    More likely to RMA than go that route. Valve should’ve QA’d their updates so should cost em some money if they’re gonna push untested stuff to prod. If you gotta wipe and start over, best to do it with a fresh deck.

      I did that with the deck I received last October because the battery was broken and wouldn’t perform under load. I’ve always treated my systems mobile and desktop as simple computers I can tinker with so personally I’m not bothered with using a different than stock os.

        Yeah I don’t mind tinkering, work in dev so get extra annoyed when things like this happen in production, no way soft bricking should even be in the realm of acceptable possibilities for an update. Shit happens though I guess 🤷
