    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

        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.

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

      This reads like a SQL query.
