CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

I agree with the sentiment but ...

then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

Companies already put serial numbers in components and configure them so only specific ones work together, requiring OEM tools to pair them.
It's imaginable that someone makes something similar with e-fuzes instead.
