> the usage of the word "bricked"

Well, this is not nitpicking. The word "bricked" has a meaning, and this is not what the article describes. From the title, I thought that this update was actually bricking the computer. Thanks to the commenters for pointing it wasn't the case.

and yet, there are responses here confirming that the bricking is indeed what happens in some cases. so yes, it is nitpicking.
