked" a permanent condition - something broken beyond repair, so it's as useful as a brick. See also "paperweight".
What do you think it means? Temporarily unavailable?
Yeah I got the impression it was a recoverable condition after a search found a bunch of guides for "unbricking" (Android phones). Semantics are the true enemy it seems
Bricked is a permanent condition. And if they were able to get it working again, I wouldn't say it was bricked. More like broken or crashed in the software sense.
Still, it wouldn't run after the car wash either.
I meant more like, even if you wash a car with the doors open and water goes in everywhere and damages the car, you can still turn the key and it will start.
