  Kind of hard to think of a use case for this. Not sure I’d ever trust a piece of tech that big, heavy, and expensive to just transport me into unpaved wilderness far from any of the resources it runs on.

  I agree. Accident or not, when a device is bricked it’s permanently fucked, functionally useless. The term suits it and should be what we call this practice unless there’s a harsher word to describe a company unplugging the necessary server that kills an otherwise useful, working device.
