This year's annual update to Google's operating system,
Android 15, is leaving some Pixel 6 users with a 'brick'
instead of a smartphone.
Panicking Pixel owners have rushed into online forums
reporting that their device is 'is basically a paper weight
now' — with phones failing to respond to even standard
troubleshooting methods to reboot after the update.
Early complaints from those seeking help on social media
suggest 'bricking' risk may be higher with use of the
update's new Private Space feature.
The feature allows users to wall-off sensitive apps
(everything from banking services to photo rolls) into
a discreet area off the main page which can then be
locked with a pattern code, PIN, password or fingerprint
identification.
'It's completely dead,' one Pixel 6 owner warned others
on Reddit.

Yet they want their AI to rule the planet ...
