Well, I mean, that is a reasonable line. But it's still moving the goalposts. I'll stick with bricked meaning bricked.

I lost that personal battle for 'hacker' and 'begs the question' but dammit I am sticking to it for 'brick'!!

Bricked meaning bricked meaning what? Where are the original goalposts?

Because nothing is unfixable. If bricked means unfixable, even with expert attention and unlimited replacements, then bricking is a meaningless term that only applies if you, like, atomize the device.

Otherwise...

There's the point where you have to replace a part entirely, but you might be able to steal that part from elsewhere in the device.

There's the point where you need entirely new parts.

There's the point where fixing costs more than the device is worth.

There's the point point where fixing costs more than the device was brand new.

Is one of the above a good threshold?

Would you pick something else?

Do you disagree about things being unfixable?

Well that is what I am sticking with, too!
