Breaking windows is not bricking a machine, can we please stop abusing this term. Brick means irrevocably render an electronic device inoperative (making it as useful as a brick), short of something like JTAG or soldering.
This is especially important surrounding hardware bug concerns like this, because its at least conceivable that interactions with hardware bugs really could brick machines.
EDIT: for posterity post title is "Windows AMD Spectre patches brick some machines" atm.
