    bricked a lot of people’s PCs

    Did the definition of “brick” in this context change recently, or did secure boot literally destroy people’s hardware?

      I had to put a jumper on the motherboard to do a hard BIOS reset on my son’s PC, and format the hard drive and do a fresh OS install. There are reddit threads and YouTube videos of people doing the same. I consider that bricked, but I suppose your definition could be more extreme.

        I didn’t know it was that bad. I have seen people using brick to mean they just had to reinstall the OS
