DEFINE "BRICKED"
Apple can brick your phone. If they do, throw it away, it can't be "unbricked" by Apple or any whiz kid. Is this the case with a combine or tractor? Living in South Dakota I have long known about the ability to brick horrendously expensive farm equipment but have never understood if their definition of "brick" is the same as Apple's. If it is, then we need legislation to prevent that practice. My understanding is that in the U.S. farm equipment manufacturers no longer sell their equipment, only lease it and if that's the case, Bob's your uncle.
