I agree, but I can't think of another term that would convey the severity of this offending update.

How about "catastrophic"? Or "total failure"? Or "we can't find the word to convey the severity"?

Anything else than words that already have existing meanings. With that motivation, they could have said "... update that exploded all ..." since it's a really severe situation, but obviously we/they should use words that has the right meaning instead.

  • "Jeep just pushed an update that was catastrophic to all 2024..."

    "Jeep just pushed an update that was a total failure to all 2024..."

    Idk... Doesn't have a very good ring, because "catastrophic" and "total failure" in the realm of tech usually means something that if you try again it could possibly work.

    As I said, I agree that "brick" is a good word, I just don't think any of the alternatives are any better.

      As I said, "brick" is as good of a choice as "explosive", but you do you.
